Jesse sent in these birthday shoes shots where he's donning his new black fivefinger KSOs in Santa Monica, California. Here's what Jesse had to say:
Hi,
I bought these KSO's online at REI.com, waited a while for the backorder to come in and slipped them on as soon as they were delivered to the store. They are size 41 and I am showing them off while lounging in Santa Monica, CA. Nobody stared but I did get a double take from a short lady. Go figure.
Thanks!
As any VFF wearer will tell you, the jaw-dropping, eyebrow-raising double-take is a pretty common, humorous occurrence, which as Nathan put it in his VFF interview, "it's the second look that you have to wait for cause that is the one where they really get hooked!"
Hope you enjoy them, Jesse!

Funny, I've worn mine all over CA and never get double-takes or comments. It truly is the only place in the world that doesn't care. That's what I love about LA and other major cities in CA - they've seen it all, so no one notices. Awesome pic.
