Patrick, a U.S. Marine Captain and Love reading your blog entries. I took a trip back to Braintree, Massachusetts to visit my family. We love going canoeing up in Conway New Hampshire. We’ve been going to the same Saco Bound company for years now. I live in San Diego so it has been a while since I made it up there. The last time I was up, I told my Mom I was pretty sure I was going to marry the current girl I was dating. Our wedding is now in 6 months after my fiance returns from Afghanistan. My fiancé Ingrid is a Lieutenant in the Navy Nurse Corps. She gets home in about two months and we get married Jan 15, 2011.
The KSO’s made awesome boat shoes for my trip. I bought my KSO’s mainly for doing some track workouts and crossfit workouts. I’ve noticed my feet get stronger and my calves thicker as well. Throughout the trip, having dexterity in my toes allowed me to stand in the canoe with some extra balance.

Great story! I love five fingers; just got my first pair the other day and I love them. I’m just sending feedback because I noticed you were getting married on my birthday. Haha, random yes but hope you guys live a happy barefoot life together!! =)
Awesome. Love our American heros!
Supreme props for showcasing this Marine! Thank you for your service, Patrick.
Great endorsement for the KSO’s. I’ve heard about the intensity of Crossfit. That’s great these VFFs are up to the task. I’m curious on the type of track workout movements you’re doing.
These look great! I love to canoe on the Saco River with Saco Valley Canoe (http://www.sacovalleycanoe.com) and will have to try these there. I love walking on the many rocky spots and hate most water shoes. These look incredible. Thanks for posting this!
