Review for Zappos VIP Points (What's this?)I am LOVING this shoe! I tried several pairs of Fivefingers for my walks but came to realize that for me, less is definitely more! I wear the KSO EVO's as my everyday shoe. The sole is the thinnest in the line and I felt for long walks it just wasn't quite enough so I tried a couple other shoes that had thicker soles or different compounds that offer shock absorbency. Neither of them worked, however, and I ended up with the V-Alpha since it is the same sole as the KSO EVO's, just 7mm thicker... and it was exactly what I needed! I find I don't want to wear any other shoe now and am planning my next pair! It is important to note that we have so many nerve endings on our feet and activating those nerves regularly is so important for our nervous system and brain. These shoes straighten our toes and that aligns the rest of our bodies, too! I only wish I had tried these years ago! I highly recommend them!

These shoes did not fit well at all. I normally wear KSO EVOs, but bought these because I wanted sturdier soles for outdoor training. I ended up returning them. They ran way smaller than I expected - my toes hit the ends of all the toe spaces. In addition, the seam on the big toe space cut into my big toe.

Obviously the "arch support" option is irrelevant with a barefoot shoe--I wear them so my feet get to support their own arches by activating toe muscles. Anyway, this is an okay shoe, I can live with it, I think. Nowhere near as comfortable as the I-miss-it-terribly discontinued KMD Sport. I wish Vibram would stop re-inventing the wheel and replacing perfection with imperfection. This shoe was so small I had to send it back and go up from a 40 to a 41, a size larger than I've worn in this brand. The fabric is pleasant and the sole flexible, but the tongue of the shoe has a big thick bulge that presses on the tendons at the foot-ankle juncture. I'll see if it causes any problems once I do some long runs in them or if it's just an annoyance that I'll get used to. They look like they'll keep the desert grit out fairly well, and the width across the forefoot is great without being loose in the heel.

As of August 2021, Zappos' listing of the sizes is confusing/incorrect, and cross-comparing with Vibram's website didn't help much.
We ordered 3 pairs of these in different sizes... so you don't have to! Here's the sizing as listed on the box:
Size 38 = USA 7.5-8. Size 39 = USA 8-8.5. Size 40 = USA 8.5-9.
Hope that helps someone!

Review for Zappos VIP Points (What's this?)These are among the most attractive of my dozen pairs of five-finger shoes. I love them - live in them! One of my favorite things about these shoes is that I can just throw them in the washer (in a net bag, because of the velcro). I travel a lot, and these light weight, flexible shoes allow me to pack several pairs and still travel light! Zappo's is the BEST place to buy them.

Review for Zappos VIP Points (What's this?)These are cute for wearing around the house or light outside use. They aren't heavy like a real tennis shoe or sneaker. I use them for toe alignment after wearing heels, so I occasionally wear them. They are very comfortable!
