Vibram Men's FiveFingers V-Trek Trail Hiking Shoe

After years footing the cost for vivos and their short life span, I decided to pull the trigger on the og and get me some vibrams. I'm 2 weeks in and I love them. They're a bit thicker in the sole than vivos ( I pull the thermal sole out) so that was a bit of a downside at first, but to me the fact the toes are separated and not in a box makes up a lot for the thickness feeling. The first week I did experience some soreness, I'm guessing from the toes being forced out, but by the second week they were amazing and I wear them all day at work on hard surfaces. I haven't had any delam, tearing or stitches come loose, though it's only been 2 weeks, they feel extremely solid. They run a little warmer for me than I typically like but I am used to it by now, and they feel good with socks or without. Could a toe shoe ever be considered stylish? Probably not, but I really do like the look of these and the fact they have laces I believe helps the look not be so aggressive. The grip is extremely good! and world's better than I was used to with vivo. THEY WILL NOT DEFLECT WATER AT ALL. Water gets in them from the dew, walking through the grass in the morning to my truck, so avoid water if thats a pain for you, but they do dry very quickly. I love these and I'm gonna buy more, I think my next pair will be the EL-X knit for the thinner sole.

I'm a 76 year old woman and have been wearing Vibrams for a few months to help with my moderate bunions. I find that men's 41s fit a little better than women's 42s. A little wider in the toe box and easier to get on to my crooked toes. I wear the Vibrams because they hold toes in about the correct place and allow me to use my feet better.I was surprised that thin, flexible soles did NOT make walking or standing less comfortable (even on cement), and feeling every pebble was not a problem. It's like walking barefoot with strong calluses already built up on the soles of your feet. Lack of arch support allows you to use your feet and build your own arch support.I expected this pair to be insulated all around to keep your feet warm in the snow. Not the case. Same thin material in upper. However the soles are thicker and insulated - which gives an unexpected tiny bounce and cushion to each step, while still giving the same feel and flexibility. I like that a lot.I don't like the laces. Too thick and don't slide well through the keepers. I'll be changing them.

Ive been wearing vibram 5 finger toe shoes for the last 15 years every time I go hiking and these are by far the best pair Ive purchased. Very comfortable and versatile to all kinds of terrain. Be careful walking on cement or hard surfaces until your feel get accoustumed to these kinds of shoes though. It’s takes a few hikes for your foot muscles and tendons to adjust. Not to worry though, our ancestors walked barefoot for many millennia before us, your foot will adjust. A word about the fit: vibrams always feel too small when you first put them on, just a slight bit snug, this is normal. As you walk in them they conform to the unique shape of our individual feet after a couple hikes. If you want to speed up this process, after you put them on get them wet for your hike. I like how these ones look, first time ive used laces and I have no complaints, just dont over tighten them. So far Ive gone on 2- 5 mile hikes and they are doing great!

The shoe size was a little larger than my expected measured size, but fits okay when I lace them up tightly. I can fit 1 finger space between the shoe and my heel. I've own 2 fivefingers before this time. I use these for running now and it feels great! I "broke them in" by climbing mt Fuji 3 months ago, a mountain with volcanic rocks. Going up felt pretty good. But going down mt Fuji in the sand and volcanic rocks hurt pretty bad. I have pretty good pain tolerance, but I do remember going down and stepping on rocks in the middle of the sole or hitting my left pinky toe, an injury site from this hike, and I FELT them. I still use these shoes weekly to run on trails and stuff, but would not consider wearing these again for Mt. Fuji.

These are my first Vibram minimal shoes. I previously owned two older minimal shoes that were basically cheap knock-offs. The higher price of the Vibram FiveFingers and derivatives is what prevented me from buying them, but being unable with the quality of the cheaper clones I had for many years, I went ahead and bought the Vibram V-trek. The quality and comfort of the V-trek are much higher, and I find the comfort level much better. With some other minimal shoes, there is an elastic strap that either goes over the top of your foot or around your heel. In both instances, I found these uncomfortable for all-day wear. The V-trek uses more standard shoelaces and so for me, the comfort is much better. I've so far been wearing them for hours at a time and not yet experienced any discomfort. The padding of the shoe, including the rubber sole, is also a bit thicker than on other minimal shoes I've owned. This doesn't seem to affect the feel of the shoe so much as it provides a bit more quality and durability.I've had no issues with the fit. I ordered my usual shoe size, and they fit just fine. Some other reviews have stated you needed to order a size up, but in my case, that wasn't necessary. I do wear these without toe socks, and I suspect if I did, these might become a bit too tight. So I would suggest going with your normal shoe size or one size up dependent on if you plan to wear toe socks or not. 2/6/19 UPDATE: I have since worn these with some toe socks. The fit remains the same, although you naturally do lose some sensory feedback. I still prefer these without socks, however.Normally I wouldn't mention the styling, but one of the V-trek's selling point is they have a bit more "flair" to them. At first glance, they do appear to look just like an ordinary pair of black shoes. A lot of minimal shoes, including some older pairs I've owned, tend to have rather "loud" colors or designs. Other than a yellow sole, the V-trek are a simple black all over. For people who have been turned off to minimal shoes because of their look or just want a slightly more understated design, the V-trek will probably work for you.3/8/19 UPDATE: While the V-trek are easy to clean (either throw them in the wash or just run them under some hot water), they take a long time to dry, longer than some other Vibrams I now own. These are not great options if you are planning on being near water. Consider the V-Aqua instead.

Perfecto compré unos que no me quedaron y los regrese sin usar y los cambie por esos fenomenal

Good product. Been wearing five fingers for many years and have an average lasting of 3 to 4 yrs.

Si tu fais des arts martiaux ou que tu veux améliorer ta base au sol en renforçant ton pied , fonce, c'est tout simplement les meilleurs du marché à tout les niveaux.

Brilliant. Warm. Padded. Super comfortable. Best vibrams I've had yet. Use for general workouts with kettle bells and calisthenics outdoors all year round

The shoes are fantastic. Just as I imagined. Only downside they took a few weeks to arrive. Better shipping times would be great in the future.
