I used to have serious shin splints until I switched to these. my feet are also stronger and I lost a shoe size. I have not used them for lifting yet.

You lost a shoe size? I’ve had mine since May, and no decrease in foot size for me.

What are the chances we could get a picture of Jamie Eason wearing Fives?! Jamie, honey, if you’re reading this, PLEASE. It would make my week. I’d place that pic next to my squat rack where it would stay.
On the sock issue, do most of you not wear socks then?

I just bought some KSOs. havn’t had a chance to wear them around yet though.
does anyone have the socks? do they make a big difference?[/quote]
Shoot dre a PM if he doesn’t jump in this thread. I know he has the socks and loves them, but he also loved the shoes before he got the socks too. haha
Have them, Love them. Besides work, since the day I got these I have not had anything else on my feet. It’s snowy and cold here and my feet feel so comfortable in them the cold doesn’t even seem to bother me. I mean it’s not like i’m out all day in the snow with them, but the occasional walk outside to the car or whatever is no problem.
Also I have only had one negative comment out of about 100. I mean seriously. They just look cool. I went with the ones in the pic, black KSO. If you are thinking about buying them, there is a lot worse ways to spend 70 or 80 bucks. I’m sure most of us have blown that at the bar in one night before X2 or 3 for me.

You were flat footed and now you have a good arch? That is some crazy shit right there! Good for you!
I am getting a pair for lifting and running.
