Are FiveFingers KSO good parkour shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Depends on your parkour, I imagine. I doubt you're going to be taking big drops or doing really explosive moves in these, but I bet they're great for really technical,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], precise movement and navigating natural areas.
On the other hand,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you probably go "barehanded" all the time. Why treat your feet differently? Scrapes and blisters turn into calluses,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], right? I'm a fan of training barefoot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I think you can learn a lot. But I'm honestly getting kind of sick of all these barefoot advocates pushing their $80 specialty shoes. 5-Fingers are to the barefoot movement what Priuses are to the zero-emission car movement.

I just got a pair of these and wore them around one day so far. Didn't seem like a big revelation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], YMMV depending on what your gait is like. I haven't done parkour in them yet. The grip on the top of the toes is disconcerting- it feels like I'm dislocating my toe when it slips off the end of my toe (usually only when I'm dragging my feet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], like while coasting on a shopping cart). Had I not had a big coupon and store credit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I would not have bought them since $85 is not a small amount for such a limited piece of footwear. actually that's not completely true, since I've used them -ideally to protect a slightly jammed toe- while training barefoot in the gym and INSTEAD I SPRAINED IT really bad at least a couple of times,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], delaying tremendously the recovery. This because of the reasons explained by Seng (and I never thought about it.)
Now that I think about it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the worst sprains weren't mistakes (=catching on something) -even if that did happen-,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but simply pop-vaulting and over-bending the toe due to the extended shoe grip.
My toe sprain got better only when I went back to training barefoot (indoors),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and started taping the big and second toe together for enhanced support when applying pressure to it, .
Also (and again agreeing w/ Seng): when you start an explosive sprint (like a basketball first step),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you are leaning so forward and keeping your foot so close to the ground that it's very likely to slightly drag the front/top of your toes on the ground; anything catching or tripping you at that point could be responsible for an ankle/knee injury (used to happen all the time while playing "ball" with old conceived running shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which had a bit of a "tongue" to facilitate "rolling".).
