Within a week of owning them you will be sliding them on in under a 2 minutes if not faster.

That's what I want to hear Smiley

I've had mine since august and I can just step into them, or just slide them on with my leg crossed like any other shoe.

I remember trying on my first pair at REI.  It was quite an ordeal getting them on. Now its easy and only takes a few seconds. The only exception for me are my KSO Treks. For some reason, my pinky toes are very resistant. Which is interesting since I wear my KSO Treks to work every day.

I can separate them without problem, but the moment I am barefoot (or in "normal shoes") the pinkies cling to the next toe.

You guys are giving me hope!  Grin I'm doing the toe exercises in Michael Sadler's book plus running BF now so hopefully my pinkie will gain some strength. Maybe I should invest in some tiny dumbells  Tongue

I can pick up most objects, including my tv remote, provided they are "thin" enough to fit in the small wedge between my pinky and ring toes. My pinky toe is my most flexible. I'm pretty proud of the little guys haha.
