The major differences between each model of vibram five fingers are the 1 sturdiness and padding of the shoe and 2 whether or not it has laces. I have below my recommendations after trying on most of the models and speaking with Vibram reps:. Your toes and heel should fit into each pocket comfortably and snugly, with your longest toe grazing the end of the toe pocket. Be sure that your toes can extend fully.
The only difference between male and female models is that male models are slightly wider and longer than the female models. If you have wide feet, or narrow feet, vibram five fingers should fit well. Above is a link to a sizing calculator on their site. How it works is you measure the length of your foot from heel to your longest toe on your longest foot in inches.
The calculator will calculate the correct size for you. Ideally, you can go to the store to see what size works best for you. For example, the site lists me as a 41 by my foot length, but I wear a size One of the initial challenges to wearing vibrams is simply putting them on.
The best way to put them on is to lead with your big toe and scrape it against the side that the toe is on. So if you are putting your left foot in, the bend your foot to the right so that your big toe and second toe are about half way in the pockets.
Then start guiding the rest of your toes in the pockets. The vibrams come in a small box with instructions on how to put them on, basic information about the shoe and its technology, along with padding that separate the shoes and keep the form of the shoe. Here are some photos I took:. While vibrams are protected with an anti-microbial structure, bacteria and grime can still accumulate to cause a bad smell. In fact, the smell can get so bad that even people who love vibram five fingers will stop wearing them.
On their website, Vibram has a solid Getting Started Guide. I recommend walking around in them for a few days, wearing them for a few gym workouts. If you are a runner, just use a slow progression to help your feet build up strength and follow this Barefoot Training Running Guide.
It could realistically take you months to properly strengthen your feet for a 10 mile run in vibram five fingers. Do not go for a 5 mile run on your first run because some people have reported literally breaking their feet. So I'm stuck with a shoe that fits okay but is definitely tighter than I like. I've had this problem before, but the very first pairs I bought ten years ago, and another pair I got probably 7 years ago were more true to size and fit me better.
Hopefully, these will stretch over time and be less snug. Zappos Reviewer on November 05, The fit was very small. I do have a larger second toe, but I have never had to go up this much.
Definitely go up a full size. Overall, these are great. Zappos Reviewer from Virginia on November 03, I am a true 7 with slightly wide feet, and these fit perfectly. I also normally have trouble with blisters when breaking in a new pair of shoes, but I was happy and pleasantly surprised that these shoes did not give me any blisters or other issues. Zappos Reviewer on October 30, Zappos Reviewer on October 29, For my previous pair there were some ridges under the big toes front to back that were very uncomfortable at first but eventually got pushed to the side as I broke them in.
They did not have the best traction where I cross the creek on sometimes wet rocks. These offer more protection from rocks than other Vibrams but are less flexible. I don't like the bright yellow parts: black should be black for me. These are the newest model that work well not only for my feet but for my preferred exercise which is walking.
Great fit, good sole, and not too shabby looking. I wear a size Zappos Reviewer on October 21, I wear these when I do my resistance training. They're great for lifting weights because my feet and toes are so in touch with the floor, which promotes better weightlifting form. I've worn them with socks and without -- both work fine because of the anti-microbial insole -- but tend to prefer wearing toe socks with them. Brett from Dallas, Texas on October 21, These shoes are weird on the foot.
My toes were not excited about them at first. I have to think about them and see if they will work. Right now they feel too small.
