There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Now in my early 30’s, being 6’ tall, living in the northern Midwest where it’s cold 9-10 months out of the year and my joints are always talking to me; I came across an audiobook a little while back called “The Primal Blueprint”.
I’ve always naturally been a minimalist and naturalist of sorts. So the book really intrigued me! In listening to the book, it covered a section called “barefoot living,” where it basically discussed how primitive people didn’t have shoes and how they trekked across terrain barefoot and how since the dawn of shoes, not only have we as humans gotten away from our “natural” past, but we’ve also developed tons of issues within our feet, bones, joints and back; BECAUSE of our discovery(in millennia speak) and use of shoes.
This REALLY interested me because I’ve had back and knee issues for years now. Basically since my late teens/early 20’s.
The book discussed this “barefoot living” style and recommended “barefoot” shoes as a means of actually relieving pain in various areas of the body and helping to correct body structure over time. Wait... so you’re telling me this WHOLE time that I’ve been wearing ‘regular’ shoes they’ve been f’ing up my body?! Are you f’ing serious?! Apparently the issues are due to the raised heel on conventional shoes and how over time it affects the body structurally. Making it weaker...
Needless to say from that moment on I became VERY interested in this “barefoot” living style!
Remembering that I’ve seen these type of shoes before. First thing I did was jump on Google and searched “barefoot shoes”, and these came up!
After looking at various styles I decided on these KSO EVO’s based on the amount of positive reviews.
Well, I’ve had these shoes for a little more than a month now and I have to say, they do/will take at least a couple weeks of getting used to. Not only will they feel really weird on your feet, but your legs and calves will absolutely FEEL the difference of “barefoot” walking/movement.
But once you get passed that initial couple of weeks of adjustment and feel, wow!
It is still a bit weird to FEEL everything I’m moving on. But the shoes have conformed more to my feet and are VERY comfortable for being so minimal.
Also, I can honestly say that I’m already noticing a difference in my ankles, knees and back!
My ankles haven’t been popping as much. My knees definitely haven’t been popping as much especially when going up stairs. And my back is definitely less sore and stiff than it usually is!
These shoes really do seem to be making a difference and I’ve been wearing them daily(all day) now for the last couple of weeks. I’m not a runner. So they’re worn consistently around the house and when I’m out and about.
And, while my girl and stepdaughter think they’re “so weird!” I happen to think they’re actually unique and cool! And if they keep helping me feel better and stronger, they’ll stay on my feet! Quite frankly, I’ve never given a sh!t what anyone thinks...
After the initial bout of fatigue in my calves and knees, it’s pretty minimal now and I see it as these shoes are helping to strengthen me from waist down. While also helping to almost eliminate my back soreness and tightness. They’ve essentially helped me to identify my weak points. It’s pretty awesome!
Some notes...
To help you adjust, you may want to purchase some toe socks to not only make the adjustment period more comfortable, but help the shoes loosen up just a tad and possibly conform to your feet faster. It seems to have done the trick for me. Fair warning though, initially wearing socks with these is going to make your feet(especially toes) feel really squished. Personally, I prefer the shoes without socks now. Even when the weather is in the 30’s and 40’s. I kind of suck it up and deal with the brisk breeze in the shoes because I’ve come to realize the benefits I’m getting from wearing them! And honestly if I’m not actively thinking about it, I barely notice it.
In the winter months, I think I’ll actually try to see if Vibram or anyone makes a “barefoot” insulated shoe/boot of sorts and wear that. If not, well, I guess I’ll have to wear boots... but when I’m not working and the weather is anything above 30, I’ll be wearing my Vibram’s! I’ve come to appreciate them that much already!
Oh, and make sure you purchase according to your shoe size! So long as your shoes actually fit your feet correctly! I initially ordered according to the guide provided on here and ended up getting confused and ordered too small!
I’m a size 10 in shoes and initially ordered a 42(9-9.5) because of the guide. I exchanged those for a 43(9.5-10) and they fit beautifully!
