I first blogged about Vibram Five Finger shoes back in May of this year, and posted on the horror of modern shoes shortly after. These shoes have quickly become the only thing I wear, and today I received the newest model in the mail…the black KSO Treks pictured above and below:
The KSO Treks are only sold in stores, and they’re out of stock throughout the country. Fortunately though I was able to find them at GSS Gear due to a tip on this awesome Five Fingers forum. The Treks are made of leather, compared to the synthetic material on the KSO’s, and they’re insanely comfortable. Additionally, the soles are a bit thicker and have crazy treads as you can see in the picture below compared to the KSO’s:
Really, these treads are crazy:
Since I’ve been wearing Five Finger shoes almost exclusively for the past year, I’ve come to hate modern shoes, which are terrible for your feet. All it takes is a month or two of wearing Five Fingers to realize how caged your feet have been! Granted, Five Fingers are not cheap, but they’re the best shoes you’ll ever wear, period. Not only that, but the Vibram Five Fingers customer service is incredible. Although I really hate to admit it, I had a problem with my beloved FF’s. The straps on my KSO’s were fraying:
I called Vibram and they advised me to bring my shoes back to Massey’s where I purchased them, in order to get an exchange for a brand new pair of shoes. Now that’s customer service!
So go ahead, ditch your crappy shoes and get yourself a pair of Five Fingers!
