    Oh no you di en’t! LOL!

    Heehee! They feel GREAT.

    I think they look kind of cute. Just think how many people will be looking at you as you run past them, ha.

    Oh gosh I LOVE you.

    Keep us posted on these. I am totally intrigued!

  7. Stephanie — June 29, 2010 @ 11:18 am Reply

    Wow – have you tried them yet? How do they feel?

    • Jo-Lynne — June 29, 2010 @ 12:07 pm Reply

      YES! I ran in them this morning. They feel great.

  8. Jennifer — June 29, 2010 @ 11:33 am Reply

    I love them. I can’t wait to hear how they are working out for you.

  9. Debbie — June 29, 2010 @ 11:58 am Reply

    I’ve never seen running shoes like this. Am I missing out on something new?

    • Jo-Lynne — June 29, 2010 @ 12:09 pm Reply

      They’re for barefoot running. They protect your foot so you don’t get dirty or hurt, but they allow you to run as you would if you were barefoot, which is better for your joints and your running form. Google “barefoot running” and you will find a lot of info. 🙂

    I am SO getting a pair!

  11. Esther Crawford — June 29, 2010 @ 12:15 pm Reply

    Those are some crazy looking running shoes!

  12. Carrie — June 29, 2010 @ 12:17 pm Reply

    I remember when my friend first wore these to school so long ago. Everyone thought they were so awesome (and it was even high school). I always thought they were a great idea…but getting over the vanity thing is a liiiiiittle difficult.

  13. Joy — June 29, 2010 @ 12:41 pm Reply

    Oh I want some!

  14. Laurie — June 29, 2010 @ 1:55 pm Reply

    Just curious – what sold you on the KSO as opposed to the Classic?
    I’m continuing to do research and found this great website:

      They were the only style they carried at the store. That’s also why I got black — they were the only color they carry. THey said they are selling so well that they will be carrying a larger variety of colors and styles this fall, so that’s fun. If it turns out that I really love them, I will probably get another pair.

  15. Elaine — June 29, 2010 @ 2:31 pm Reply

    Awesome. Are you loving them already? I may need a pair…

    • Jo-Lynne — June 29, 2010 @ 2:37 pm Reply

      I do.

  16. Cara — June 29, 2010 @ 2:53 pm Reply

    My uncle and brother both have these and wear them ALL the time. Not just for running. I get that they are useful for running, but the guys in my family are just silly. 😉 Hope they make your running a fabulous experience. Bet you’ll get more than a few looks while you’re out there pounding the pavement! 🙂

  17. Crystal P — June 29, 2010 @ 3:05 pm Reply

    I don’t run, but for some reason I could see me wearing these ALL the time haha, I’d probably get made fun of but they just look SO comfortable. Question, they look like they are made of that breatheable material? I have some Nike’s made out of that, which is nice, but run through some wet grass and your feet are soaked, that’d be my only concern?

    • Jo-Lynne — June 29, 2010 @ 3:06 pm Reply

      This morning I ran a bit in the grass, and they didn’t feel particularly wet – not as wet as when I run in my Brooks running sneakers.

  18. Stephanie — June 29, 2010 @ 5:36 pm Reply

    And you posted a picture! Awesome.

    Tell me. Are they hard to get on? I think mine might be too small because I have to *struggle* to get them on and then they feel too tight around the top of my foot. It could be my crazy high arch…

    • Jo-Lynne — June 29, 2010 @ 11:50 pm Reply

      My guess is, they are fine. The guy at the store warned me that they would be hard to get on. Mine weren’t, but I have flat, narrow feet, and shoes are often too roomy. He was AMAZED at how easily mine went on. If you have high arches, that’s why.

      He said the big toe and maybe even the second toe can and probably should touch the end of the shoe. The first pair I tried on, all of my toes touched, and I felt a bit cramped. With the next size up, the pair I got (size 40 and I’m usually an eight) the big toe sort of touches but the rest don’t. I don’t feel cramped, but neither are my toes far enough back to get caught on the rubber part.

    Maybe you will start a whole new trend for mummy bloggers – and we can all PRETEND we wear them too, without actually having too!

    I’ve been such a scaredy cat to try these after I saw them in my niece’s shoe shop in Florida. A lot of the runners there wear them and they are supposed to be great to run on the beach too. Keep me posted on how they are when you are running because I may just have to cave too! Thanks for always inspiring.

  22. Becca - Our Crazy Boys — July 9, 2010 @ 8:04 pm Reply

    So… do you run in them every time you run? Do you switch out with “regular” sneakers? Are you hooked??

Who else could use a little pick-me-up right about Who else could use a little pick-me-up right about now? 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m partnering with @victoriaemersondesign today, and all her full-price bracelets are BOGO free (except the new gold vermeil.) I love how the gold and teal from the Trieste boho cuff pops against this winter white outfit.

I talk a lot about outfit formulas, and this is on I talk a lot about outfit formulas, and this is one of my favorites because it’s virtually fool-proof: camel sweater + black jeans + animal print shoes. Top it off with a black jacket, add a few key accessories, and you’ve got an elevated look that's easy to replicate at any price point.

Most of the pieces I'm wearing are old or low inventory, but I tried to find some good alternatives. See more at www.jolynneshane.com or shop this look via link in bio👉🏻@jolynneshane.
