have barely touched any other shoes since I received my five fingers. For me, it's actually better than going barefoot because the shoes spreads your toes a little. It is taking some time for me to get used to them, but my body and muscles in my feet are adjusting. I can imagine that I will buy a pair of the slip on style soon so that I can wear them everywhere

This is a great shoe. Great support and a very comfortable sole.

The KSO's design that covers the top of the foot is expected to keep sand out, at least more than the Sprint. I'll let you know.
