Finally, for an ongoing discussion on pre-orders and general ordering of the new Vibram fivefinger models, see this forum discussion!
I’m excited to announce that John over at Kayak Shed is now taking pre-orders for the Vibram FiveFingers KSO Trek, the FiveFingers Moc, and the FiveFingers Performa!
These three new models are the latest fivefingers designs from Vibram. Each was created to address specific requests from fivefinger users. Specifically:
the Vibram Five Fingers KSO Trek
 |
 |
The KSO Trek employs the most aggressive Vibram fivefingers sole yet, 4mm of stone-bruising protective EVA midsole, and a tear/sweat/bacteria-resistant kangaroo leather upper to make for the most rugged and durable answer to trail running, hiking, cold-exposure and general outdoor use yet — all while “keeping stuff out.”
The Five Fingers KSO Trek is available in black and brown and retails at $124.99. KSO Treks are size according to the existing KSO specifications (Help on sizing five fingers here). Read the full KSO Trek review here.

the Vibram fivefingers Moc
 |
 |
The Vibram fivefingers Moc is a male-specific VFF that utilizes seven distinctive Vibram rubber pods (with the heel, ball, and each toe receiving their own individualized sole) all while providing the flexibility, tear resistance, breathability, and comfort of kangaroo leather. The Moc is the closest thing to a true “foot glove” yet. Finally, the Moc has a slightly higher front lip (or “vamp”) making them quite the svelte men’s VFF. Could someone get these and wear them to a black-tie event already?
The ultra-flexible Moc is intended for use indoors — yoga, martial arts, weight-lifting, CrossFit, James Bond-like espionage, etc. You can see my unboxing and first look at the five fingers Moc here.
The Moc is available in blue and black and retails for $109.99. The Moc effectively sizes the same as the Classics.
Get the fivefingers Moc at KayakShed! Or find a pair via major Vibram Five Fingers retailers online at the store!
the Vibram fivefingers Performa
 |
 |
 |
|
The Vibram fivefingers Performa is a women’s specific “foot glove” like the VFF Moc. It employs the seven-part podded Vibram sole technology whereby the heel, midfoot, and each toe gets its own, individualized “sole” and the entire casing of the Performa is constructed of kangaroo leather. The primary difference is aesthetic: the Performa has the more typical VFF design with a lower arching front lip (or “vamp”) as opposed to the higher vamp of the Moc.
And they simply look rad.
The Performa is an indoor-specific fivefingers model which can be used for any indoor activity under the sun — including yoga, martial arts, pilates, weight-lifting, and CrossFit, just to name a few.
The fivefingers Performa is available in coral, violet, or black and retails at $109.99. The Performa sizes the same as Classic fivefingers.

I’M SO EXCITED!!!
This is my local (semi-local) shop too. I bought one of my boats (other was used) & a few pair of Vibrams from them.
Preordered my Treks.
J, let me get this right: to your knowledge the trek is coming in male-only sizes?
if that’s the case b) that totally sux and a) and understanding of why?
tnx

mc,
That is correct, unfortunately. Having said that, I’d be beyond surprised if they don’t eventually come up with a KSO Trek for women as, based on the initial excitement about this model and the overall desire to have 1) a rugged VFF 2) a VFF that is a bit fancier/nicer quality 3) a trail specific VFF for running or hiking; it just wouldn’t make sense to do anything *but* extend the Trek to women.
Why aren’t they rolling it out that way from the start? I have no idea. My only guess is that Vibram USA/fivefingers is still a small operation that is trying to keep up with their growing popularity. Maybe they have limited production capacity? Maybe limited capital (wouldn’t be a surprise in this econocmy)? Again, no idea.
Frustrating for all the women out there, for sure. At least some women should be able to pull of a men’s size, but that’s not much consolation, is it?
How i can order your shoes please contact me i’m thai people so exiting about vibram five finger so much
Are the Mocs sized the same as the Classic or the KSO’s. I think you have answered this,but just want to confirm before ordering.
Great reviews!
I’m aching to buy the KSOs so bad…does anyone know if they will be on sale during memorial day?
