Customer Reviews Vibram FiveFingers Vi-B

This is about my 9th or 10th pair of Vibram Fivefingers shoes! I just love all of the different styles that I have. The Vi-B is probably my favorite for everyday wear, especially in the summer (I live in Tucson). This style is very comfortable, easy to put on, breathable, and washable (all of my styles are comfortable and washable). They have a thin rubber-like sole that protects my feet from small stones, imperfections in pavement, etc., but that also feels very light and as bendable as my own feet. I have always had flat feet, have had arch pain and also plantar fasciitis, was developing a bunion on one foot, and had to wear orthotics in all of my regular shoes. None of that is a problem any more! I have been wearing exclusively my various unstructured Vibrams for going on two years now, and have donated all of my regular shoes to charity. All foot pain is nonexistent. The bunion has disappeared. I plan to continue wearing my Vibram Fivefingers till I no longer need shoes! Thank you, Vibram, for making these shoes, and thank you, Zappos, for making it so easy to order shoes, and return if necessary!! BTW, a big bonus for me is that all of my Fivefingers shoes provide me with great stability compared to all the other shoe types that I have worn. I am 76 years old and have had surgeries and chemo that made me weak and unstable on my feet. Fivefingers are wonderful because they allow my feet and toes all to work together as Nature intended. I feel very confident now, anywhere I walk??.

After reading reviews saying these run big, I got these in the same size I wear in my KMD sport & Seeya which is a 37. Well, the length is reasonable correct from heel to big toe; however, the other toe pockets are seriously way too long causing the edges of the toe pocket openings to dig into the base of my other toes. For me, The heel cup was also too loose and the width is very narrow compared to the Entradas & Classics. Overall a very uncomfortable shoe for me. I have been wearing VFF's exclusively, for over a year, and have many different pairs and models. I wanted to like this new model as the blue color is gorgeous but sadly I don't and do not recommend them. Maybe if you have super narrow feet and long toes, but hey, that's not me width my average width foot and toes. Pros: Gorgeous new design. Vivid colors that are flattering. Cute matching bag included. Cons: Long toe pockets. Too narrow. Wide Heel that slips.

These are great shoes, love the fit and they are a very cute style BUT there is a WARNING label. If your aren't familiar with California Prop 65---- "THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CHEMICALS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER AND BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM." No Thanks Vibram. You are only one of 2 brands of shoes I like, But I still want to have kids someday!

A fabulous minimalist shoe! I have decidedly wide feet (often causing me to go to men's shoes) and am usually at least a women's size 10.5 but I really wanted this show for its extremely minimal style. I tried the size 42 without any real hope that it would actually work, and when I first put them on they were definitely more tight than I would have liked. They were right on the edge and I almost returned them but I liked them so much and some reviews say they can stretch a bit so I decided to keep them and hope after a few days of walking in them they would be perfect. And it worked! After spending most of the day in them for about 3 days they are now potentially my most favorite shoe. I hardly want to take them off when I get home! Highly recommend.

These are perfect for doing yoga on my patio so that I don't have to put a mat on the concrete. This is the sole purpose that I purchased these for and I'm so glad I did. I love that they are easier to put on than other five finger shoes.

My normal Vibram's are a pair of women's 41 KSO's (which are just a little big) or a pair of women's 41 Sprints (just right). Reading the other review, I bought a size down from my KSO's hoping to have just bit of room in the toes. They fit perfectly. Not having a strap or something across the top of the foot takes some getting used to. They feel like they should fall off, but they don't. And, of course, the wonderfully fast shipping from Zappos deserves a mention. Thanks Zappos!

Love love LOVE these shoes. If you can even call them that. They are more like socks! They make my feet happy.

2nd pair. I usually wear 42 in FF and these fit fine. They are designed to be lower cut but never rubbed me. They are fairly sturdy to walk in all day if you have strong feet. I walked in mine in Florida for hours. FF are about strong feet so if you haven't worn these before your feet may hurt... That's probably more bc of your foot and not the shoe. As far as style.... They are toe shoes. I have 8 different FF and I would struggle to call any cute!! I can't walk in flip flops to save my life so these are for me!

3rd pair of 5 Fingers Different style. Normally I’m a size 7-71/2 but get size 39 in Vibrams. Tried to love this style as much as my others BUT the back of shoe dug into my heel. They used to put a padding that flapped up or tucked inside but perhaps that’s the old model. The material used with the holes felt little bit scratchy and toes were not as comfortable as my old pair.

I asked a question prior to buying the shoe to see if there had been an update on the California prop 65 warning that comes with these shoes since the last review in 2017 that stated that it came with a warning. A customer service agent responded to my question and assured me that they do not come with a warning but long and behold when I receive the item it had said prop 65 California warning tag on the shoe. I will be returning because I too would like to have children someday and be free of one less harmful chemical in or around my body. Like this is directly on my feet! These companies need to do better ?

