Because Vibram heard our voices loud and clear we will soon be seeing a KSO Trek in Women’s and smaller Men’s sizing starting in March 2010. My thanks goes out to everyone who made this possible through your continued support and also to Vibram for remembering us littler guys and gals out there across the land! Cheers!

Dear FiveFingers Community,

We appreciate your support and enthusiasm for our new products, the Moc, Performa, and KSO Trek. Reading through hundreds of your comments remains an integral part of our Facebook presence.

We would like to take this opportunity to address one of the most frequently recurring topics in this forum concerning the KSO Trek. Originally developed in response to the popularity of the Men’s KSO and user interest in a more rugged model of FiveFingers, the KSO Trek launched in October 2009.

Initially, Women’s KSOs were not as popular as Men’s KSOs, which is why we didn’t invest in Women’s ‘Trek’ tooling and equipment. In the past 6 months, interest in the Women’s KSO has increased, and we’ve heard the many requests for a women’s KSO Trek.

We are happy to announce the release of the Women’s KSO Trek, beginning in late Spring 2010. Additionally, the Men’s KSO Treks will be made available in sizes 38 & 39 beginning in March 2010. We know it’s a while off, but it takes a little while to develop the tooling necessary for this new product. We heard you, and we are moving as fast as we can!

Again, we thank you for your ongoing support and your candid feedback.

Sincerely,

The FiveFingers Team
