The KSO's are the only way to go...I have them, the Flow, an Komodo Sport and the KSO's are by far your best bet.

vibrams.co.uk is registered by an individual, Khalid Keenan. The only Khalid Keenan on Linkedin or that I can find is an analyst at Goldman Sachs.

vibramfivefingers.it is registered to the company Vibram and is the official European site. It gives this page as advice on how to spot fakes:

http://www.vibramfivefingers.it/how-to-spot-a-fake.aspx

Point 3 of this page details:

The "retailer" can't be found on our store locator. All authorized Web retailers of Vibram FiveFingers® products must have a brick-and-mortar presence.

The only UK retailer on their store locator is Primal Lifestyle Limited

http://www.primallifestyle.com/

This website is registered to 'Matthew Wallden', a quick check on Linkedin shows that Matthew Wallden is the owner of Primal Lifestyle.

So, not saying that vibrams.co.uk isn't legitimate, but if you want to be certain, shop from Primal Lifestyles.

Have a lovely day,
