As for the US, I'll bet that for every peak peppered with some native religious artifact, there are thousands.... thousands that are not. (Read early accounts of surveys and explorations).

The KSOs aren't quite the right model for running on trail. Trek Sport or Bikila is the ticket. And what's wrong with 5-Fingers anyway? I run in them.

Well, I've seen a few wearing these around the city, and heard positives about them, but still don't know much about them. They offer enough support for running? Bit like running barefoot I spose. I was thinking of getting some for camp shoes/slippers/ whatever you might call them.
