New Vibram FiveFingers KSO Trek Uses Kangaroo
For those of you not familiar with Vibram’s FiveFingers line of shoes they are basically running shoes designed to protect your feet and at the same time give you the health benefits of running barefoot (which many say prevent foot related injuries). Anyway, there’s a new addition to the Vibram product family and it’s partly made out of kangaroo leather. That’s right, that bouncing on 2 feet marsupial.

The barefooted.com’s ted was lucky enough to try on a pair and had this to say about them:
When I first put these shoes on, I knew that I had finally felt the most comfortable VFF yet. The kangaroo skin’s soft side is INSIDE the shoe…so your foot is encased in smoothness. Under 6 ounces. Rugged. Breathable. Thank you Gawd!
What’s new with the Kangaroo KSO Trek? It’s a more rugged version of their popular KSO (Keep Stuff Out model) and according to Vibram they say it is great for: Light Trekking, Trail Running, Fitness Walking, & Travel. Expect the Vibram FiveFingers KSO Trek to launch in the Fall of 2009 and retail for approximately $125. Can’t wait? You should check out their other FiveFinger Models.

On a side note.. we spotted a great deal on athletic shoes at this store. Free shipping as well until september. I like how it’s easy to exchange shoes even though it’s online. That was one of my main beef with buying shoes online before.
