Review: If your feet are painful from regular shoes, do yourself a favor and try a pair of these. - Let me start out by saying, I have in no way been compensated to give this review. It may feel like it by the time you get to the end, but it is my own 100% candid opinion. I've been wearing my Vibram V-Alpha Hiking Shoes for a week now. I feel qualified to talk fit and function. First, let me give you a short back story: I have had an increasingly difficult time finding shoes that, at least, don't torture my feet. I've been angry at the sadists that design shoes for many decades. No matter how soft the shoes are to walk in, they all squeeze the big toe and the 2 smallest toes into a rounded point. The 2 longest toes were always standing on the 2 smallest which had turned sideways to try to accomodate the shoes. Turning sideways also meant they tried to contribute to my balance by pushing on the ground sideways, rather than down as they are designed to do. It eventually got to the point that my feet ached and burned even when I was barefoot. I broke my smallest toe on the left foot about 3 months ago. In trying to find a comfortable way to deal with it, I found that putting cotton between the broken toe and the one next to it when taped together gave me a measure of comfort. I looked for toe socks because the cotton balls kept moving away, causing the broken toe to rub on its neighbor. I've been wearing toe socks ever since. While searching for more pairs of toe socks, the Vibram V-Alphas turned up. I was intrigued, thinking if the socks were comfortable, the shoes should be at least as comfortable. I ordered a pair. I wear a size 10 in normal shoes so I ordered in size 10.5 to 11 because the page says they run a bit small. The pair was too small pressing my 5 of my toes against the inner end of the toe in the shoe. I could see the quality of the construction so I ordered another pair (from AreaTrends) the next size up (11-11.5). The fit of this pair was ideal. I sent the smaller pair back. The seller was very good about it. I realize now that I hadn't measured my feet in a long time. Following the size chart in the detailed section (the section written by Vibram), I find that had I measured the length of my left foot (heel to the longest toe), I'd have chosed the correct fit the first time. These shoes are incredible! For the first time in so long that I can't remember my feet don't hurt in shoes! My poor abused smaller toes have there own space to protect them from their mean older brothers. In fact, they are more comfortable inside these shoes than barefoot! The info section of the page suggests that some people could have a hard time adjusting. I was fortunate, since I was spending as much time as possible barefoot already, no adjustment period was necessary. Now that I've been wearing them for a week, I'm finding my smaller toes are getting stronger and turning back upright. They are starting to press down to set my balance, instead of sideways. I never thought my feet would be pain free again, yet they are now. I really wish I'd have found these a long time ago. It is a shame that they aren't available in shoe stores. It sure would make getting the correct sizing easier. ;) I will never again wear stylish shoes. I will be buying more of these shoes in different styles since they are the only shoe I'll ever put my feet in again. When winter gets here, Vibram also make an insulated shoe. Thank you AreaTrends and Vibram for making my feet very, very happy!
Review: The best ever! - Best running shoe of all time! Super grippy even on wet surfaces. Incredible feel and flexibility. Incredible upper durability. You can wash them weekly in the washer with hot water without them falling apart. I pour a bit of borax into each shoe, add Sprouts enzyme powder and use regular detergent (Tide Free & Clear). I also make sure to mash down the velcro securely before washing them so that the velcro doesn't come loose. Also wash them separately from clothes. You can dry them with clothes if again you're careful to make sure the velcro is secured. Otherwise the velcro will attach to your clothes and damage them during the dry cycle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best shoe I’ve ever owned
*by C***E on December 27, 2025*

I absolutely love these shoes. I had a foot injury years ago that resulted in plantar fasciitis that greatly affected my walking. Since having these, my feet have gotten stronger, my toes have more flexibility, and walking is no longer painful.
