Customer Reviews Vibram FiveFingers Alitza Loop

I bought these to wear in yoga and NIA classes and I think they'd be fine for that purpose. Trouble is, I had bunion surgery and the "fingers" hurt my sensitive toes.

Although the 39 is suppose to be a size 7, it is too big. I should have stayed with my usual size of 38. I will order a size down because it is a very cute sandal.

These shoes really feel as if you are just wearing thin slippers - which was what I was looking for, but they seem to run large. I may have been able to order a full size smaller to have a snug fit, but decided that I would like a little thicker sole and will be trying another style. The green is a beautiful mint green and the pink is very vibrant.

I bought these shoes to wear to work with long skirt or long pants, NOT for yoga etc. Initially I was skeptical; they had seemed flimsy underneath my feet. But they were surprisingly comfortable and I wore them almost an entire day right out of the box. [I don't recommend someone who is a novice to fivefinger shoes doing that on the first day; need to ease into the concept.)

I have over 50 pairs of Vibram 5 fingers, including the old style of this shoe. I like this newer style, however, because I have such a huge arch in my foot, which makes my upper part of my foot higher than most, I found the straps to be cutting into my foot after a few hours. That has not bearing on the design, as the new design if far better than the old.

For reference, my standard shoe size is a true 9D. I'm a longtime FiveFingers wearer - had the original leather Trek in a 41 for hiking and wore them out. I now have KMD Sport, also in a 41. I bought the Alitza Loop to wear in my studio while standing all day, but they give me toe cramps after about five hours. They were also a bit snug so I sized up to a 42 in them and that seems closer to my size. I like them okay, but am still looking for an all day comfortable shoe.

They are cute but very flimsy. The material is thin and not the quality I expect from Vibram. This would be my third pair of five finger shoes, and I love them, but this one is just too cheaply made.

I absolutely love these shoes, and they are my third pair of Vibrams. However, I bought them in August of last year and I just noticed a huge hole in the sole of one of them! My previous pair lasted five years with no holes or issues. I am so bummed out because this is my favorite pair of shoes, and I only wear them for walking. I am not sure why they developed a hole so quickly.
