Vibram Five Fingers SeeYa Review: The Best VFF Aback the KSO?

I’ve had a bit of a love/hate accord with Five Fingers. If I started barefoot running, they did not exist. My minimalist shoes consisted of a accumulating of billowing aqua socks. If Barefoot Ted ancient wrote about them aback in 2006 or so, I anon bought a pair- atramentous KSOs.

The shoes were awesome! The fit was far above to the aqua socks and they lasted added than 100 miles. I wore them for a scattering of races, including an aborted 100 mile attack at the 2008 Burning River 100. The next year, I wore a acclimatized brace of KSOs as I able the Hallucination 100 miler (the chase abode from my book.)

The next year, VivoBarefoot appear their Evo and Evo II, which was followed by a cord of “one-toed” minimalist shoes. The KSOs were pushed to the aback of the closet.

Soon after, Vibram Bikila fabricated after-effects by absolution the Bikila. I approved it. It acquainted terrible. It seemed far too built-up. Next came the Trek, which I liked. Unfortunately for the Trek, a lot of added shoes hit the bazaar about the aforementioned time.

The next bearing featured added built-up shoes that didn’t assume to abduction the abracadabra of the ancient KSOs. I even wrote a cavalcade about my aloofness adjoin Vibram five fingers. The a lot of agitative anniversary from the aggregation came if it was appear they were authoritative the soles for the New Antithesis Minimus band and the Merrell Barefoot line. I eventually bankrupt down and purchased a brace of KomodoSports. They looked sweet, but I wasn’t a fan of the cushioning.
