NOW the classics are completely ruined because the right show slips off my heal with every step! I wouldn't suggest cutting the cord UNLESS the shoes is rather tight even when the cord is not pulled tighter. I tried cutting the cord just a couple days ago.

If you are feeling brave you might try <a href="http://birthdayshoes.com/cut-the-cord-vibram-five-fingers-classics-strap-removal-modification" rel="nofollow">cutting the cord</a> as an option to relieve the blistering.

I get lots of "looks" of course, but that goes with the territory. I DO NOT love my "classics" however; I've had lots of problems with the tab wearing a blister on the achilles at both heels. The classics are poorly designed with this tab. I want my money back on the classics!

I've been wondering how well the design could hold up trekking, so with this post you've really piqued my interest. I'm awfully attached to my nice, sturdy boots though. :) I've read a lot about the benefit of the 'barefoot' style, but I don't go running.

I still have use of all my toes and it is only a very small amount more rubber than the KSO model. Not to mention they get rid of the raised heel and padding that comes on most other shoes. I think the KSOs give better "connection" to the ground but only a little more. Not really. I still have use of all my toes and it is only a very small amount more rubber than the KSO model.

The Treks are more water resistant than waterproof so they won't keep all the water out. I haven't experienced puddles but I have walked around in them in the rain and they did fine. I highly recommend them for an everyday shoe. Brian Thanks Bob! The Treks are more water resistant than waterproof so they won’t keep all the water out.

Very much like me. I have two pair of KSOs. I wear one all day (to, from, and during work) and run in the other pair. I really don't like anything else on my feet (when I have to have something at all). I'm considering the Treks. Pretty pricy but I may have to bite the bullet. Are they really water proof? Would they keep your feet dry running through shallow puddles for instance? In Him, Bob Great post. Very much like me. I have two pair of KSOs.
