Review: My first pair - 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. 1 year later I had to order a size larger which was the 8-8.5 option for the best fit. The 7.5-8 size put my toe too close to the end. I needed some space so one size up from my normal size fit best. I have worn these walking rocks and large boulders as a lifeguard. The grip was exactly what I needed. The barefoot aspect gave me agility. They work great in the water and didnt aggravate when walking in them wet after a save. They dried in the sun well enough but I wouldn't call them "quick drying". I prefer wearing toe socks with them (low ankle) for maximum comfort. They are not for gravel or rough terrain with stickers, glass or anything you wouldn't want to step on barefoot. They are not for that kind of use, but they are great for barefoot situations when you need more grip like wearing a strong rubber sock I tripped while climbing over a large rock and hurt my toe as if wearing nothing at all so don't expect protection in these shoes. Just traction. Nothing more.
Review: Best shoes ever made! - Vibram five fingers shoes in general are the best footwear I have ever had the pleasure of wearing. These are another winner by vibram. In general the vffs take some getting used to on different terrains but after a few months, you will never want to go back to regular shoes. I've been wearing various models for 5 years now 99.9 percent of the time and can recommend. Thanks again vibram!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Order a couple sizes; Vibrams differ in sizing model to model.
*by S***M on March 21, 2025*

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?
