comment
" ...  Have had three sessions in these shoes. ... This is my fourth version of the Five Fingers. ... I love the feel. ... Grip was an improvement over my well-worn Spyridons.  ...  "

" ...  1) they were a bit more snug than I felt they should be. ... Not uncomfortable, just snug.  ...  "

" ...  They definitely help with my knee pain.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I love these shoes! ... As far as this style of shoe goes, they’re comfortable: no little things poking your ankle or the back rubbing tendon on the back of your ankle.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I bought these to replace my kso's that finally wore out after 8 years. ... I see a lot of people complain about sizing, I wear anywhere from a size 9 to 10.5 in shoes and I have to get extra wide or my feet won't fit, these I got in a size 41 which is supposed to be 8.5 to 9. they are supposed to fit like a rubber glove not a gardening glove if you get what I mean?  ...  "

" ...  (I found the similar Spyridon to be less sticky than an Inov-8, but this was made up for by the close fit and flexibility of the sole.)  ...  "

" ...  3) While rigid, it was very flexible.  ...  "
comment
" ...  For me, a 43 is the right size- which is to say that they're supposed to fit largely like a glove (foot-glove . )  ...  "

comment
" ...  i love these - feel protected in the soles but light (like old spyridons) - fit very snug but nothing worse than LOOSE vibrams so i don't think i could go up a whole size .  ...  "
comment
" ...  Your feet will get stronger, thicker/veins, wider. ... Get foot roller massage ball and rolling pin massager for calves.  ...  "

" ...  Given it’s intended use, this is not necessarily bad but, if you’re looking for the thinnest most flexible VFF, look elsewhere.  ...  "

" ...  I'm nervous about how long they will last.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Having been eyeballing them since I first heard of them oh so many years ago, I finally took the plunge and picked up my first pair of Vibrams after my beloved sandals began falling apart on me in such a way that no amount of stitching and Amazing Goop could keep repaired.  ...  "

comment
" ...  I like the speed lacing on the Ascents better than the regular lacing and Velcro closure on the Trail Runners but both work as they should and the lacing difference would not be a major decision maker for me.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I got these to replace a pair of old Spyridons that I wore holes in.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The shoes fit as expected and the extended rubber protection over the front of the shoes prevents the extra bumps and stress to keep the toes safe.  ...  "

comment
" ...  The Trek Ascent seems to fall apart a lil bit faster when used as a runner (which is understandable since that's not what it says it was designed for) so I'm hoping these will last longer and be more durable.  ...  "
