These are super cute on my feet and very comfortable.
I wear them around the house, running errands and they were great for my Barre class !

These are some of the most attractive 5fingers I’ve seen....if you aren’t looking you can’t really even notice they are what they are. Vanity aside- they’re great for letting your feet function as your feet and do what God made them to do- carry and support your body. The netting does help allow your feet to breathe, which is nice, but it does mean it’s easier for dirt to get in, so there’s a trade off. The neoprene insole does make my feet sweat, which is annoying, and my toes aren’t long enough to completely fill out each spot, so there’s a little gaping, but it doesn’t affect the wearability of the shoe. I wear a women’s 11/42 and bought a 42- they fit great! love them! planning to make the transition to zero drop/minimalist and Vibram FiveFingers are the best- my dad has worn for over a decade....I’m slow to get on the train.

THey fit beautiful on my left foot. But the stitches on the right foot look very different on the inside of the shoe. It makes it fit tight. My boyfriend checked out the right shoe and noticed that it may be my size shoe but defective built. I love them so much. I exchanged it for a half size bigger; so I’m going to try those and see the difference and hope they fit. If they don’t I might just send those back and exchange for the same exact size but different shoes. Because I think I just got a defective right shoe to start off with. But I’m hoping for the best and I will get the right shoe. I don’t think my first pair is small I think I just got a defective right shoe. But they say you have one foot bigger than the other; so we will see what happens. I’ll give another review after I get my other pair. :)

So lightweight and flexible! These will come in handy on those really hot summer days we get here in the mid-Atlantic.

These FiveFingers are going to be great for those really hot days of summer. I walk 3-5 miles a day in my FiveFingers, and these will do just fine for those extra warm summer days.

They take some getting used to if you've never worn FiveFingers shoes, so start by wearing them for shorter periods. Of FiveFingers' styles, this is the most comfortable I've found. My body feels well-aligned when I wear them--which is all day, most days. I have at least half a dozen friends who also own them and wear them a lot. I can't say that about any other shoe. I've also run them through the washing machine, letting them air-dry.

Have always preferred walking barefoot. Now I have the best of two worlds--barefoot and protected. These are whisper light, yet they feel like a great ballet flat. Granted, I never thought I would fall in love with these "flexible foot gloves," but I fell real hard. These are airy and so very comfy. Barefoot freedom, but so much better--no splinters, dirt, toe constrained pain, bunion pressure, or moist heat. Love these for yoga practice too. I'm a 9.5 M. Size 41 fit perfectly. Not sure I could ever wear "regular" footwear again after wearing this brand and style. First time wearer, lifetime convert.

I love these shoes! I did have to order a size smaller than I usually wear because the fit wasn't correct. But once I got that done, I haven't worn any other pair of shoes! Cute summer pair!

I initially bought these as an alternative to flip flops to hide my runner's black toes. They are really quite comfortable and airy; after I moved to Florida, they were the only shoes I could stand in the dead heat (until I bought the Alitza). Like flip flops, I can wear them all day long, including going grocery shopping. Obviously would not run or go hiking with these on. And I think the Alitza and the Vi-S look dressier for those who dare to wear fivefingers to work.

I love these shoes! They are like going barefoot. They offer protection but not support to my feet.
At first it was tricky putting them on, but soon I could easily slide my feet in.
They are odd looking, so expect some comments!

I have 3 pairs of these shoes in different colors. You have to break into wearing them gradually, but they are sooo comfortable! I wear them around the house and out for walks. You can wash in washer and then drip dry.

I love these! Bought them as pool shoes but wear them all the time at home. I will be ordering other Vibram shoes in the future. Foot measurement and ordering according to the chart is critical. Take the recommendations of others that have tried multiple styles.

I use these as water shoes. I can prance on any surface while dragging the canoe into the sea. I have to brace my legs so I appreciate the grip.
They get sandy and soaked. I just rinse them off, let them air dry and they're good for another session.

