My first ever pair of Vibram Five Fingers and I love them. Cute color, fabric feels comfortable and flexible. Yes it takes some getting used to having so little between the sole of the foot and the ground but now I look forward to using these over my old style padded cushiony sneakers! I believe that my feet are stronger (which is the goal) and I have better balance using these shoes.

I normally wear a size 7.5, I ended up buying a size 9 (Size 40)! What a nightmare it was trying to find the right size for these shoes. I've never purchased a 9.
The shoes are fabulous, however. I feel barefoot, but protected. My feet get a great workout and I can definitely feel all the toes and muscles moving, muscles that have been sleeping for a very long time. I do wear them with socks! I feel if I went barefoot that the rubbing would cause blisters. I let them out to dry after every workout, too. I read about them stinking up.
Overall, I'm in all with these shoes. I never want to wear a standard, no-toed shoe again. It doesn't make sense.

Love the shoes. It took a few minutes to figure out how to put them on, so be patient with yourself, once they are on, they are terrific! I also love ZAPPOS free shipping and free shipping on returns.

Great shoes. Honestly, I just got them but I reallly like them. They were about a full size too small for me (had to buy a 40 and I'm usually a 39). However, one of my friends bought them in her usual size and they fit perfectly.

These are very comfortable though a little thinner then the other brand pair that I have had for years. These are very lightweight and feel as if you are not wearing much at all!

I absolutely love these shoes. They have helped decrease my back pain and helped me to become more active. I am between a size 8 and 9 in US womans sizing and I ordered a 39. They were a bit tight the first day but after I got used to them and they had time to adjust to my feet, they became incredibly comfortable. I wear them all day every day at this point and won't be going back to regular shoes anytime soon.

On size chart foot measured between 38/39 so I ordered the 39 and they fit perfectly. (None of my middle toes are longer & I have wide feet ). There is enough room to wear a thin yoga sock. I also have a very high instep but the fabric "gives" and does not prevent wearability. Patience required to get them on and wore limited time at first.

This is my first pair. They are awesome. I got them last night. I wore them in the gym this morning. No issues, it was like I was barefoot. They are great for lifting. Many compliments given. Now I got them on at home - nothing better.

My 1st pair of this type of shoe. Challenging to put on, getting all your little toes in the right pocket but has gotten a little easier with time. These are very comfortable. Odd though as it does feel close to being barefoot. You can feel rocks etc. I normally wear an 8 and the 40 fit nicely. I'm a new fan and would recommend you give these a try.

Started wearing Vibrams six years ago, and have not regretted the change. I've worn the original KSO, the bikila and the Lontra and they're all great. The color of these are great, and they are comfortable, and it will be great using them when walking anywhere, or when I'm in the gym. I love these shoes and they have been great for me.

I have been wearing Vibrams since they first hit the market, for working out. These, are by far, the best pair I have had. The bottoms are not as slick as the initial ones I owned, so I can use these for running. Anyone looking for the best way to get the feet opened up and back to nature but do to want to go barefoot then invest in a pair of Vibrams.

I am an aquatic physical therapist and was looking for a shoe that would feel like going barefoot, good traction, easy to don other equipment (floatation or drag)without removing shoe, protect skin, easy on and off: After ordering and using the 1st pair, I was so pleased with them that I ordered 2 more!

Again, love these shoes. Bought them at the same time as my Vibram FiveFingers Alitza. Took me a while to get to wearing these as I just took an immediate shining to the Alitzas. When I finally tried these on, I was thrilled that I'd made another great selection. They fit like a glove, easy to get on (I use a shoehorn) and so comfortable that I wore them for a 2 hour walk on the first outing. Definitely would recommend these to anyone.

I've only been wearing these a day, and so far so good. I bought these to use mainly as water shoes but wanted something tough enough to withstand some walking and/or a bike ride to the beach. Regarding fit, these run small. My foot measured exactly 9.5 inches (on 2 different rulers) and I wear a size 8 in 95% of the shoes I own. This should put me easily in a size 39 in the KSOs according to Zappos' size chart and the Vibram chart. After reading a bunch of reviews on several sites saying they run small, I ordered a 39 and a 40 - thanks to Zappos' free shipping and returns I can try on multiple sizes just like at a store. The 40s are perfect, but I wouldn't want them a hair smaller. I have smooshed pinky toes, and I love how these shoes separate them from the next toes. Feels so good. These have zero padding or arch support, which isn't a negative - it's just the type of shoes they are. This is my first pair of Vibram FiveFingers, and I think I may be hooked.

I bought these shoes to workout in because I was having terrible arch pain due to being nearly flat footed. I researched and these shoes get rave reviews for people with low arches. Well true to the reviews these solved all my problems. I was 100% pain free after my first workout in them. These are truly a lifesaver!!

Love this shoe for running. I have normal arches, so this Vibram works very well for me. Fits like a glove and has a great barefoot feel.

Loved them, almost. One shoe fit my foot perfectly. The other not so much. They way that the left shoe was sewn made it so that the shoe had this pulling motion across the toes. Also, my toes got cold while wearing around the house. Made for hot weather only. But them not sure how they would feel on hot asphalt. These shoes are not made to support the arch. They are made so that you feel the ground and your arch learns to support itself.

Had to go up a size when replacing my KSOs from 2006 due to a different shoe sizing (although after more than a decade later of barefoot running my feet are actually smaller since my arches are stronger), though the padded upper and newer lacing style are super comfortable. The fabric is a little less soft, the right fit is crucial for the best effect. I couldn't be more pleased with the endurance of these Five Fingers!

I lived exclusively in Vibram shoes until I moved somewhere with harsher winters. Now I rotate in a barefoot Merrell shoe that accommodates socks a little better. This was a very comfortable and flexible shoe. I ordered my normal Vibram size and the size up due to reviews. My normal size felt way too tight so I sent them back. After breaking in the one size up, I wished that I had stuck with my usual size. I wore these hiking and as my everyday shoes. They got holes between the toes much faster than my previous Vibrams and I also wore out the soles faster. I do not think these are intended for such intense use. I will be returning to my favorites - the KomodoSport in Blue/Yellow/Grey.

The jury is still out on these. I usually wear a 40 or 41 in Virbram depending on the style however this is the first time I could barely get my foot in a size 40. Was able to get my foot into the size 41 however then I felt like my toes were being strangled (the part where the toe meets the foot). Now that was a super strange feeling especially since I don't have particularly fat toes. Oh, if you have super flat feet I don't think is shoe is right for you. I have a really hight arch so "no arch support" doesn't bother me. I've been walking around the house trying to decide if I'm going to keep these KSO EVO's however if I do keep them I'll never buy them again.

The ties were different lengths, so one foot is tighter than the other. The image of the toe shape is inaccurate. The second toe next to your big toe is really really long and the pinky toe is set extremely far back. They're more plastic than other vibram's i've had which had a nice rubber sole. These feel like plastic sole with a recycled plastic fabric.
