Instep straps secure with rip-and-stick closures and are attached to thin webbing straps that wrap around heels to provide a secure, supportive fit. Antibacterial footbeds absorb moisture and help control odors. Vibram soles are designed to follow the contours of your feet and toes; made of nonmarking Vibram TC1 performance rubber. Razor siping on soles provides sure grip on wet and slippery surfaces. Recommended for light trekking, climbing, canyoneering, running, fitness training, yoga, Pilates, travel and most water sports.

From RockCreek:
"The Vibram FiveFingers KSO Barefoot Shoe is one of the most innovative products to come out in a couple years. The Barefoot shoe is based on the age old concept that being barefoot helps your balance, your connection with the earth and energy, and gives you the ability to move in a more natural, healthy way. The KSO is designed to "Keep Stuff Out" with its abrasion resistant stretch polyamide and breathable stretch mesh that wraps your entire forefoot to keep out gravel, grit, mud and other possible irritants. A single hook and loop closure helps secure your foot in the shoe giving you the ability to scramble up steep slopes or hop down river cobbles. By walking in a protective sleeve over your feet, encased in sticky, protective Vibram rubber, the FiveFingers KSO stimulates the muscles in your feet and lower legs to build strength and improve range of motion. Many people who use these shoes have said they had a better sense of balance, greater agility, and visibly improved posture. Constructed with a non marking Vibram TC1 performance rubber sole, and a thin abrasion resistant stretch polyamide fabric that fits low on the foot for comfort and quick drying."

The material dries much quicker then that of the Flow's and the KSO's have a thinner sole for more feel of the ground. These are also great for camp shoes."
