VibramWomen's FiveFingers V-Trek Trail Hiking Shoe

I was worried, I brought an extra pair of shoes and socks for a 3.5 mile hike, but I can honestly say these were the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn, I felt like I was barefoot but with extra traction - I loved it! The next day I could feel that I used muscles in my calves and hamstrings that I don’t normally use with regular shoes and I love that! The only drawback was that my feet did get wet, however, they dried very quickly, even with socks (I paired them with Injinji socks) and it didn’t bother me one bit, I just wouldn’t use them in cold weather.

At first, this shoe digs I to the achilles tendon. Based off a customer response, I broke them in using mole skin and socks. They are amazing!! However, I have only had them for 2 months and only wear them for 2 5 hours a week and they are starting to rip. This seller doesn't offer warranty, only 30 day returns or replacents. For the price, they should at least last a year or 2.

I have hammer toe and these shoes keep my toes in place. I have one pair for hiking, one for walking around town and one pair I use as slippers. Also have plantar fasciitis so the Dr Scholl’s inserts fit very well!

These shoes run small. I'm usually a women's 6.5-7, but in these I ended getting 7.5-8 for them to fit comfortably.It's useful to have a little extra space too, because -- I ordered socks to wear with these (so they don't get smelly)- These shoes didn't give me sufficient arch support, and I put in 3/4 inch arch/sole inserts to solve that- The back of the shoes also really dug into my heel, which hurt. Adding the sole insert lifted my heel up and solved this issue- I am a little worried about the material on the top part of the shoe is going to wear quickly because it's such thin material. i.e. even just my toe nail or something rubbing against itOtherwise - I took them out hiking, walked all over rocks - they were really comfortable, had a lot of traction, and provided a lot of foot grip control climbing over things and going up/down inclines. I'm excited to have shoes that are actually the shape of feet.

These are phenomenal shoes. If you're looking for great foot mobility without compromising on sole protection these are a great option. I purchased these in anticipation of a coming hiking trip in Hawai'i. I bought them early and wore them everywhere leading up to the trip to break them in. I purchased a bunch of wool toe socks from Injinji to pair with them since I often get blisters or chafe from any shoe. When the time came for the trip, I wore them for each hiking outing on muddy slippery trails with all sorts of obstacles and they held up phenomenally. I had wonderful traction and foothold awareness and because of that I avoided slipping in many places where my spouse ended up inadvertently playing Twister. Funny enough, they became damaged not from the abuse they took on the hikes, but back home where a seam thread on the side got snagged on a low bramble! It hasn't come apart yet as a result so it looks like it should be a simple home repair with a needle and thread.

Order size 8 could not get in them send back for size 9 to big now stuck with a shoe that is to big

this is my 3rd Vibram five fingers shoes, my 1st pair is KSO very love it, but not friendly if i try to walk with barefeet (not comfortable for normal city walks, but very good for exercising indoors or on grassland - as i've tried to strengthen my bottom of feet by walking/jogging on grass* barefoot). my 2nd pair is another simple KSO with shoe bag for indoor exercises (this support balance and giving more chances to let my bottome of feet to grip hardly (to enhance body/muscle strength). and comes to my 3rd pair of Trek with mega grip which provides more support on arch and feel of bounce when walk or jog. (i'm thinking to transfer to wear Trek shoes for my daily walk from home to office and anywhere i go)But be sure to find size that fit your feet cause it took me few months to return and get right size of shoes world-widely (there's no shop with various selection for Vibram shoes in my location)

Update! The review holds true. But I had to add. I just completed minor shoe repair after third time out. The seam started to let go and unravel. Repair isn’t pretty but hopefully this will be the only one I ever do. And why did I bother? Because they’re still the best shoes ever.I have never been able to find trail shoes or athletic shoes in general, that don’t make my toes numb. Until now. These are fantastic!!!Read the description before you buy- these aren’t meant to be super support, memory foam laden 5lb shoes! They are ultra minimalist which is exactly what i need and wanted. No more stiff clunky boots that don’t let you feel the terrain causing rock kicking, foot dragging misery 20 mintues in. The vibram keeps you from slipping and the ability to spread the toes and have the shoe mold to the rocks keeps you on balance. The fact that they are feather light allows you to enjoy the hike instead of wishing it was over so you could take your boots off.Best shoes ever.
