they are awesome. I am a big fan of them.

I need a new pair. I had the Classic, but i think i'll like the KSO or Trek better.

thanks for the link.

oh and at the beginning its a PITA, but after a few days, you catch on the trick to putting them on. start from small to big toe. The Classic model is definitely easier to put on though.

they are very very comfortable. It helps you develop muscles that you normally cant because shoes wont let you. There is also research done that shows how nowadays shoes are the cause for most people's back and lower body problems as they age.

For about 2 years i thought they were horrible. Finally one day I was at a specialized running store and they had them there. tried them on and got hooked.
