I usually don’t write reviews, but I was intrigued by Vibram and decided to try them out. Initially, I had some issues with fit, but pairing them with injinji toe socks made them comfortable. It was a bit challenging to put them on at first, but they felt great once I got used to them. When I went for a run, my pace improved significantly, and my stride felt more natural. I ran my fastest mile ever at 9:29. These shoes really made a difference in my running performance. I highly recommend them.

Like many others, I was looking to make the leap with this purchase and I must admit that as a lover of good shoes, I consider special care for my feet very important when open-toed shoes are not an option depending on the terrain. These Fivefingers are simply exceptional! Once you get past the tedious process of putting your feet in them (especially at the beginning I think because they quickly take on your foot shape), the feeling is just extraordinary. An optimized extension of ourselves…

I have owned and worn through 5 pairs of KSO in the past. I decided to get a new pair for the weight room and found the re-launched original KSO in a blackout color scheme for $75. Despite my love for KSO shoes, I found them to be not quite perfect.
I’m really glad I came across a review here stating that these are superior to the KSO in every way. I followed this advice and you should too. I normally wear a 44 in KSO and based on other reviews recommending to size up, I ordered a 46….

As a barefoot runner, I have transitioned from traditional running shoes to minimalist ones. The VFF EL-X has impressed me with its super-thin soles and lace-less design. I tested them on an 8-mile run and found them to be comfortable and supportive, allowing me to maintain good barefoot form. These shoes are great for experienced barefoot or minimalist runners, but require a proper transition period to avoid injury. If you’re looking for ultra-thin soles and a responsive experience, the…

It’s a pity that these are difficult to find now because they are truly amazing. I found that they provide great performance without the typical ankle support of regular shoes. My favorite part is that they are so versatile, you can wear them all day without needing to take them off. They are great for the gym, sauna, swimming, and more. Just remember to clean them regularly to avoid any odors. They are perfect for outdoor activities involving water as they are easy to wash and don’t retain…

A great purchase, I have flat feet and a degenerative disease and I have been wearing these sneakers since I bought them and what I notice is relief and a lot of comfort.

After careful research on the official website and reading numerous reviews (many videos on YouTube), I chose this model, even though it is for men, as I find it more suited to what I was looking for, in addition to being discounted. My main goal is to alleviate the intense pain in the arch of my foot that occurs after about ten kilometers, which I believe is plantar fasciitis. I have also read that when used correctly, they are helpful in improving flat feet and supporting the arch of the…

I bought these shoes for my husband. He already had the same model and needed new ones. They are very comfortable and well-made. They protect against rough terrain but are still very lightweight and thin-soled. This makes the shoes very appealing in the summer as my husband doesn’t wear sandals. He loves them and we will order them again. The fit is as specified.
