Vibram Five Fingers Women's Classic Shoe

As for the fit, it does not fit like regular shoes, but almost like a glove. Once you know your size, you can order online and the size is perfectly accurate. The first time, even in a store, I couldn't figure out what the right size was, and it turned out too small. Even so, it relieved my foot pain almost instantly; only I couldn't wear them more than 6 hours. With the right size, I can wear them forever.The width of the shoe is flexible, so it is not an issue for most people. I have extra-wide feet, hard to find shoes, but no problem with these.As for arch support, they don't exactly have arch support, but they do something better. The sole is somehow constructed that you automatically stand correctly and don't need an arch support.People who are used to wearing tight shoes that squish the toes often find it harder to get used to these shoes, but I have known some who feel it is worth the trouble.

Amazing shoes! So very comfortable! They fit true to size - They are supposed to be snug on your feet. I wear an 8.5-9 and I wear size 41 in most Vibrams. The Classic does require a break-in period. I am not a runner, I wear these at work where I am on my feet 8-10 hours at a time. With that said, the first thing I did was cut the cord. Yes, I did! I don't need it, and I don't like the floppy tag hanging in the back. The best way to break in a pair of Vibram Classic is to invert the heel! This stretches the rubber at the rear of the foot so that there is no pressure on the back of the heel. I inverted them and left them that way for a couple of days. Works like magic! And my feet, knees and back are happy!

I really wanted the Entrada FiveFingers, but those aren't being offered anymore, so I thought this shoe would be the best I could get. I was wrong. These shoes are COMPLETELY different from the Entrada, with much thicker soles, more plastic than fabric, WAY too small toe pockets, and much too hot. I ordered the size I normally wear in Vibrams, a 40, and they were so snug on my feet, I couldn't imagine wearing them for more than 20 minutes without them going numb. They left deep marks on my feet and toes and were so hard to get on and off, I'm surprised anyone could wear them. I don't think ordering two sizes up would have offered me relief.Suffice it to say that I sent them back and am expecting a full refund.

These shoes are the best. I am never going back to regular shoes! I have used these shoes on nature hikes and for long bike rides. My feet feel wonderful. I wear a women's 8.5-9, and I ordered the 40. Perfect fit. I went to try on vibrams at a shoe store before purchasing online, just to be sure of sizing. These were nearly $50 less than the store price. I like that they aren't loud and just seem to blend in. Most people don't realize I'm even wearing "toe shoes" because they kind of look like plain black flats. Plus, they are small and light weight enough to just slip into a medium size purse which makes them great for travel.

shoes were great they just didn't fit.

These are my first pair of five fingers and I absolutely love them! There are instructions to wearing them for good reason. Since the shoes go on like a toes sock, it splays the toes a little. If worn too long starting out, your toes will feel sore, like they had a workout. Not a pleasant feeling. I had also switched to going mostly barefoot before buying these.I have had foot problems for 5 years. When I buy shoes, I buy them with what is best for my foot's comfort and health. I have always been interested in barefoot shoes, and tried a pair of barefoot sandals a while back with little success.With regular shoes, when I step in a hole unexpectedly, I wind up twisting or spraining my ankle. I have a better sense of balance with the five fingers. I can still stumble, but I have found I get my balance back quicker in these. In normal shoes when I walk up a hill, my feet slip and slide in the shoe, in these shoes I use my entire foot to give me stability while walking up a hill. I thought all these years I was clumsy and had bad balance. Turns out it was bad shoes.I have a tilted pelvis, from an old injury, and it affects my gate. My one complaint, which isn't really the shoes fault, is that my right foot has worn down the little bit of rubber on the ball of the shoe in 2 months of daily use. But like I said, that has more to do with my hips and right foot.The only real con of this style of shoe is that they aren't good for jobs where you have to stand for long hours or walk on concrete. But I think they'd be great for office jobs and delivery driver jobs.

2nd pair of Vibrams and these are not the best fashionable they're the best comfortable pair. The straps on the back really helps with running to stay secure without slipping. The toe box fits good, no matter how fat or skinny your toes are. My other pair of Vibrams are a 5.5-6(tight & too snug), these are a 6-6.5 and they fit perfectly!

I have many Vibram styles most in 39 a few 38. Sadly this style doesn't work for me. First order the 39 as comments stated to size up and they were too loose and toes had too much space in front. Just received my 38, so excited...and bummer they are too tight and my big toe hurts with no room on front of the toes....ugh!! .. really like the style and they are comfy. I'm usually a size 7 reg shoes/heels, 7.5/8 in running shoes. Price was great too. BUT If u wear socks than a 39 should be fine. Sadly will return.
