VibramMen's FiveFingers KSO Trail Hiking Shoe

I love these shoes and I'm sorry I didn't get them sooner. I always felt these shoes were too "hippy" for me but I love what they do for your feet and your toes.Note: they're kind of tricky and annoying to fit each toe in, and the tighter the fit the better they feel.I'm normally a size 13 shoe US... and I ended up fitting the best in size 45 EU. My big toe sticks out alot further than the rest of my toes so going an extra size down for me fit better overall. Really that was the toughest part was just trying different sizes so that all my toes fit comfortablely (and all the way in) each toe.They feel almost like your barefoot. It's wierd at first, your wearing shoes... But they almost feel like heavy duty outdoor socks lol. You feel the ground, and stepping on something sharp still feels sharp .. but it doesn't penitrate the bottom rubber and the fact is it only hurts slightly because my feet are used to giant pillow cushion shoes that keep my feet from feeling anything at all.I recommend wearing them at home around the house at first, start small, wear them here, where them there. . the more you wear them the better they feel and now I wish I could wear them at work lol. But I don't dare because it looks like you're wearing socks lol and anyone who hates feet in general.. (like my boss) won't be a fan of these shoes lolMy feet kept cracking while wearing them, and that's because these shoes are so form fitting that they re-align your whole foot and your toes so it will be a little uncomfortable in some ways at first, thats why you wear them for 20 mins here... 30 mins there... Then an hour... Then half the day .. ect.My feet feel great. The shoes help separate your toes more so it re-aligns everything wear it's all supposed to go. My feet are stronger, and don't ache or hurt as much as they used to.Getting the right size is crucial. I had to try 3 different sizes (47, then 46, then ultimately ended up keeping the 45's for my size 13 foot.Oh, and the more sweaty or damp or your feet are, (like coming home from work then switching shoes) the harder it is to put these shoes on. So make sure your feet and toes are dry so they can slide in more easily.

Bought them for my son in love for Christmas he was so happy their dogs had chewed the last pair up. He’d had them for several years. He just loved them and they fit perfect.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband. He wanted these from 2010 and I final found them. He was surprise and really love them. He said they are comfortable and he wore them the whole day at Christmas.

Had to return the shoes because they were too big. The company claims they were worn, which is completely untrue. They would only give a 50% refund. Will dispute the credit card charge.

I bought these and they were too big. I wore them for a short time and took a short walk to see how they felt. But I ultimately sent them back and reordered the next size down which is a size 45. The 47 is for those with a 12.5-13 size foot which is what I wear in a normal shoe. Even though they were a little big, they did feel good on my feet even though they didn't fit quite right. That is why I gave only 4 stars. The return of these was easy. I went through the return procedure and printed out a label. As soon as I got them packed up and the label printed, which it was a free return, I took it to Staples which is our closest UPS drop-off place and sent it off. The refund was already here in the form of an Amazon gift card which is what I requested because I was just going to order a smaller size anyhow. Overall, the experience was good.

Even though you might suffer ridicule from your peers, just keep wearing them! This pair is lace-up and very comfy.

Love them. Use them all the time whole weight training. Make sure you get them a whole size bigger then what you are though. I'm a 12 and ordered a 13. Enjoy!

They are great! I wear a size twelve shoe and after reading reviews, Iordered the 47's which are for a 12-12.5 shoe size according to the size chart provided. I received the shoes three days after ordering and they were quite big. I returned them and ordered the 46 and they fit nicely. I walk 4 miles each morning on a crushed gravel trail and the Vibram KSO's provide great protection plus a natural feel. I can feel my feet strengthening and my hamstrings and calves get a better stretch. It's great to have the feel of the terrain and not have to worry about sharp stones, roots, broken glass, etc. I've always preferred going barefoot over wearing shoes and now I have the best of both worlds. Four stars because they haven't got enough miles on them to pass the durability test yet.
