These are honestly a lot more comfortable than I thought they’d be. It’s just asking some time to get accustomed to running again, but would definitely recommend

These shoes felt and fit great but not even having them two month, the soles got so much wear that one of the shoes formed a hole that goes right through. These shoes were strictly used for exercise. I was able to track the distance traveled while wearing them and checking over my workout tracker m, these shoes lasted for less then 80 miles. That is absolutely absurd. I have never had shoes wear out that quick, at least with that short of distance. You get better mileage per dollar on a gas guzzling vehicle than these shoes. 20$ is max you should pay for this pair due to their lack of durability. Never buying them again absolutely not worth it unless you want a throw away pair

These are super great shoes and comfortable. Well made and great colors. I love five finger shoes and this is all I wear. My feet are in great shape and I have no walking issues since wearing this product for over 10 years. Great product. Worth the money. I’d recommend to friends and family.

My experience: these (i bought the black with lime green) do NOT run the same size as the V-run (non-retro). They are shorter in the toes. I have owned and loved the v-runs in a 42 for over a year now, but in these the 42 was tight-and-short in the toes. Otherwise, they are comfortable shoes and a little "dressier" than the v-runs, with a cloth/canvas material as compared to the silk-glove-like material of the v-run non-retros, i.e. more for around town and less for running in look and material, more of a fall/winter vibram). I also like the bit of extra cushioning under the center of the medial longitudinal arch these have (which my non-retros don't).I returned the 42s and bought 43s which, even though one size larger than my non-retro V-runs, are -- when you hold them up sole-to-sole with the v-runs -- the same length as my v-runs size 42. Lesson learned: all Vibram models are not the same in sizing.A note on the wacky per-color, per-size differential in pricing on these (and a lot of specialty shoes on this site) you may also see: i noticed when first purchasing the 42s that the 43s were about $40 more expensive (same model, same color). I expect Vibram sells its overstock on Am azon(?). However, after returning the 42s and going back to the shoe webpage to consider whether i wanted to invest even more money to get these great shoes in a size that fit, the price of all sizes of this shoe had dropped to the price of the pair i had just returned. Dy nam ic pri cing?

I paid close attention to the other reviews for an accurate size guess and I did well. I am a woman's 8.5 (perfect fit) for a sandal, a womans 10 western boot and a womans 9 in a sneaker because I have a wide foot. I wear a men's 7 (perfect fit) sneaker but have worn a mens 8 wide and snuggled up the laces with an insole inserted.For this experiment with my first pair of toe shoes, the V run retro, I ordered the 7.5-8 option and it fit perfectly in length and width with no room to spare. All of my toes feel comfortable in the shoe except for my big toes which are still growing toenails after losing them during a hiking expedition. It's not the shoes fault that my half grown big toenails are tender when fitted in such a perfect fitting toe shoe. Other than that, they feel perfect. I will wear them around the house to get used to them and when it feels like I can, I will venture out in them. I'm keeping them. I have no intention of returning them and will be interested to see how long their workmanship will last.

I bought a set for my fiancé'. All was good, for the first day. The first pair I bought him went through a week of intermittent wear before a hole appeared on the top of the foot. (not a place known to show wear in any shoe, let alone in the first year.)I returned the pair, and received a new set. All was good. They lasted a month and one day before the inner sole began to separate at the toe from the fabric.This review is a 3 only at his request. I would have merited it far less.At least they lasted more than one week I suppose.These shoes are better than overall sneakers, and my fiancé adores them. He is sad that they don't measure up the way that he remembers. He is beside me ensuring that my review isn't too scathing as he has a love for the company.I for one am not impressed. The shoes are advertised for athletics, and for the price I paid, I would expect them to last longer than my cheap big blue box store tenni's made of foam.

I like Vibram soles and the trail version of the five fingers is great. This pair has already been damaged and is far less resilient than the trail version. But still good shoes.

Sizing is accurate. My last pair from 7+ years ago is a 45(starting feeling a little snug) I wear a 12 my foot measured 11 2/16". I went with a 12-12 1/2(47) leaving room for foot expansion during exercise. I should have gone with the 11 1/2-12(46). 47 is a little big but I can deal with it. Btw I only wear them for gym use not outdoor running.

U-G-L-Y they don’t have an alibi, they’re just ugly; Ugly by Fishbone. If you want a better looking shoe from Vibram, you’re going to have to buy the modern shoes that they have available. I have been buying five fingers since at least 2017 if not before. I’m thinking maybe 2015, 16. Anyway, the sole on this throwback shoes is definitely thicker. You don’t quite get that I don’t have nothing on my feet feel. If you want that, you’re gonna have to get something modern from them. That’s going to be the difference. These will probably last longer, but you won’t get that feel. Other than that they’re just fine. The fabric is a little different than the modern ones. That’s the whole review. I get awesome pedal fell iwith Vibram five fingers. I have a fused ankle. These allow me to exercise that calf with extremely limited range of motion. I think, my calf, it’s not as small as it would be because of these shoes. Anyway, pedal fell in the car is just awesome. I break with my big toe and I accelerate with my big toe. I am going to have to buy some more modern ones, but I’ll keep these ‘cause, what the hell.

Las 5Finger ya las conocía hace años, este nuevo par es continuista prácticamente igual al que compré hace 12 años. Y eso es lo mejor: cuando un producto funciona no hay que cambiarlo.Son ideales para deporte y yo las uso para correr también. Suela fina pero resistente que te protege el pie.El sistema de cierre es muy prácticoSon ideales para iniciarse en el minimalismo y en mi opinión valen lo que cuestanLo malo de las empresas que las venden es que juegan mucho con el precio: en la página de Amazon ves que el precio es de 2000 pesos mexicanos (100 dolares) y resulta que este precio siempre es del número que no usas. Cuando le cambia el número el precio se dispara, por ejemplo a mí me costaron 2800 pesos (140 dolares)Este es el único pero, que no haya un distribuidor serio.Dime si no que marca de zapato pone precios diferentes al mismo modelo, solo por cambiar de numero

FiveFingers sind bei jeder sportlichen Tätigkeit gut, finde ich. Viele Jahre benutze ich die Dinger schon. Traurig ist nur, dass jedesmal wenn ich mir Neue anschaffe, es das Modell das ich hatte, nicht mehr gibt.
