I bought these for my brother to start his Barefoot Journey
I personally have five different pairs of five fingers and I'm going 1 more of the v-trek
they strengthen your muscles and tendons in your feet your calves and even all the way up to your lower back and hips I haven't had any feet or back pain in 2 years since I started wearing Fivefingers
The v-trek in particular is the best of all
in the Fivefingers lineup

These run smaller than the regular KSO's - but look and feel nice... Had to return for larger size.

The fit was great, easy to put on and take off. However, wore holes between the two big toes within 30 days of wearing. I only wore the shoes during exercise, which consists of ~4 mile daily walks in the woods.

As a woman with large feet, I order men's Vibram shoes. There shoes are perfect for me. Fairly warm, better fit, and the most comfortable of any of the men's styles I have purchased thru the years. Wore them all winter and will get another pair this fall. They also are a good winter color without looking exceptionally masculine.

There will be some breakin time but I think these actually fit better than my first pair. Heel collar is a little higher so that will need some getting used to but great shoes.

Good fit and size. I didn't expect to like the laces over the velcro of my fave the old KSOs, but I'm finding they're a decent way to secure the shoe.

These are great with good soles for running. I wanted a little more support and toughness than my last old pair of five fingers. These soles are thicker and more sturdy than KSO. Also higher around ankle. Will use these to run and KSO for gym. Plenty wide and very comfortable.

I wear these when I do my resistance training. They're great for lifting weights because my feet and toes are so in touch with the floor, which promotes better weightlifting form. I've worn them with socks and without -- both work fine because of the anti-microbial insole -- but tend to prefer wearing toe socks with them.

Injini socks go great with FiveFingers shoes

These are the best ever
They stretch to fit your feet
States it's a half a size small
That works out great for me because I have short toes
But I also have extremely wide and board feet my shoe and boot size is a 14 6E
I usually soak them in hot water from the shower in a long bucket using sea salt and baking soda overnight
then wash them in a washing machine using
cold water just using 1oz of tide
and 1oz of Downy April fresh fabric softener
for each pair
i usually wash 4 pairs
and leave 1 pair to use
because they can only be air dried
which can take 1-2 in the summer
and 2-4 days in the winter
In the summer i prop them up
against the window
In the winter put them
a foot away from heat vent
2 years going strong in NYC

Shoe fits as advertised. I did have to remove laces from top eyelet due to shoes are built higher and were rubbing back of my foot. This has helped and Hopefully will get better after a break-in period.

The fit is pretty right on. I think this pair fits better than my last pair. These are mid hi so the higher rub on the heel will take some break-in vs my low heel first pair. These are trail shoes so the sole is a little thicker which I like. Overall great shoes.

errmm..I think the ninjas made them better closing off the last 2-3 smaller toes, and dividing the larger toes. Without the padding and extra rubber on the bottom that most shoes have you can feel what your jogging on easier, which can be bad if you step on the wrong object. But I jogged with them on for 30 mins no problem.

I love these shoes -- my 4th pair. The seams are a bit fragile at the toes, but I beat them up pretty good and the last pair lasted for 2 years. This model seems softer, more flexible with a better fit. Having my whole foot on the ground gives me much better grip and balance for a more enjoyable hiking experience and fewer injuries.

This product is described as D width. It arrives with a label describing it as a feminine style for indoor workouts. I believe it is actually a women’s shoe. It is cute and stylish as a women’s indoor workout shoe. It didn’t work for me. I need an outdoor shoe in D width or wider.

1. Provides no arch support because IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO. Fivefingers are analogous to gloves for feet.
2. My feet are 10½, which Zappos equates to Vibram size 44, but I wear a size 43 in FiveFingerland.
3. I bought the V-Trek to replace the TrekSport Multisport (discontinued), which has a thinner sole than the V-Trek, and no cushioning. I prefer the TrekSport Multisport to the V-Trek, as cushioning mutes the proprioception.

The shoes are swampy after a couple hours. Keeping them as potential water shoes. They are OK with the injinji socks but still. Very niche uses. Might be nice for outdoor yoga or climbing trees as well. I am sure I will find a use for them.

I wear a size 10.5 - 11 in sneakers so I ordered a size 44. My toes would not even go in the toe places they were so large. I also wear a wide shoe so I was worried about my foot being able to fit... no issues there. I'm really confused; I did the research I read the comments but I ended up so far off in size. Did they change how the shoes fit or something? I'm not going to be ordering another pair just because of how insanely off the size chart was, I would have no idea how many sizes to go down. If I had to guess I would say they are 2 to 2 1/2 sizes too large.
Size is not my only complaint here. I also ordered these because the photo showed no laces sitting on top of the shoe which was what I wanted as I was gong to use these for kickboxing but that is not the case, the laces sit on top just like a regular pair of sneakers.