Perfect, I typically wear a 7 in flats, 7.5 in athletics and the 7 fit like a glove

I am 7.5 and went with 38 (size chart said go 39) and it’s just right. I went with the smaller size since I read the toe sleeves tended to run on the long side. They’re a perfect fit.

Bought to use as water shoes at lake on kayak. Walked along rocks okay, you can feel the rocks underneath, but not in a painful way. Also worked well washing car and doing yard work and going to store and... They were a little weird at first because I have never worn shoes where my toes were separated, but the weirdness went away within a couple of hours.

It's a little tricky to get each toe in the right place, but it does get easier with practice. I'm so happy that I can wear these! My foot is wide. I'm a Birkenstock "Normal" or a wide or double wide in other shoes. I ordered my usual Birkenstock size. The minimal shoeness on the sides seems to be what makes these shoes work.

My normal size is 8.5 and I purchased size 39 and it fits as a glove. Love it. I wear it in the pool.

Wearing FiveFingers has alleviated the symptoms of my Morton's Neuroma. Hurrah! I can walk again without pain. So wanted to try some different styles. These are super cute. They look like a pair of ballet flats at first glance and do not scream out "toe shoes"! There were a couple spots that rubbed at first, but they stretched out within a couple hours. Feel a wee bit narrower than the more traditional FiveFingers, but still comfie for my wide feet.

Instantly my favorite shoe! Unbelievably comfortable. I have an old pair of Vibrams with straps and Velcro for working out, so thought I'd try these to wear in lieu of always wearing flip flops. Much more comfortable and secure than sandals. Same size, 41, fit me perfect in both my style Vibrams. I'm a 9.5 medium width with bunions. These shows don't rub at all. I didn't want to take them off.

Size 41 fit me the same as with the Trek Ascent - in other words, perfect. This is like wearing a sock with a protective sole that keeps my toes straight. It is a Godsend for my second toe which tends to cross over my big toe. I have ordered another pair in black, which I plan to wear at work. The "red" is more of an orange and I will wear that pair at home. I hope this shoe is not being discontinued as I seem to have bought the last pair in both colors. The only other shoe I intend to wear for the rest of my life is the Trek Ascent for hiking!

They are a great introduction to the individual toe style shoes. I would NOT go running in them but they are perfect for casual walking aka an urban hike to your local bar or library. I am using them to build up my collapsed arch. They are incredibly comfortable and the size 41 fit my size 9 feet perfectly. Because they are so airy this product does not have the same foot odor problem the other Vibram Fivefinger shoes have. I would highly recommend these shoes for the casual walker.

This is my new favorite shoe. I have a high instep so ballet slipper type shoes work best for me. I've been wanting minimalist shoes for a while, but I hadn't seen anything quite right. These are a lovely combination of the two! I'll be buying more of these, most likely. I wear them at home, playing with the kids, shopping. I'd like to exercise in them, but I'll have to work up to it. Church is probably the only place I don't wear them.

I really like these flats. I wear them often and find them very comfortable. I have normal arches so these are perfect for me. I just wish there was more of a color selection.

Love these! I'm an 8 and 39 fits. Comfy and feels like being barefoot. I hope they hold up. Price seems high.

I prefer being barefoot or close to it, but my local gym requires close-toed shoes. I hoped VFFs would give me a close to barefoot feel, and the mesh on these made me hopeful they would let my feet breathe and wouldn't develop a stench, but I didn't like the fit when they arrived so I'm sending them back. The fit wasn't horrible, but they weren't wide enough to suit my foot (C/D width), and the sole was rigid enough that it was difficult to splay my toes. When I tried to splay my toes, I had room to move them, but the sole material didn't bend with my toes and instead my pinkie toes pressed against the toe pocket fabric. I spent about half an hour with these shoes on my feet (inside) to see how they felt, and they didn't feel horrible, but my feet immediately felt much less constrained after taking the shoes off. Not the barefoot-like experience I was hoping for. The elastic also uncomfortably dug into my heel at the back. It's possible these problems would have gone away after wearing the shoes for a time, or stretching them out, but I didn't try anything like that. I am a late-20s/early-30s woman who's sortof out of shape and does not have super strong feet. If you don't usually mind shoes these would might be fine, but the "barefoot-like" experience was wanting for me.

This was my first time trying on a Vibram Five Fingers shoe. I love the 5 toes! That felt fun and just what I was looking for. However, the top of the back of the heel did not: it was starting to leave a red mark on the skin even without me walking around on carpet in the house. I guess I may have sensitive skin? Thus: I'll send them back since our feet are all shaped differently and they may work for another. Thank you, Zappos, for your great shipping and return policies. Due to the problem at the back of the heel, I'll give these a 4 star.

I’m usually size 6.5-7. Bought the 7 and it was little too big. My toes are shorter, so they didn’t fit into the toe part of the shoe. Disappointed they didn’t work out bc they’re very cute. Sadly will return
