Most KB sport athletes wear weightlifting shoes with an elevated heel. I found when I moved from flats/barefoot to lifting shoes in kb sport, i instantly improved my reps in long cycle and jerk. Snatches it's either. For my general strength kb work, I am barefoot.

That's funny that you used Vibram 5 finger shoes. Cecilia Tom recommended those, and I used them for my training and at my cert. Falcon minds think alike.

Vivo barefoot shoes are the only answer.

I always KB barefoot at home but use VFFs or Feiyu's if I'm in public - no one wants to see these feet!
