Inspired by classic FiveFingers running shoes, the V-Run Retro adds new Vibram technology to a familiar and appreciated minimalist platform. Lightweight, flexible and super comfortable, the V-Run Retro features a 4mm high performance XS Trek rubber outsole that offers protection and safety with every step. The 2mm foam insole, polyester insole and lightweight minimalist EVA footbed contribute to the overall comfort of the shoe. The nylon mesh upper is soft and comfortable, while the quick lacing system ensures a secure and snug fit on running surfaces such as roads, indoor tracks and treadmills. The V-Run Retro offers runners and cross training athletes a comfortable, snug and minimalist solution for all training needs. Review: Outstanding first barefoot running experience - After reading about the benefits of barefoot natural running I decided to purchase a pair of vibram as I heard that they are the closest shoe to a barefoot running experience. I have received them within two days from ordering. When I put them in my feet it's like I've been wearing them for a lifetime. I did a first run of 6 k to see how they go and it was amazing. Your running style is changing for better. I even wore them without socks and there were no blisters or pain only the uneasiness of getting used to run in them and strengthening the leg for the new running style. I myself wear 42 on adidas and on most of the shoes but after measuring my leg I decided to order a size 7 instead of 8 in it fits perfectly for me. They are extremely lightweight and confortable. Highly recommended for those seeking to implement a more natural running style! Review: Grounded - Bought these in a size 9 unfortunately just a tad too big as the small toe slips out but I persisted with them and I've got used to them now, although a 8 1/2 would have been better I alternate these between jogging and skipping rope and they do hit different muscles to conventional trainers. Go easy with these at first they're a different animal quite deceiving and if you push them you'll feel it the next day. Baby steps literally. Quality is top notch

Great running shoe.
Probably the best minimalist / barefoot running shoe you can get. Beautiful y made and nice to run in. Enough cushioning to keep your feet from damage on hard surfaces but still with a lightweight barefoot feel. Personally I went 1 size down for these from normal vibrant five fingers size for a nice snug fit as the uppers are quite stretchy and the heel is low.

Great product but be careful with the sizes.
I used to run with this type of runners in the past. And the only downside was getting confused about the sizes. overall, the product is great.

Really good service and quality!
I bought one as a present for my partner. First one was too large so I returned it and I had my money back in two days. Second one, one size smaller fitted perfect for him. He is really happy with them and he is wearing all the time. Now time will tell us but at the moment they are really good, good quality and good service!

Well made, comfy, watch the sizing
Well made, very comfortable but be careful of the sizing. I think because they are different (have the toes) they need to fit better than regular shoes so the measurement needs to be more exact. Use the sizing guide in Vibrams website and measure your foot. I'm a size 9 in everything but a size 8 in vibram. Really nice shoe though, well worth the money.

Stop thinking about it and just buy them....
We have been on this planet for 200,000 years and it is only in the last 50 years that we have been wearing trainers with thick padded soles... now tell me again which one is the fad? The human foot is an awesome design and we need little more than something to Keep Stuff Out - these fit the bill perfectly. If you run in them they will improve your running form, strengthen your feet and calves and make you a LOT faster over any or your normal distances.

nice product, not amazing
I like the idea of Vibrams and these look good, the pain of adapting is unreal and I've already whimped out and gone back to running shoes for now. I would say the toe holes, particularly the small toe is miles off and unless you have the right shaped foot, which according to a lot of vibram message board not many people do, it won't fit properly.

Take care of size (UK - 9 ,EU 43)
A great product If you wear UK - 9 order EU 43 No need to consider any other parameter Rest of the sizes you can workout up and down as per the scale It should feel like a second skin
