Lifelong fan of five fingers, these did not disappoint. Got them two days ago and have already ran 7 miles in them. No blisters in toes or back of heel.

Like being barefoot? If you do and want protection when doing so, these are perfect. I wear boots all winter and these all summer.
I'd also recommend:
Scarpa boots, mephisto shoes

I LOVE THEM!!! As someone that has an awful habit of going barefoot all the time, these are the best possible solution for me. I honestly don't feel like I have anything on my feet!

I bought these shoes in order to provide support for my feet while I try to build up the strength in my feet. I have injuries to my left ankle and metatarsal and am trying to rehab these components. These shoes are helping me to do just that; I can work on actively engaging parts of my foot (ie gripping my toes, pushing down the metatarsal while trying to lift the arch) while I do different activities. This active engagement can then extend outside of just the given time that I am doing PT on my foot.
The Vibram sole provides protection and comfort while I go about my day and use my feet purposefully. I can feel the difference when I go back to normal shoes and start to get a bit disconnected/lazy with how I use my feet.
I gave this 5 stars for style because I was comparing them to other 5 finger shoes, not society's perception of how stylish they think these shoes are to begin with.

The fit is very good, just remember when ordering that the correct size will normally be one larger than a normal shoe size.
Also when putting on the shoes, prepare to take a few minutes to ensure that each toe goes into the right pocket. If you don't the shoes would be very uncomfortable.
There is enough room for your feet to breathe, and the fabric to stretch during normal use, but you will be cold if you use them outdoors in cold weather.
I am very happy with it so far after 2 days of an hour long workout each day.

I've worn Vibram FiveFingers and Merrell Barefoot Shoes for a number of years. They both took some getting used to, but now there is no "going back!"

First time trying to put these on probably took me five minutes. Once on, they felt amazing and I really wanted to keep them. After wearing them around the house for ten minutes I realized there was a seam across the top of my smallest toe in the RH shoe that was really starting to dig in. After half an hour it was hurting enough to be a deal breaker. I had ordered two sizes and saw that both pairs had the same twist in the RH smallest toe that caused the rubber-to-fabric seam to wind up on top of the toe instead of off to the side like it was meant to be. Decided to return and not reorder, since I believed the chance of getting another bunk pair seemed pretty likely.

Supremely comfortable barefoot shoe with proper width, incorporating true natural shape of the forefoot and toes and none of the narrow width lunacy that's so en vogue these days. Have used it for hiking a few times and love it so far.

Unsure as to whether shoe reached the outstanding mark as far as comfort goes. Unfortunately, I had to return the shoe because the 48 was a bit too large for me, and the is out of stock. It is a very convenient shoe to have on a vacation, as it serves as an all purpose water and hiking shoe.

They are supposed to fit like gloves, so you want them snug. I love my Vibrams. Recognize that if you want to start running in them, you have to take it really slow and build up the stabilizer muscles in your legs; as they are not used in regular shoes. Once you are running for a bit in them, you’ll notice that you do not feel the shock of pounding on pavement, as your stabilizer muscles take the stress off joints. Also, good advice is to use them on concrete. This sounds counterintuitive, but wearing on grass or other soft surface, you might step on something sharp that you could not see. One drawback is that they are odd looking, and draw stares. I have another pair of barefoot-type shoes (no heel drop) that look more like regular tennis shoes, which I wear for more everyday use. Vibrams are the way to go for running, though.

I had to go down one size so my toes fit correctly while my heel is snug. Materials and build seem great and I’m really enjoying them. I am strictly following the instructions to avoid injury as I start using these minimal shoes. So far I love’em.

I was a bit skeptical of how comfortable these would be. But after a few days, I really got used to them and they feel like gloves for your feet. I really enjoy wearing them, around. I am still in the get your body used to them phase, but so far so good. I have not run in them yet, so I cannot comment on them for exercise, but as everyday shoes, they are awesome, they work really well for Kayaking too.

Our family is committed to wearing minimalist/zero drop shoe. I purchased these 5 finger shoes for 3 of my boys (ages 16, 14, 12) who would rather be barefoot but sometimes need to wear shoes. We have had at 20 pairs of 5 finger shoes over the years, so we are not new to the style/fit. The boys liked that the sole on this style is flat and more flexible than some of the other styles they have had in the past as it feels closer to barefoot. The gray/black is "fancy" enough to wear to church and my oldest wore it with his suit to a formal school dance. This style is a winner!

Started running barefoot twice a week and discovered I am a natural barefoot runner. This is my first five finger and fits almost perfect and gives you the barefoot running experience. I recommend this product if you are a.natural barefoot runner.

This is my first venture into the minimalist shoe world. I was intrigued with this style due to my feet being profoundly flat, collapsed really. For flat feet, these types of shoes allow the foot and toes to be in their natural more spread position and not be compressed into a tight fixed arch positioning. All that made sense to me and I thought I'd give them a try.
Reading that sizing is all important (should fit like a glove is what they say), I first went to the Vibram web site and used their sizing chart. It suggested a size 44. Receiving those it quickly became apparent that 44 was way to small. Zappos exchanged the 44's for 45's. They too were too small. Zappos exchanged those for 46's. These fit like a glove. Now, I can attest to their supreme comfort for my old flat feet. This will be my regular 'go to' shoe.
And, thanks Zappos for the premier service; absolutely outstanding in every way.

I have had approximately 12 pairs of Vibrams, hands down my top 3 favorites are these, the Smartwool Classics, and the EL-X. I am also a fan of the old leather lace up Treks.
The KSO EVO is a great minimalist shoe. Excellent ground feel, a little more "style" than most other Vibrams, and durable. My last pair lasted about two years of at least three day's a week wear. And they don't seem to get the stink that many of my older Vibrams seemed to suffer from, even with regular washing!

I like them a lot. The sole is thin and very flexible. They seemed flimsy when I got them but I have not had any complaints about them. I have had them and worn them for almost two months and they are awesome.

Love these! I bought these shoes primarily for gym workouts. They could not be better. Just enough around my feet that I feel supported, but not so much that I lose the sensation of the floor beneath me. Was tempted to buy 45, which I usually wear, but went with the recommendation for size 11 and glad that I did. We'll see how they stand up over time, but for now, I couldn't be happier.

They are great. Feel strange at first. Mainly the toes. But very happy with them other than that. Still getting use to them while working out.
