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

had to return/exchange

Very disappointed, I was hoping to exchange to a larger size,

but apparently Amazon gives only option to return and no customer service support. ☹️

Also, there are times I'm going to want to wear socks, so these unfortunately had to be returned :( EDIT 4/10/21:  I feel compelled to mention that while I ordered the 9-9.5, the box when received said “9.5-10”, so I’m not exactly sure what is going on with that.

sock

small-size

It was quite small which I found weird so we ordered a 7 women’s in a different style and hopefully it fits.

Run small
I have being wearing Vibrams for several years, this model run small.

size

worn-out

Broke After One Use
First time wearing them at a 6ish mile Spartan Super race was all it took to break the quick lace mechanism on my left shoe.

cycling

walking

Done a decent amount of walking on pavement with them, and do some light trail running in them sometimes.


Pros: - Feels awesome walking on a trail / forest with them - Provide great grip.

hiking

Sturdy, comfortable, long-lasting
I’ve had these for over a year now, and hiked almost two summers in them.

Reduces odor, adds a smidge of padding, and keeps your feet from getting too grittty on hikes.

However I did wear them for a 4 mile hike on sand, rocks and water and even with my heels in bad shape after the other ones, I had no issues with these.

but it was still a better fit than some of the other Vibram styles I tried replacing my KMD’s with.

They really do grip well and still give a nice fit with good ground feel.

This pair was perfectly sewn and the fit was great right out of the gate.

For this pair I ordered the 39 (8-8.5 for women) and it fit great.

waterproof

They didn’t continue to rub the backs of my heals, they were easy to get off and on in the water to clear them out and overall I had zero pain or issues after wearing them for several miles.

The traction on the soles of these shoes are on point - my last two runs were on frost covered asphalt,  frozen and wet leaves, and frost and partial thawed mud and dirt trails.

I would recommend that you order the next 1/2 size larger as they are a little snug on the length, even after breaking them in.

width

They do seem to run snug and narrow, though.

uncomfortable

but the breaking in period is rather uncomfortable.

size larger

length

This was within 6 months and I had only used them on dog walking trails, no big hikes or extraneous activity, which is too bad since they are very comfortable shoes.

Good shoes
Easy to walk and perfect shoes

comfortable

Comfortable quality shoe at an economical price.

Found so comfortable, decided to wear as an every day shoe

Comfortable, reasonably price, and well made.
