I am a female who wanted to try these over the women's CVT's b/c these had more foot coverage. I wear a size 10 women's and a 41 or 42 (women's) in FF depending on style. I got these in the smallest size available -41 mens. They fit like a glove. I honestly don't see how a man with a size 10 foot could fit in these. I read elsewhere these ran small so I thought I'd try it. They fit great and offer good foot coverage. They don't slip off my heel like I would worry with the less covering women's version. These look like denim and are less frayed looking than some pictures look. I dig 'em and am totally happy with them! They have some Gortex so they do stretch when putting them on. They fit just right when on. If you have long toes you made need to size up. These also do not seem to be any wider than a female's shoe.
I'd also recommend:
these are true to size for a female- I think men would need to size up

I love this shoe! I wore them every day the entire summer. I bought a Men’s 41 which is a 10 in Men’s. Women’s shoes rarely fit me but these fit like a glove. So comfortable and light. The other Men’s shoes from Vibram are big on me but the hemp is a perfect fit!

Great fit. Super light. I’m a half size and went up to the next biggest and it was fine. Not the greatest for non-Roman feet (ie my pinky toe barely reaches and my second toe is a little long.) But definitely not a deal breaker.

This is my third pair of CVT-Hemps. The first pair is ragged, but I still wear them (too comfy to discard). The second pair I screwed up and bout too small, I sent them to my grandson. This third pair fits snug, but that's due to COVID. Weight is dropping off so they'll be fin down the road.
I own seven different styles of 5-Fingers, but the hemps are my daily wear. Like Porsche, there is no substitute.

First a disclaimer...I own six different pairs of 5-fingers and not only love them, but wear them all of the time. I get a lot of stares, but who cares when you are spending your life comfortably barefoot? The CVT-Hemp are just perfect for 'daily' wear. Correct sizing is critical and tricky with Vibrams, but you want them a bit snug. After they wear in (about a week) you can make a plaster cast of your feet with them, they just mold to your feet perfectly, like a second skin.

ththTBe specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

Very happy with these. I've worn Five Fingers since 2012 I think and I was expecting these to be comfortable (as usual) but sketchy on gravel. After exclusively walking on gravel/asphalt the past 2 days I'm honestly surprised. Seems like they've doubled-up on outsole material. Very comfortable on gravel, I can say. Still wary of walking through pinestraw (when a pinestraw needle pokes you in between your toes it's not a happy experience). I'm guessing that's still to be avoided.
Either way, I'm really happy with the amount of outsole on these.
Pro-tip: put them on and soak them with water/get em nice and wet. And just wear em til they dry. Easier way to break-in shoes/boots

Originally ordered size 42, had to exchange for a 44 (my feet have gotten a little fatter since I changed careers to trucking). I've worn Five Fingers since 2012. It's a little weird feeling at first because of the material between your toes, but they're honestly the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned, and I've owned around 6 pairs since 2012. I switch between these and New Balance Minimus, but I like to wear these more just because of the comfort (I went from feeling like the material between my toes feels weird, to loving that these shoes are form-fitted to my feet).
Pro-tip: avoid gravel if you wear these, and avoid walking through a bunch of pinestraw... pointy gravel will remind you of how little cushion these have, and pinestraw will eventually find a way to poke you in between your toes. Other than that, I love em.

I have a few pairs of VFF (Vtrek, Vrun), these are my favorite for daily wear. Fit like a glove.

Great idea, you remember that you are a primate when you wear these though! Sometimes one forgets with all the fancy cultural overlay. Great material, super breathable, soft, extremely comfortable.

This is my 4th pair of this style. These shoes are my warm weather go-to. The fit is perfect and the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. Do you like minimalist shoes, or prefer to go barefoot in a life that requres shoes? Thses are the ones to have.

The shoes seemed a tight fit at first, but after wearing them a while, they stretched into a perfect fit for me. The theme of our company picnic this year is "Sixties Hippies". These shoes will enhance my costume for that "barefoot" look.

I bought these along with 2 other pairs of Vibram Five Fingers all in the size 46. These were the only ones of the 3 pairs to fit comfortably. I really like the style and of these. I work from home and wanted some easy on and off for around the house, these will fit the bill really well I believe.

I read other reviews and went up a full size with the cvt hemps . Glad I did . They are easier than other five fingers to put on. They are comfortable to wear all day and while out and about.

Nice shoes, but yikes - not even close on the size. Recommended 43 size is at least 3 sizes too small.

My 6th or so pair of VFFs, male, 53y.o. I agree with the other review--these run small! I normally wear a 44, returned for 45s, which are just right, not loose at all. A little tight in one of the toes. Other than that, Super comfortable, more lightweight than the KSOs I normally wear, so more if a casual shoe than an athletic shoe.
