UPDATE (7/1/10) - The Brown Women's KSO Trek is now available at REI!
I have some happy news for women — at long last, CitySports now has the womens Vibram Five Fingers KSO Trek in black. If you recall, the KSO Trek was greenlighted for production back in the beginning of November (We broke the news on the Vibram Five Fingers KSO Trek for women here!). The KSO Trek retails for about $125 and you can get free shipping at CitySports using the coupon code BIRTHDAY. Here's the product info on the Five Fingers KSO Trek:
"The Vibram FiveFingers KSO Trek is a more rugged version of the popular KSO. The Kangaroo leather upper and sock liner are soft against the foot, yet strong and tear resistant, with outstanding breathability. A 4mm EVA midsole offers plating protection from stone bruising, and a lightly cleated 4mm Vibram performance rubber outsole delivers improved traction on trails and over more rugged terrain.
The KSO Trek is best for: Light trekking, Trail running, Fitness walking, Travel"

Since I'm on the subject of inventory at CitySports, I'll mention that CitySports got an injection of Vibram Five Fingers Bikilas in Silver and Red and Silver and Green. This inventory alert was sent out via the Five Fingers inventory email alert system about an hour ago!)
About the Author — I founded BirthdayShoes.com in April 2009 on realizing just how much I enjoyed having "free feet" - I mostly wanted to use them for weights, sprints, and plyometrics (I'm not much of a runner!). I'm a Googler by day and minimalist footwear aficionado by night; you can find me 'round Atlanta.

To hear the the women's Trek sizes are out was a great birthday gift for me today... Alas, they don't have my size in :-( I hope they get more in soon. 
Ordered mine last night. I can't wait to get them. These inventory alerts are awesome!!! 
Nice. But, they waited a little too long. I've switched over to Soft Star Shoes RunAMocs, which have a trail version, and they never stink. 
I should stay so, so far away from this site. Ordered mine too :) 
Very excited! I'm still waiting for the brown version, but am thrilled that they at least now exist in black! :) 
I just got mine today, these are the most comfortable VFFs ever! I can't wait for more color options. Just got mine today and they are great. I plan on wearing them when the weather gets cooler. City Sports is pretty fast with shipping. Now I just have to wait for them to get some brown ones in stock. 
Got them yesterday, and went for a 6 mile run. They were awesome! Not only were they more comofortable than my ksos, I think they are a great transition for someone who is considering minimalist shoes. Brown ones are now available at REI! My pair is ordered and on its way... :D