Happy “barefoot living”! 🤘🏻👍🏻
but they need to take better care of shipping as the shoes come in card board boxes that are very small! Hands-down, rockstar shoes love them I love walking barefoot, but I can’t do it out in public these shoes and my other pair allow me to walk, barefoot without being barefoot. I don’t think we were intended to wear shoes if I don’t have urge support, which do you have. I don’t think we were intended to wear shoes. If I don’t have arch support in my shoes I get rid of them or foot insoles in them. I would wear these out arch support in my shoes I get rid of them or foot insoles in them. I would wear these out to a fancy dinner that’s how much I care about what people think about me who is driving what kind of car on every occasion! I have three herniated discs, and one of them is I have three herniated discs, and one of them is now bulging and herniated, and I need to cane to walk as I cannot afford back surgery and the surgeon at Stanford would not perform surgery on me because he said it was congenital. So these are Lifesavers, and make me smile looking at them they so ugly they’re cute! I will be buying more in the future! I will be buying more in the future. From someone that has purchased a lot of items on Amazon I can attest that these from someone that has purchased a lot of items on Amazon I can attest that these shoes will not disappoint! Whether or not you’re a woman or a man purchasing them!!!! shoes will not disappoint! Whether or not you’re a woman or even binary, you will not be disappointed in purchasing these adorable shoes!!!!
Top reviews from other countries
Ja, es gibt keinerlei Dämpfung.
Ja, es dauert Wochen, bis man in diesen Schuhen mehr als 5 Kilometer latschen kann.
Nein, sie sind im Winter erst ab 0 Grad "zu kalt".
Ja, sie eignen sich sehr gut zum Joggen.
Man sollte sie tendenziell eine halbe bis ganze Größe größer bestellen. Ich trage für gewöhnlich 42 bis 42,5, diese Schuhe trage ich in 43.
Es ist nun mein zweites Paar.
Die Sohle ist sehr widerstandsfähig und der flexibel. Sie löst sich aber irgendwann an stark bewegten Stellen (Spann) vom Obermaterial, man muss ggf. mit einem Kontaktkleber nachkleben. Die Schuhe werden regelmäßig bei 30°C gewaschen.
Vorsicht ist mit scharfen Fußnägeln geboten, ich habe mir einen leichten Schlitz ins Obermaterial eines Zehs gerissen, könnte aber auch von einem Ast im Unterholz gewesen sein.
Diese Schuhe sind gemütlich wie Socken, aber auf Waldwegen mit großen, spitzen Steinen, die im Boden stecken sind sie anfangs die Hölle. Es braucht Zeit, bis der Fuß genug Muskulatur aufgebaut hat und die von "normalen" Schuhen verhärteten Faszien wieder so flexibel sind, dass einem das nichts mehr ausmacht. Schotter, Gras und Asphalt sind allesamt kein Problem.
Es ist ein sehr schöner Jogging-Schuh für Strecken bis zu 10km (weiter jogge ich generell nicht), aber Vorsicht: klein anfangen. Der Schuh verzeiht keine Landung auf der Ferse. Man muss auf dem Vorderfuß laufen und die Ferse sollte den Boden nur leicht antippen. Tendenziell muss man die Schrittweite reduzieren und fast mittig über dem Körper aufsetzen, dann ist es ganz easy, aber es dauert seine Zeit, bis der Fuß und die Waden soweit sind, wenn man vorher eher der Typ war, der in stark gedämpften Schuhen von der Ferse auf den Bällen abgerollt ist. Muskelkater wird erstmal dein Freund werden. Aber keine Sorge, dieser Schuh bestraft einen schlechten Laufstil sofort, und man läuft schnell und intuitiv automatisch so, wie man es Barfuß im Freibad auch tun würde, weil das der einzig schmerzlose Weg ist. Um auf einen gesunden Laufstil umzulernen ist der Schuh also ziemlich optimal. Nur bitte erstmal beim Gehen an den Schuh gewöhnen, bevor man sich ans Laufen wagt.
Beim Gehen kann man auch normal auf der Ferse auftreten, wie man es in Socken oder Barfuß auch zum würde.
Seit ich öfter in diesem Schuh latsche und laufe, sind meine Füße stärker geworden. Der Spann ist vorbildlich und keinerlei Tendenz zum Plattfuß. Meinen Knien geht es auch deutlich besser, die hatten beim Jogging mit stark gefederten Schuhen zuvor gelitten, haben sich aber beruhigt, seit ich Vorderfuß und Wade als "Federelement" beim Jogging nutze, wie es die Evolution vorgesehen hat.
Der Schuh ist wegen seiner irre flachen Sohle und dem luftigen Obermaterial eher nichts für regnerische Tage. Man holt sich schnell "einen Nassen".
Das zweite Paar habe ich mir gekauft, falls dieser Schuh eines Tages ausläuft, dann habe ich Ersatz. Sowas mache ich extrem selten. Ich habe diesen Schuh lieben gelernt, trotzdem etwas wie Hobbit-Füße aussieht.
