Shoes, but not as we know them.

SpeedKSO TrekMocSprintKSO Trek - wms you'd be mistaken if you thought these were gloves, infact they are indeed shoes. I tried them on today during my shopping trip, and to my complete surprise they are extremely comfortable, so much so, they are like wearing a pair of socks, in fact you almost forget they are on your feet, I'm seriously considering purchasing the lace up pair.

Let me know how you find them. I have a few runner friends who love them, but they run off road. If you are a road runner you might prefer your other shoes. Read 'Born to Run' - this guy doesn't wear shoes at all! I'm a runner but have not made the switch yet.. still in my Asics... Looking forward to hearing! :)

OMG louise, I couldn't run to save my life, I'm useless, but I believe they are really good at correcting the way that you walk, and I love walking around barefoot, so I figured these were a nice alternative.
Mr iLE AiYE is purchasing a pair later today, and I'm gonna save up my pennies.
I'll let you know never-the-less how we get on, :)

Oh I just assumed you were a runner from your body, you look long, lean and fit. :) If you are after a good walking shoe though I wear these ones and find them very good for correcting posture. But they are not the barefoot thing... so might not be for you. http://www.fitflop.com/

Oh the sandals are quite nice, thanks louise,
I used to cycle around 70 miles a week, this might have something to do with me lean shape, but for the past two years, I've hardly done any exercise.
I think my figure is inherited from my mum, she's got an awesome body :)
