Hello, my name is Corey from Cincinnati, OH. I first went "barefoot" in VFF KSO's last summer. Since then I've bought a pair of VFF Smartwool Classics and VFF Treks. I wear the Treks to work often and hope to do some hiking and backpacking in them once the weather turns. I used to run in my KSOs but my current work schedule is hectic to say the least.

Yes, found the link on BPL (I think from you).

Better yet, not just a backpacker, but a UL one too!
Have you done much backpacking in minimalist footwear yet? What have been your experiences?

None so far. Plan to change that once the weather warms up. I'm afraid my toes will fall off if I try backpacking when it's 20 degrees in my Treks!

Yeah, the separate toes are definitely an issue in the colder weather. I am currently in a pair of Inov-8 RocLite 288 GTX for the winter here in Maine.
Hey, another backpacker, woohoo! Welcome!
