Vibram FiveFingers V-run, Men’s Training Shoes

Probably the best minimalist / barefoot running shoe you can get. Beautiful y made and nice to run in. Enough cushioning to keep your feet from damage on hard surfaces but still with a lightweight barefoot feel.Personally I went 1 size down for these from normal vibrant five fingers size for a nice snug fit as the uppers are quite stretchy and the heel is low.

Assuming that you've already transitioned into barefoot running, these are fantastic shoes, very light and very breathable. I've worn these on everything from tarmac to rocky trails and they grip and inspire confidence. No complaints whatsoever. I wouldn't recommend as your first pair of barefoot shoes though, as they are so light and thin, there are better zero drop options out there to ease you in

I have been running in minimalist shoes for the last five months, so the early aches and pains are now behind me. The first run was a gentle 3.5 miles and the second was 5.1 miles. No problems at all, very comfortable, grip on wet grass/easy trails is good and the shoes are comfortable. Initially a bit fiddly to get on, but once you get the hang of it, it only takes a few seconds more than other more conventional shoes.

I struggle with shoe sizes, im 9 in some 8.5 in others ... my original running shoes are a size 8, i looked on the vibram website size guide and it gives you handy measure tool ... and its a little off i go recommended for a 9 but went with my gut and ordered the 8 which is still a little on the big size, my pinky toe doesnt really fit into the pocket and although its not uncomfortable, i know its happened. I wish i sent it back and tried the lower size!Loving the shoes though, very well made, and shocking yellow designs are lovely, im also enjoying the minimalist running, i wish i could up my distance a bit faster but after trying to go a bit far on my first test run i decided to swallow ego and pride and stick with the lower distances

These are my 3rd pair of vibrams and 2nd pair of the Bikila range. They fit as expected, and are great for running. I love these shoes they have improved my running technique and this in turn has stopped the knee pain when running.I still get the odd look from people who have not seen vibrams before but I quite like that.

I like the idea of Vibrams and these look good, the pain of adapting is unreal and I've already whimped out and gone back to running shoes for now. I would say the toe holes, particularly the small toe is miles off and unless you have the right shaped foot, which according to a lot of vibram message board not many people do, it won't fit properly.

I purchased these for running. I've had constant injuries from running predominantly bad knees, even after trying various running shoes even trying the 'maximal' styles. I tried various things including custom orthotics. I did a lot of research on the subject and was seeing a lot of people extolling the virtues of minimalist shoes and barefoot running. So I thought I'd give these a try after doing my home work. And at the moment I've done a few short runs, I have noticed the lack of knee pain after I adjusted my running style. However I am getting muscle soreness in the calves, which was expected. So for the VFF V RUNS. Highly recommended, just enough thickness to not cause too much discomfort when running over rocks and stones but thin enough to feel the ground. When choosing the size measure your feet and refer to the Vibram website for the fitting table. I find them very comfortable but that depends what your used to. If you buy some just take you time building your mileage.

A litter strange at first. Thought my second pair, having sent my first back because they were too small were also too small. With a little perseverance they are soon comfy. Snug but they are meant to fit like a glover. Will definitely be ordering another pair from amazon.