Pretty comfortable. However, there is some material that is blocking my little toe from being fully comfortable.

Have only just gotten my shoes, as Zappos does not ship to Australia. However shipping to our American cousins was prompt. Love this style of five fingers (I already have 2 pairs in other styles). Although I've only worn them for a short time, so far, they seem to be very comfortable which is good as I intend wearing them every day.

I bought these for my trip to Belize and they worked out perfectly. I am actually not a fan of the 5 finger shoe because I think they are an eye sore, but I needed something that was lightweight for walking on the beach and any water activities. I actually received a ton of compliments so that made me feel less awkward. Unlike the usual water sock type shoe these do not cover the tops of your feet - that is a plus so there is no crazy tan line. There were a few times after walking on piers that I found large splinters wedged in the grooves so that to me was worth it. I also wore them inside my snorkel fins which was great to prevent the usual rubbing. Also worked great as shower shoes. The beaches on the island are beautiful but often times have a lot of trash and glass on the sand, these shoes made me feel like my feet were protected from that. They need a removable strap if you want to wear them swimming. As snug as they are the minute I got in the water they slipped off. They are a little hard to get on and need some patience. They just do not slip on you have to guide your toes in. It always takes a few tries for me. Two toes always want to jam into one.

These were surprisingly very true to size. Getting my toes into the shoes is taking some effort and I have to put a buffer between the shoe and the bone at the back of my foot (just a sensitivity of mine) but they are breaking in very nicely. I love these shoes! I bought them because I have plantar fasciitis and a doctor told me that walking barefoot would help and recommended this type of barefoot shoe. It's working!

This was my 6th pair of Vibram FiveFinger shoes. I love the comfort and feeling like I am walking bare foot. Normally I like the security of a strap, but I am planning on using these as my wedding shoe.

I got these because I go barefoot all the time and need some foot protection at home and in my barefoot dance class. But do pay attention to the directions that say to work into them gradually. Your feet need time to strengthen in order to take full advantage of the five finger concept and to get used to your toes having dividers between them.

I am absolutely in love with these FiveFingers. I love how they feel, and I love the look. This is my second pair, and I'm getting ready to order my third because I'm afraid the style will be discontinued and I want to make sure I have enough to last me a long time. There is a break-in period if you've never worn FiveFingers, but I've worn them for years, so I wear them all day with no problem whatsoever. Like going barefooted, but better! Just throw them in the washer, I don't dry mine, I let them air dry. Order you a pair, you won't regret it!

LOVE your shoes wish I could advertise for you all everyone love my pair that I have had for 2-3 years I don't have a lot of money so I would like to work for you all. I am in Disaster Relief Team of New Mexico I go all over the USA helping during disasters and everyone loves my shoes. I love them. I see folks from all the states and I could sell them because they all love them. I wish I had a pair of the magenta, as soon as I get my ss check I will complete my order. Love them so very much.

I liked the black so much I bought the magenta and red but am sending them back. The magenta looked dark pinkish on the website but they live up to their name and are quite purple. The red looked orange to me on the website but I figured I'd take a chance since the magenta really are magenta but red is definitely not "red". I'd call them coral.
These are my first pair of FiveFingers so I can't compare the sizes but in this very light weight style there seems to be room for play. I'm wearing both a 40 and a 41 in black as run around shoes and have received lots of compliments on them. They take the place of a little black flat and my toes feel great being separated.

I love these silly little shoes! I have always preferred going barefoot, but it really leaves my feet rough and ugly. These give me the "barefoot" feel and leave my feet clean and soft. They are different and fun. Even my Chiropractor wears them and recommended them. I've ordered another pair in a different style, but I wish they came in more colors. Be aware that size chart gives one measurement, but when ordered, you have something different, e.g. 40 = shoe size 9 and 40 = shoe size 8. Big difference. Would I still recommend these shoes? Absolutely!
