Toe Shoes: The First Day

The day after I bought my KSO's, I had an all day shoot in Orlando. I had them on 8+ hours and felt great!

Trek's might not be good for all day wearing, they're heavier and have more padding, and less breathable-- they're literally more for trail running and such

not so much walking on carpets in exhibit halls

Black KSO's are great for being lowkey, but still get noticed like crazy

@jokergd thanks for the tip! I was going to get them today, but I am now heavily reconsidering.

@Swilliam127 well, you'd be surprised, but when we see a person as a whole, our brain processes the image differently in the background

as people see your outline, your shoes look unusual, and do not conform to some known configuration, that aspect of you sticks out, and they focus on it

same reason you can spot people in vibrams easier

(btw, these are all my own theories opinions and stuff)

Do you wear socks with them? Do your feet smell? My roomie wears them w/o socks and his feet really get stinky. Does that happen to you?

@toeshoesblog i heard to avoid fakes to not buy colors that arent listed on the vibram site and these gray palm clay colorway isnt listed, that doesnt necessarily mean theyre fake, do they?

wearing in vibrams and your feet is a pain! nothing worse! but once your feet build up a little and you wear those damn things in, Ooo WEee! I work at a cafe where I am on my feet all day, and they are the only shoes that don't leave me with sore feet at the end of the day!

@jokergd These are all accurate and proven by observation, testing and neuroscience. Good work

@CooperCarr87 The man with her, in dress shoes, looks enviously at Justin's KSO's. At about 0:40 and 1:11 Justin vigorously wiggles his toes, like the others probably only wish they could.

0:47 woman gestures with stupid incredibly dumb and uncomfortable heels at the shoe she wish she had. MAN'S WORLD!

Vibram KSO's are heavy on the dork factor, but damn are they amazingly comfortable! I workout in mine.

Ok, so I'm thinking of getting these shoes, and I narrowed it down to three options. Komodo, Bikila, and the KSO. I don't know which one I should get. I want a shoe that has good grip on the ground, doesn't wear out easily, and is good for running.

I wear my Vibram Kimodo's 7 days a week through workouts, everyday life etc. One huge gripe-they STINK even after washing them with denture cleaner,soap,..you name it. Otherwise I love them and would not go back to conventional sneakers.

@lemans24fan considering they do more for you then regular shoes; i think they will.
