The right shoe is already coming apart and I have only had them for coming up on 2 weeks now. I wear them to work and around the house. That being said, I think I need a size bigger. That would be why my wide foot is busting the side already. I will buy a size larger when I get the money and then give a full review. Again, LOVE the shoes. Left one fits almost perfect. Right one was too tight. Ok. I can give a better review now that I have had these shoes for 2 months. Still absolutely love these shoes. However, I would suggest inspecting the shoes after you wear them. I work in an office so I am not an active person. Had no clue that there was a big hole in the inside of my right big toe. I have never had a shoe wear out so fast. Again, I sit down for a living. Both shoes are doing the same thing. That's all I can really say. Review: Really great shoes, when they fit. Before you let that dissuade you, there are some things I need to point out... - Firstly: I have unusually wide, thick feet, so most shoes don't fit right anyway. If you can comfortably wear a generic pair of shoes, these should fit very well. Secondly: I do not run, so I cannot say how well they work in that regard. I use them as daily shoes for walking and biking. Thirdly: These did not fit quite right, and I knew this when I bought them. But I came up with an easy fix that does not require modifying the shoes themselves. See SOLUTION TO EXCESS LENGTH below. When looking for a replacement pair of toe-shoes, the only variety I could find locally were thick and heavy (defeating the point of toe-shoes, personally), but it gave me an idea of the size I would need (43 was the narrowest I could fit). My previous pair of toe-shoes were only 3.5 millimeters thick, and these are at most 5 millimeters thick. I like the thin soles because they allow my feet to conform to the ground I'm walking on while protecting me from sharp rocks, wood slivers and broken glass. SOLUTION TO EXCESS LENGTH Addressing the fact that the shoes were technically a size too large, I bought a pair of thick insoles (cheap, generic Walmart foam arch supports, about $6), stood them upright in the back of the shoes, marked the highest point, then drew out a half-circle with a tea cup and proceeded to cut (scissors worked best, razors were hard to control while cutting a curved line). This created two "shims" that fill out the extra space, pushing my toes comfortably into the front of the shoe. I beveled the edges to the best of my ability and blackened the foam with a permanent marker. Putting on the shoes requires first putting a shim into the heel, folding that down, tucking my toes into the forward half of the shoe, then lifting the heel into place. Repeat for next foot. Takes about 10-20 seconds apiece after a few adjustments and a little practice. ## Features - LIGHTWEIGHT & BREATHABLE MESH: Features an airy polyester mesh upper designed for maximum ventilation. This lightweight construction allows for consistent airflow during high-intensity training, gym sessions, and functional fitness activities. - MINIMALIST 3MM OUTSOLE: Engineered with a thin 3mm rubber outsole designed to provide a close-to-the-surface feel. This low-profile, flexible construction offers a lightweight alternative to traditional sneakers for agility drills and movement-based training. - VIBRAM XS TREK ZIG-ZAG TREAD: Equipped with the technical XS Trek compound featuring a specialized zig-zag tread pattern. This design is engineered to provide reliable, multi-directional traction on gym floors, court surfaces, and light outdoor trails. - ZERO-DROP & INDIVIDUAL TOE POCKETS: Built with a flat, zero-height profile from heel to forefoot and signature individual toe pockets. This specific geometry follows the physical shape of the foot, allowing for independent toe separation within the shoe. - SPEED-LACE CLOSURE SYSTEM: Features an easy-to-use speed-lace system and a padded tongue for a secure, adjustable fit. This functional design provides a snug, locked-in feel that stays in place during lateral movements and active gym use. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DYXM4DQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #109,866 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #55 in Men's Cross-Training Shoes | | Brand | Vibram | | Closure Type | Hook & Loop | | Color | Black | | Cushioning Level | Minimal | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 952 Reviews | | Fabric type | Mesh | | Fit to Size Sentiment | true | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00847100041652 | | Has Shoe Adjustability | Yes | | Heel Type | No Heel | | Insole Cushioning | EVA foam | | Insole Material | Ethylene Vinyl Acetate | | Item Type Name | Sneaker | | Item Weight | 1.2 Pounds | | Lace Closure | Plastic aglets | | Lace Ends | Plastic | | Manufacturer | Vibram Fivefingers | | Manufacturer Part Number | 14M0701_Black | | Material Fabric | Polyester | | Model Name | Kso Evo | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion Lifestyle | Casual | | Occasion Type | New Year | | Origin | Imported | | Outer Material | Mesh | | Outer material | Mesh | | Pattern | Solid | | Seasons | Fall | | Shoe Height Map | Low Top | | Shoe Type | Athletic Shoe | | Sole Material | Rubber | | Sole material | Rubber | | Special Features | Lightweight, Washable | | Specific Uses For Product | Sports | | Sport Type | Running | | Stitching Style | Edge stitch or overlock stitch | | Strap Type | Adjustable | | Style Name | Kso Evo | | Style Number | 14M0701 | | Theme | Training Minimalist Design Vibram Men's Shoes | | Toe Style | Round Toe | | UPC | 847100041652 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | lining-description | Unlined | ## Images ![Vibram Men's FiveFingers KSO EVO | Barefoot Cross-Training Shoe for Balance and Stability - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NasaPjoaL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are the men's shoes wider than the women's? tried a size up in the women's, but they were still to tight around the largest part of my foot, and at th** A: Thank you for your inquiry. If you order the same European numerical size in men's or women's Vibrams, the men's shoe will be wider. I hope this answers your question. **Q: Is the 9.5 US the same as the EU 42 version?** A: I checked the Vibram site and if you're a 9 to 9.5, you go with 41. 9.5 to 10, is a size 42. **Q: I wear a 42 in the order Vibram fivefingers what size should I get now?** A: Look at the chart that amazon provides when ordering and it will convert the size for you **Q: Can these be worn inside of shoes?** A: They are meant to be worn by their self as they are a shoe with a sole and everything, but if you can get it to fit inside a shoe and you are comfortable with that, i don't see why not. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love the shoes. *by S***R on September 8, 2022* I am giving this a 5 star because I love the shoes.

One pair is one size too small. I can wear them but not for extended lengths of time. Maybe 2 hours tops. I wore them last week to a beach in Monterey to climb on some tide pools and they were fine but after an hour and a half or so, I had to take them off. Getting the right fit is essential. My other pair I don't care for. I really like the KSO design and the 2nd pair doesn't have the top part of the shoe. I tend to get sun burns on the top of my foot so i don't wear those very often. This new pair however fits beautifully. I measured my foot and added 1/4" onto the measurement and that was the perfect size. The quick lace on top works great and has a bit of velcro so the pull cord doesn't flop around. The sole of the shoe looks great. It looks to have great grip and from what i've done so far, its quite flexible. All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vibram FiveFingers Men's KSO EVO Cross Training Shoe - Vibram Men's FiveFingers V-Run Retro - Vibram Men's FiveFingers V-Train 2.0 Fitness and Cross Training Shoe --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1415395-vibram-mens-fivefingers-kso-evo-barefoot-cross-training-shoe-balance](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1415395-vibram-mens-fivefingers-kso-evo-barefoot-cross-training-shoe-balance) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
