Vibram FiveFingers Barefoot Shoes

Posted by kim on October 7, 2009

I first wrote about Vibram FiveFingers Barefoot Shoes over two and half years ago. Since then they have released both Men’s and Women’s versions and styled them up a bit…

Vibram FiveFingers KSO Barefoot Shoe (Men’s, shown left in Blue/Grey/Camo) $84.95 from RockCreek.com

Vibram FiveFingers KSO Barefoot Shoe (Women’s, shown right in Grey/Fuschia/Grey) $84.95 from RockCreek.com

The Barefoot shoe is based on the age old concept that being barefoot helps your balance, your connection with the earth and energy, and gives you the ability to move in a more natural, healthy way. The KSO is designed to “Keep Stuff Out” with its abrasion resistant stretch polyamide and breathable stretch mesh that wraps your entire forefoot to keep out gravel, grit, mud and other possible irritants.

Read more and see more colors & styles (ie Flow, Sprint & Classic) here.

I still wouldn’t be caught dead wearing them. Just sayin’.
