Vibram Men's V Running Shoes

Product Information

When Ryan started exercising in Vibram FiveFingers, the appeal was instant. It felt like a return to nature and natural posture.

It sounds like these shoes are too big for you. It’s up to your preference, but I think extra shoe at the end of your toes detracts from the barefoot feel. I like the end of my toes to be very close or touching the toe guard. Based on your measurements, I would go one size smaller and get the 46. I did not factor in foot swelling during the marathon. I did have some blistering at the end of my second big toes, however, I still wouldn’t get the size up just because I prefer a snug shoe. We felt lighter and more balanced than ever. We breezed over the top of Mount Washington (the fourth highest peak on the Appalachian Trail) and the surrounding presidential mountains.Each week, increase the length of your workouts in Vibram FiveFingers, but no more than 10% from the previous week. Continue to use them every other day. Week 13 & Onward

Vibrams Primary Design Function For The V-Run Is For All Types Of Running And In Particular Road Running And Gym/Treadmill. The Special Vibram Compounds In The Sole Offer Endurance Grip And Comfort. The Upper Has A Secure Speed Lace Fastening System And Breathable And Lightweight Upper. Can Be Worn In Full Replacement Of A Conventional Trainer Or As Part Of, For Example A Strength And Conditioning Training Program.

Wear them for short sessions during daily walking activities such as grocery shopping or moving around the house or office. Weeks 3-4 I think you need to get a couple pairs of shoes for different occasions. The KSOs (or V-Trains if those end up working) are great for warm weather. If it rains, your feet will get wet. There isn’t a pair of VFFs that is good for wet conditions and I don’t recommend the V-NEOPS (your feet will sweat). You only need two pairs of shoes to cover all your needs. The KSOs is the first. They are good for everything except the rain and cold. For those conditions, I recommend hiking boots with a waterproof liner and a Vibram sole. I like the Merrell and Lowa boots.

Just like how wearing helmets spur football players to hit each other harder (yes, this is scientifically proven), wearing shoes with cushioned soles encourage runners to stomp down on the ground harder. There are a lot of shoes that we don’t highly recommend, either for performance, fit, or durability reasons. Additionally, the shoes that we do highly recommend, are not ideal for certain activities.

Confirm your age

After reading through all your information and questions, I ended up digging out all of our FiveFingers shoes (now pictured in the article) to analyze the toes. Here is what I found and these are my best answers to your questions.
