Customer Reviews Vibram FiveFingers CVT-Hemp

I've had these shoes for a couple of months and they are more comfortable with each wearing. I am a 7 1/2 in most shoes including Birkenstock, but after measuring my foot I wear a 40 and it's perfect. I have osteoarthritis in my toes and these shoes are absolutely perfect for me. Perhaps because each toe is surrounded and carefully caressed. This is my 3rd pair of Vibrams, in addition to one counterfeit pair. Zappos is an authorized dealer of Vibrams. My other shoes are equally comfortable: Signa, for swimming and kayaking, & Trecksport sandals for walking and summer wear. These hemp shoes are for "dress-up." Now I have to find some for winter.

I ordered both my vibram size and one size larger. I returned my normal size and kept the larger size thinking it was just the toe length and that hemp would become softer and possibly stretch with time. However I wore for an hour and had red blisters on the tops of both of my feet. The toes are a little toe long too but the length of the foot feels right. I think the normal size would have been better but my foot is too tall? I choose half a size smaller and narrower than marked because I don't know how to indicate that the top of the shoe bites into the foot. As to style, I was told it looks like an animal's paw, or if a hobbit were a hipster. Feels like much more support than the Vi-B and Vi-S.

I love Vibram 5-Finger shoes but I've tried some of the new versions and they just don't fit like my old faithful ones that I really need to replace. I was pleasantly surprised when I put these on my feet. They said, "YES!" The first day I was wearing them I forgot I had shoes on...exactly what I want!

I love these shoes! These are the only natural fiber five finger shoes I've found and I'm so glad I found them. The hemp canvas fabric is both soft and stylish. When I ordered them, I was really concerned that they weren't going to fit. I used the size recommendations from zappos and I was amazed when they arrived that they fit perfectly! I haven't had a chance to really wear them yet cause, well, I live in Oregon and it's wet and rainy here right now. I've only tried them on so far and the soles are a bit stiff which is to be expected when they're brand new. So they're not super comfy yet and I have a feeling they will be when I get to wear them a bit.

It is soooo.... hard to return these shoes. There is something about them that is comforting and enjoyable, like a walk on the beach. Unfortunately, my toes and the shape of the toe pockets are like a square peg in a round hole. After about 10 minutes of trying these in the house, I started to feel as if the shoes were a kind of foot torture - I'm thinking of the ancient custom in at least one country of binding girls' feet for aesthetic reasons. If your pinky toe is at all trangular, these probably won't fit you. But if you have normal feel, they could be great!

I love vibrams, I've been wearing them for years & have a good assortment. These are a great addition to my collection for travel, long walks & just chilling! Love the look & material. My pinky toe was tight at first then one week of wear I don't feel like I have shoes on. Big toe fits perfect & all other toes is some extra room. I wear size 9 shoes and 40 in vibrams.

I’m a try size 9 and tried the 8.5-9 size and it was definitely too small so I went to the 9-9.5 and it fits perfectly!

I think I now have a new favorite shoe! These fit perfectly, are super comfy and SO cute! I just need to get them in black! I am a huge Vibram FiveFingers fan and have worn only them exclusively for a couple years now and I don't see that changing any time soon. I'll post a photo soon!

I like them a lot! For five fingers they are not as weird looking as some others. They were right at first then stretched out to be vet comfortable.

This are comfy and nice looking. they run a bit small, I usually wear a 37 but had to get a 38. Zappos made it easy, ordered both sizes and sent the one that didn't fit back.

This is my first ever pair of barefoot shoes. I was afraid I would have to return them because I speak couldn't get my small toes to line up at first. Took me a little while, but once I had them on I didn't take them off again for several hours. I think I'm going to love the shoes.

So I am a long time wearer of Vibram toe shoes. I go by the old school measurement where you had to measure your foot from toe to heal against the wall. I’m natural a 10 to a 10 1/2 in women’s and I wear all the time a 41 in Virbram toes shoes. These fit me perfect in the length but I just didn’t like the bottoms of these. The sole is very thick and I conldnt curl me toes and that’s the best part of toe shoes. I do have a wide foot and even though these are narrow and quite tight for my Flinstone like feet I would have keep them because they were not uncomfortable at all. I’m a big fan of the Vibram Speeds.

I liked these, though I did end up returning them. They’re weird looking but not as bad as some. Nice fabric, nice tan color. These worked with my high arch (high instep), high volume, somewhat wide foot. The toes were tough to get aligned right, and one shoe was a bit tight on my toes; but I’m sure they’d get better with time. Comfortable to walk in, I like being barefoot but hate dirty feet and I have delicate foot skin so I thought these might do the trick. I loved the barefoot feel, my foot moved as though barefoot, but I found it very uncomfortable to have my toes separated by material. I’m sure in time I’d get used to it, but I think I’d like to see the same shoes but styled so my toes aren’t separated but still have room to move as barefoot toes do. I intend to try another pair. Maybe this one pair was just not for me.

just right...they always start a little tight but stretch

I absolutely love these shoes! They literally fit like a glove, and they are comfortable and supportive, yet flexible and breathe well. And they are nice looking. Great service--thanks so much!

Love these!! They are true to size and feel great!!

I am a true 7 with slightly wide feet, and these fit perfectly. There is no arch support, but that is the point of these “barefoot” shoes. 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.

I’m a huge fan of FiveFingers, and most of their shoes are good for me. These shoes are great for casual wear, and have a sole fit for a long walk or stroll through the woods.

I love five finger shoes, wear them ALL the time! I'm always on the lookout for styles that don't look like "athletic" shoes, and these fit the bill. I can wear them and NOT attract attention to my feet constantly. I love the hemp fabric and the little stitching details. Very nice!

Totally love these sneaks. Being a vibram wearer, these fit more snug than the other pairs I have and had to get a size larger. Now they are perfect and love them

I’m a fivefingers wearing gal, and have been in these types of shoes for 12 yrs or so. This is my first attempt at the hemp shoe, and I’m diggin it! Not as stylish as I’d like, but very comfy and fits like a glove. Highly recommended indeed.

I love these shoes! Super cute and very comfy. I thought these were cute in the pictures but really like them much better in person. The other vibrams I own are size 40 and that is what I ordered with this style and they fit great. They are a little snug with the toe socks (not enough to be uncomfortable) but I'm sure that the hemp will stretch as I wear them. I'm usually a 9 in most shoes.

Super cute! But because my toes are not naturally spread apart they are too difficult for me to put on.

They are a little to tight thru the length hurts my heel
