* This review was on a prior version of the KSO. Up through 2008 (or so), the KSO had the exact same sole construction as the Classic and Sprint; subsequently, Vibram added 2mm of EVA to the midsole of the KSO, which continues to be included in the KSO to this day (See the definitive guide to the Vibram Five Fingers KSO).
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. If you want to catch up with what I'm doing outside of the site here, follow me on twitter @bdayshoes or @justinno or check out my personal site JustinOwings.com.Justin Owings+ has written 712 articles and 260 comments.

Wow great comprehensive list of reviews for all the shoes. I like that you split up the reviews by the shoe type. Great job.

Got a call yesterday (03/24) from the local shoe store about the arrival of a large batch of backordered Five Fingers. The owner said he made ten such calls. Within a few hours, I went, I sized, I paid, and I wore.The first 24 hours seem great. But getting those pinky toes in sure causes me a tough time. I hope this learning "curve" straightens out fast.

Finally, I found a site that gives me all the reviews and lovers of VFF :)This information is certainly very useful esp. when I am looking to change to Vff :)

Though this is certainly not always the case, we'd rather be in compliance with FTC rules & regulations governing bloggers and product reviews under the assumed "most biased" letter of the law. That said, if it's not immediately obvious, this site is a fan site for minimalist footwear such as Vibram Five Fingers, which is to say that there is a stated bias in favor of these products. Despite our stated bias, between the hundreds of user-submitted stories, the thousands of forum posts (both positive and negative, warts and all!), and the in-depth resources and guides, we do our best to provide in depth information on all products reviewed. In the end, though we strive to be a helpful resource and believe in integrity and honesty, we expect you to do your part — reading the research and making educated decisions (Read: take responsibility for your actions!). We have also passed on reviewing products (not VFFs per se) that were provided to us for free but did not "cut the mustard." If you have any questions about this disclaimer, please contact us!
