Comments about Vibram FiveFingers KSO Multisport Water Shoes - Women's:

I've only had these for a little while but I can honestly say I AM IN LOVE WITH THESE SHOES! I use them everywhere...people think they're hilarious. I think they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. It is so nice to actually be able to wiggle my toes. If it is at all possible, I go barefoot. Shoes make me crazy but these are truly the best of both worlds. I'm going to tell everyone I know to buy these, and you should too!:)

Comments about Vibram FiveFingers KSO Multisport Water Shoes - Women's:

Just traded my FiveFinger Sprints for KSOs - huge difference in comfort. The Sprints pulled my little toes oddly (and uncomfortably). Gave them a few days test around the house, but knew things weren't quite right when I tried on the KSOs. The KSOs are way more comfortable - harder to get on, for sure, but far more comfy. So far, I've only worn them around the house, but I think they're going to be fab.

Size-wise, the sizing chart is dead-on. Measure your foot, as suggested, by standing against a wall and slipping a ruler underfoot. Use the measurement in inches to find your size on the chart - I wear an 8.5 normally, and the KSOs in 39 are perfect.

Hoping these help with my chronic back pain ... figured it was worth a shot!

Comments about Vibram FiveFingers KSO Multisport Water Shoes - Women's:

I really love these shoes!

The blue color KSO's that REI offered seemed a bit "loud" to me, so I went to an REI competitor and got a pair of black ladies KSO (sorry, I hated doing this since I love REI). I was hoping to draw the least amount of attention to my feet with the black color, but I still do get a number of puzzled stares.

However, the comfort that I have with these shoes plus the smug feeling I have as I watch my friends run barefooted across the hot concrete surfaces at the local water amusement park is well worth it.

The only drawback about these shoes is that they can be hard to put on. Otherwise, I'm very happy with these shoes.
