Vibram Men's Five Fingers, V-Alpha Trail Shoe

Unfortunately I had to send them back as I required a bigger size 10.5 Uk but they didn't have, extremely gutted as they were beautifully made. I hope their customer service sees this and contacts me back with a bigger size as I would buy again.

Over the past decade I have worn 4 or 5 types of vibrams. Sizes may differ very slightly, but nevertheless they all fit and were comfortable. The V-Alpha also fit well but this was the first time upon putting it on for the first 2 times, the heel hurts and caused blisters. Never had such experiences with all the other types of vibrams. One thing I do like is the protection of the soles for walking in trails and on foot path. Personally for daily walks, I do prefer the V-Treks more.

I tried a few other brands including the 5 toe stuff and had almost given up on going barefoot. Then a martial artist friend recommended these. It took me 3-6 months to completely convert. I am stronger, my movement is better, I would never go back.

Apenas los estoy probando, la calidad se ve bien.

Que el artículo no me quedo, lo dobolbi lo recogieron y de 2770 pesos del costo solo me regresaron 0.39 PORQUE?

I really wanted to enjoy these shoes, and for the first few months I did. I've always had foot issues so I figured barefoot walking would be a great way to strengthen them. While this may be true, these shoes are straight up low quality for a premium price. I had another pair before that lasted about 3 months, but I'd figure these (made SPECIFICALLY for hiking) would be able to last years. My daily use ended up being about 1-2 hours max, as I use these primarily for my lunch time walk (I got these in early May, for reference). I maybe did 1 or 2 light hikes in these but nothing crazy (all on dirt paths with minimal rocks). This week I noticed a hole forming in one of the toes and ended up getting a nasty cut/blister, even while using socks with these. I ended up taking the shoes off and just walking barefoot the remaining 30 minutes. As these are my second pair of FFS, I'm noticing a trend that these are low quality and I expected WAY more for the price. I envy the people with good things to say, because I truly love the shoes and they have made walking more enjoyable... but if they really expect me to cough up $120 every 4 months then the folks at Vibram are crazy. Quite frankly, I don't know of a higher quality alternative, but I would definitely recommend trying to find a better brand... it's clear they focus more on marketing than product quality in my opinion which is understandable and disappointing.
