Like shoes and socks
I love them my toes love them my back loves them. This rubber is super thick I mean super and no matter what I step on I don’t have to worry about it anymore. I have a neurological condition and I have epilepsy/seizures and usually crash into things on accident or whatever. The slip resistance helps me not eat it on my face and embarrass myself. The quality is great I have gone in the water and all over even driving and they are a must have! Now the only thing that almost made me not but them was the price but after wearing them everywhere for a while man I get all the value for my money with these 😂 they just are not your kuru sandal it takes some getting used to because they help with training like foot strengthening. I love that they are helping me with my bunions too so bonus points. Value the value !! I will be buying another backup pair for sure 👍

Order a couple sizes; Vibrams differ in sizing model to model.
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.

Not worth it, wear out SUPER quick
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

Best shoes I’ve ever owned literally
These are absolutely the best shoes I’ve ever owned and have become my daily shoes. I love trail running, but I typically do that barefoot, so these allow me to work the same muscles all throughout the day and at work. I put off trying them for a long time because I was put off by the price, but it’s absolutely worth it. They make you walk in a toe/ball-of-the-foot-first way it feels super natural. It forces you to stand up straighter and engage your core. Spreading out my toes while I walk around work makes me feel much more stable, especially well lifting moderate amounts of weight in the course of my workday. The grip is amazing. The fit is excellent, but it’s highly specific. I would highly recommend buying a few sizes around your typical size to make sure you get the exact fit as the fit being just a little bit off makes for an awkward walking experience.

5 finger shoes are great
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.
