The Vibram Fivefingers KSO Classic was one of the first ever barefoot shoes developed. Possibly the most successful Fivefingers shoe to date and a Barefoot Junkie favourite. The KSO now a classic was brought back in to the range a couple of years back as a special edition to celebrate its 10 year anniversary. It was so well received by owners of the original and new barefooters alike there was no option but to bring it back full time into the Vibram Fivefingers range.
