Tim Butterfield, who recently joined the Birthday Shoes Forums, has created a “dress mode” by modding his black KSO Vibram Five Fingers. Tim explains:
In the one picture, I am wearing some black Injinji performance crew socks. Though wearable, they are a tight fit. For a few hours it is fine. But, after a full day, they get uncomfortable. I’m going to check out some Feelmax toe socks to see if they are a thinner. Still, they do seem to be dress mode capable. And, in the rare case than anyone does notice and mention them, I wear them for health reasons. 😉
Tim’s “dressy” KSOs are one of two pairs he owns. His other pair, which I can only assume he considers casual, are blue camo classics (as he noted in the forums).
Are “dress mode” modded fivefingers enough to meet business casual standards? Maybe so. And like Tim, you can always say you’re wearing them for health reasons!
