Most models available from Vibram meet (and even surpass) the criteria for selecting minimalist shoes from our list. They’re not for everyone, but they are revolutionary in their design and scope. TIME magazine even awarded Five Fingers as one of the Best Inventions of 2007 in the category of health. Customers report improved foot strength, agility, aligned posture, and a lessening of past running pains.

One of the most raved-about models is the KSO (Keep Stuff Out) Trek. Different than the regular KSO, the Trek is composed of a breathable and light kangaroo leather upper (available in different materials). It is great on rocky and craggy terrain, as well as backwoods trails. The EVA sole is protective and a bit thicker than their other models at 4 mm. The materials are robust, the craftsmanship superb, the leather smooth and soft, and the shoe is light (less than 6 ounces). The only downside is the slightly supported arch that is partially held taut with the top Velcro strapping mechanism. If you need an extra sweat-wicking layer or secondary insulation in colder temps, consider purchasing a pair of Injinji (www.injinji.com), toe socks that fit Five Fingers well.
