VibramMen's Five Fingers, KSO EVO Crosstraining

These are the second pair I have - one for inside and garden, and this pair for town, going to the shops, etc.With both pairs, it took a few days to get used to when new. I was a little worried that they were a little too long for the width, but I do have wide feet, so by tightening the lace, and wearing them in, the fit improved. I did try a size smaller size, the length was good but too narrow.I go running a lot, and I now find that my feet feel much better in this type of shoe than anything with a heel to walk around in after the run. I wear this type of shoe everyday. These with the red soles a little less because I'm a little self-conscious of the bright colour. My feet are getting used to uneven, stony roads/lanes, and overall walking feels comfortable.In hot weather, my feet get sweaty so I often put talc/foot powder in them.The first pair, that I have had for over 6 months, is starting to show wear and tear with the sole starting to come away. Some people might be annoyed about this because of the cost but, for me at the moment, the benefit for my feet outweighs the rubber sole problem.

Good luck getting the right size for your Vibrams. I was advised to get a size 6 by the Vibram UK store as I am normally a size 9 in trainers and 6 in Vibrams would be most fitting. Amazon had suggested size 9 which I was told would be way too big. I got these in 6.5 to wear barefoot. They were way too tight and made my feet hurt. I ordered size 8 and they are a little loose when barefoot so I guess you need to try the shoes on first before working out your size. The fit is quite wide - which suits my feet. The shoes are very well made and look like they're will wear for ages. I'm using them just for gym and circuits and they are great for that. I have wondered several times if they would come off during exercises like burpees or jumping jacks but they stayed firmly on, though my feet did move a little inside. I never wanted these silly looking shoes before but trainers didn't give me the feeling I wanted and actual barefoot training was causing skin to blister or just scrape off during exercise. These have done the job of filing that space between barefoot and trainers. Great grip too.

This is comfortable and I use it for gym

I love Vibram five fingers and these were a great looking shoe, I was disappointed that after ordering my size the supplier sent the wrong size. I was sent a size smaller than I ordered so had to return for a refund. I would have reordered again but have no faith in the supplier that 2nd time round I would get the correct size.

These are wonderful shoes. Fit is good look good and they wear well. I only use them in the gym as I bought them for mainly squating and deadlift. They work better then the chucks I used to wear for this purpose.Washed them a few times in washing machine and they look good as new. I sweat a lot but these haven't picked up the smell much. As long as you let them dry out naturally not stuck in your gym bag. I have sensitive skin and I get sores and dry skin on my feet sometimes. These alleviate that problem.

The sole on toes got quickly worn down so much that glaring holes appeared in it! I discovered that when I started to feel sharp pain in my toe. When I took off the shoe I discovered my toe was covered in blood...The shoes did not even last a full season of moderate use (mostly walking and very little running). I would expect better from Vibram and its soles especially considering how expensive those shoes are. Very disappointed. The only good thing I can say is that they were very comfortable and gave a great near barefoot experience. But seriously, such shoddy workmanship is dangerous to people's feet...

I LOVE my vibrams .. they are super comfortable and great fro travelling as the fit easily in a day pack, but sadly the pair inside my box was the worng soze so they had to go back.Delivery was quick & I was refunded promptly, but im now unsure whether to reorder as I have lost faith in the right size coming to me

they smell when wet and my feet have never smelt before and don't smell when I wear sandals, or shoes with socksso prefer using Xero shoes open sandals for running though would prefer something that gave a better feel of the ground. Still nothing like walking or running barefoot but better than big heavy trainers or padded footwear, but the smell when wet stops me wearing them even though I can out them on the washing maching. It's too much hassle
