@runnerchom: I'd say you can get a few hundred miles out of them, but outsole durability isn't quite as good as a Vibram outsole.

I was wondering how the Kigo Drive will hold up if they're used for daily runs. I run about 60-70 miles a week and need a pair of minimalist shoes. Your thoughts would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Rachelle: Thanks for the comments, and good points about the outsole and eco-construction. It's definitely better suited as an all-purpose athletic shoe than a dedicated trail runner. And the price point / eco friendly balance reminds me a lot of VivoBarefoot, who are also highly eco-conscious and tend to have high retail prices. Price of the drive is certainly fair considering the responsibility aspect.

Donald,
Thank you for a very fair, considerate review. A couple of points - the outsole has remained lug-free in order to preserve as much proprioception as possible. We realize that there are a few really wonderful minimalist off-road models, and kigo has gone for more of a versatility outsole - they are wonderful for hiking and some trail running, and are grippy thanks to the fingerprint grooves and flexibility. The higher price point is primarily due to the new eco-friendly materials, and I think you'll find that there is almost nothing in the market that is retailing for much under $90 (except the edge).

Happy Holidays to all! May it be light, adventurous and joyful.
Rachelle

Hi Adam,
If you visit the kigo Web site or http://vamoskigo.com, you can see a number of photos of the drive in wear. You can also see it in the black model.

Do you have a picture of what these actually look like on your feet? I think I would like them more if I saw a picture of them on someone's foot.
