VibramMen's FiveFingers V-Train 2.0 Fitness and Cross Training Shoe

My story:I have bunions, and due to walking a lot these past 3 years, I started developing pain. Decided to try barefoot shoes. Worked wonderfully. If I stick to five-toes-shoes, pain disappears over a couple of days. (Along with ‘Yoga gems”, toe separators worn in the morning while working at my desk.)1. I got the Vibram KSO, they completely fell apart after 3 months. I preferred the ‘feel’ of those shoes, however, after some back and forth, I got a full refund, and instead went with these.2. These have held up great. I’m usually a size 8 - 8.5 if I allow for some space for my bunions. I had to pick between 8 or 9. I went with a 9, and am happy I did. They fit well, easy to put on, and no pressure on my bunion.Very happy with these. No pain from my worst (right-foot) bunion if I wear these consistently. They only factor preventing me from wearing them at all times has been that they get wet right away, not good for my feet. So, I’m ordering a second pair, so they can dry in-between use.Highly recommended.

I upgraded from Fila's Skeletos. I was very happy with the Vibram Trainer. They are very comfortable, and easy to get on. The soles are definitely better. Thicker, but not so think as to be a regular shoe, and have very good traction, and no slots for twigs and small rocks to get in. And 5 Fingers instead of Fila's 4. I expect them to last way longer than the Filas.Unfortunately, about a week after I had them, one of the loops that hold the tightening cord just plain fell off. All the other loops seem to be attached to the shoe properly. But this made the one shoe unwearable.I returned them for a new pair. Got them in a reasonable time. All the loops look solidly attached.I'll give it a week or two to see how these hold up. Giving them a 4 for now.One more thing... I wear a size (US) 10 shoe. As I saw in other reviews, get 1 size higher, so I got 11s.Update: They have held up quite well. I wear them all the time. 5 it is

Remember when you were a little kid and got new shoes - you could run faster and jump higher. Not to be too meladrammaculous, but wearing these peds makes me want to walk toe to heal like the Native Americans did. I actually bought these after moving to the Colorado Rockies. I began hiking with "hiking boots". But I was like a city slicker crashing through the woods. I wanted to be more stealth, more harmonious with nature. So I got a pair of water socks. The sound reduced about 70% (I was onto something). But while walking on boulders they would sometimes roll on my foot sideways - not good! So I upgraded to these. Oh boy, what a difference. These fit my feet literally like gloves - foot gloves. They feel REALLY good and kind of massage each of my toes. These are now my cadillac hikers. But (and there's always a but in the story) they are Not easy to put on. It takes A WHILE to get the nac of separating each of your little piggies into their respective place.The design of this product is ALMOST complete. It needs to have an upper drawstring or elastic band with a lycra topper of a couple inches to seal out the dirt, sand, and twigs from entering. Cause once they drop in, you gots ta take these things off, which is easy, and then the putting back on must be done.

My 13 year old daughter usually wears a size 4 and we ordered a similar pair from the same brand but in a kids size 5 and they were quite a bit too small which was weird so we ordered these in a women’s 7-7.5 and they fit great but just not quite the right shape. The 1st 3 toes are about the same length which isn’t the shape of her foot but she still wears them and loves them.

This company has excellent customer service. If you need assistance; they will be prompt to help and leave you a happy customer.... The size I purchased was to large, my fault. They were well made. Would have been comfy, had I ordered correct size. Will try again in future

Comfortable

If in doubt, size up. My left is size 11 and my right is size 10.5, but size 10.5-11 did not fit comfortably. One size up did.

I love this initially as designed. It has the extra upper structural support and tread for some high impact plyo and agility workouts. Specifically I loved the lacing system. And I Tolerated the strap. Unfortunately for some reason Vibram decided to use these barely sewn on fabric loops to thread the laces system instead of having them go directly through the upper material as they do on the kso and v-alpha laced models. I don’t know why they opted to make that change because it’s has led to the sewn on fabric loops to tear away from the upper section on 2 pairs of these shoes rendering them unwearable. The first pair failed the 3rd time wearing them. And the second pair failed after about 3 dozen workouts. If your looking for laces vibrams try the previously mentioned versions. I love those. But if you are wanting these specifically for the laces system,save your money. The only way I see these lasting is if you barely tighten the laces to ensure zero pressure on the sewn on loops and rely entirely on the strap. I’m past my return window with Amazon. I’ll try to reach out to vibram directly but I’m wondering if I’m out the $90+ I wasted on these.Incidentally I love the kso and v-alphas and their lace systems. And still use both of those pairs.

El zapato es cómodo y resistente, suave, pero en Amazon está habiendo un error en publicaciones. Los tuve q regresar pues me llegó talla 22 que efectivamente es talla 22, y yo solicite 23. No es necesario pedir una talla o dos más como dice en los comentarios. Es amazon q se está equivocando en los anuncios.

I had to get these because I wore through the soles of my previous Vibrams over the course of 1.5 years of trail running in forest/mountain terrain. The fit is snug all around with socks, except that the toes are slightly longer than I need them to be. I might have small toes. Although I was hoping to rebuy the exact same shoes again, these (V-Train 2.0) have turned out to be slightly superior with no regressions to complain about so far.I've been trail running in the new shoes for a few weeks now, I'm going to guess 100 to 200 km or so. They are great in the forest or on textured rubber track, but terrible on asphalt and other perfectly solid smooth surfaces, just like the previous thin-soled toe shoes. They also work as water shoes. So, I would highly recommend them for running and playing on natural surfaces, but I would not recommend them for running on paved city paths, boardwalks or for basketball.I can see that the ruggedness of the shoe has been increased in several ways, but none of that will matter if I wear through the sole as quickly as I did to the previous Vibrams; my previous shoes had no significant damage other than sole wear at the balls of the feet. Having said that, the rubber seems slightly harder in the new shoes, and that feels good.

I have seen many wearing these, I gave them a try, no turning back!

De muy buena calidad con instrucciones para hacer la transición a barefoot.Quizá el dedo meñique está demasiado abierto y es el más complicado de acostumbrar. En mi caso los utilizo para el gimnasio para incorporarlos poco a poco a mis días de pierna (sentadillas y pesos muertos) quizá los movimientos más difíciles son los activos como los desplantesTodos se te estarán viendo como alien por un tiempo ya después se acostumbran, no te harán incrementar tus pesos pero yo los quiero para mejorar la propiocepción en los pies en tales movimientos aunque si me cansan la parte de los metatarsos después de un par de horas
