Customer Reviews Vibram FiveFingers Kso Evo

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!

Size good

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.

Too big, will try the next size down.

These just took too long to put on and my feet got cold without socks. Decided my feet might not be ideal for this style

I got these to replace my old KSOs and use as boat shoes. Note - The pink color bleeds when wet! I had to wash them once in the sink and twice in the washing machine to get them to the point where I wasn't worried about the color bleeding on someone's boat deck. The grip isn't quite as good running around a slippery boat deck compared to the old KSOs, but still better than a lot of other shoes. I like the new lace system. They fit like the old KSOs. I gave these only 3 stars because they bleed and because the grip isn't quite as good, but I guess the old KSOs set the bar very high on grip. If you aren't running around on really slippery decks, the grip is just fine.

These are comfy but a little too tight. Also felt a little too stiff when I walked, especially in the heel. Returned for a different pair of Vibram's.

Too tight..

It does not have the loop on the heel to help get the shoe on and this shoe is very thin. It is my correct size - same as my first 2 pair, but they squeezed my feet so they were nearly numb.

I have to return these for another up-size. I got 40 (8 1/2-9) instead of my usual 39, and literally can't get them on my feet. They are a full 1/4 inch shorter than any of my other pairs (I have 10 different ones, and these are replacing some I wore out). Why would they do this???

I have been wearing KSO Evos since they came out and five fingers for about 10 years for running and hiking. I rarely take the time to write reviews but I was so dissapointed this time that I thought it was important. On my second run with this pair I got them wet and both the sole and plastic detail (on top of the mesh) started peeling off of both shoes! I have never had this happen before - it does not bode well for the quality of construction. I can only imagine that Vibram might be struggling with manufacturing and quality control during covid. Do not buy this round!

I was expecting a lot more for the cost, substance and quality for starters. I didn't get either one so these are going right back. Shame on you Vibram for charging so much money for a shoe that really isn't a shoe!
