Customer Reviews Vibram FiveFingers Furoshiki

Really comfy, and surprisingly cute. I bought these because I have severe arthritis in my feet, and some times I just need a shoe that is really almost not there. These wrap shoes are perfect. They provide much more protection from the ground than I expected. I can feel what kind of surface I am walking on, but nothing hurts my tender feet. The wrap is really supportive without being tight or binding. They are super light. I wouldn't wear them for long distance walking, but I've worn them around the house, doing errands, and walking a mile with the dog and it's all good. I wear a 41 or 42 and got the medium. As a bonus, they make my feet look small. The packaging states they are machine washable on cold, air dry. Wish they came in a few more colors.

This is an awesome shoe. Here's the real sizing info:XS: 36-37 SM: 38-39 M: 40-41 L: 42-43 XL: 44-45 My longest foot is 10 inches. The L fit me. I exercise (walk, zumba, Tai Chi) in this. I cannot find an athletic shoe than doesn't kill my bunions, but no problem in this shoe. It's like being barefoot (no extra arch support but with a Vibram sole). The shoe wraps around your foot.

Great initially but loosen considerably as you sweat or workout

I have high arches and wide feet and I've been converted to barefoot style (no arch support and thin flexible soles for ground-feel) to solve my chronic knee, hip, and foot pain for 6 years now. This shoe is like wearing an adjustable sock and I wish I had this years ago because it's perfect for adjusting to swelling spreading pregnant feet. For cold weather, just wear thicker socks. First downside is there is no water resistance and it tends to wick moisture in from grass. Second downside is that it's very expensive for how quickly it's wearing down - I have thrown them into the wash a few times. Third downside is there is zero protection for the top of your foot if someone steps on it or something gets knocked over onto your foot. I have two pairs and appreciate them but I'm not sure that I'll be buying anymore unless I get pregnant again and need something besides flipflops for an event.

They fit sort of large, so I bought a medium eventhough I wear a 9.5 regular shoe. I get so many questions about them. They are a great alternative to flip flops or sandals, especially for getting pedicures or massages.

A fun shoe - I get lots of comments and interest in these. Very comfortable. I am one who likes to go barefoot as much as possible, but now live in New England so I have to adjust for the cold. These shoes feel like I am barefoot.

Probably the most comfortable thing I've ever put on my foot... except for my big toe jutting out 1/4" past the end of the shoe. I wear a size 9 in everything, on the mark, so I ordered the medium. It was WAY too small. Now the large is sold out! So I have to wait a while to try a bigger size. Vibrams just fit weird but if you're on the fence between sizes I'd recommend ordering a size up. Unlike with the FiveFingers shoes, I believe it would be OK if there was a smidge of give at the toe end with these.

They are...interesting. Fabric is super soft, and sole is going to feel like regular five fingers. Still on the fence on look; I like different, but once I got them they look way more feminine to be marketed as a unisex product. I like'em though and am definitely keeping them. Good alternative for warm weather when you want more foot coverage (i.e., I hate hitting a bar and have my bare foot accidentally touch a gross floor when I wear flops)

Worn this for about a week. No need to really break this shoe in. Think of it like an outdoor slipper. Wish it came in other colors. On the fence how well it will hold up build wise.

well I thought these were cool- though no support what soever- then my husband said I looked like one of George Washington's shoeless soldiers who feet were wrapped in rags- still think they are cool though-

like wearing socks that cut my circulation at the ankle, so I am returning.

I love the Furoshiki idea as an alternative to wearing five finger shoes everywhere, not just the gym. However, I wear a 12 and the XL size says it goes up to 12 but after wearing them for a few hours the shoes began to hurt my big toe. The shoes were too tight. Perhaps if Vibrams made an XXL version, they'd be more comfortable. I still love my Vibrams Five Finger shoes for workouts.

I’d give this shoe more stars for comfort if it fit me. I wear an 8.5/9 or 39/40. My toes are very long, and spread out wide. My arch and heel are very narrow. In theory the general design of this shoe could fit great since there’s so much stretch. In practice the Medium was a tiny bit long and very sloppy around the arch. I tried the small and the arch and toe width fit great, but the hard part of the sole curls up and the shape was too short, so my big toe press uncomfortably on the front of the shoe. I’m sad, because I’d love a shoe that gave my toes enough room and flexibility to really move, without having to commit to the usual FiveFingers look.

I was hoping these would fit well like my FiveFingers with toes, but they have zero arch support and lots of places for rubbing. Nice concept but needs refining. I have to return them.
