Posted by Vibram’s choice not to release a women’s FiveFingers KSO Trek inspires petition | Living Barefoot | October 5, 2009, 21:31
First, the bad news: Vibram has no plans to manufacture a women’s model of the popular KSO Trek.
The good news is that they would if there was demand for it.

Georgia Shaw, a marketing associate for Vibram says, “…the more we hear back from women who are interested in trying this model, the more likely it is for us to answer that.”

There’s a really easy way for us to give them the feedback they’ve asked for.
