FiveFingers Men's KSO Trainer

I received the shoes much before the due date with a small extra gift which made me happy. The shoes are really comfortable . However their size calculation is not very accurate and I am happy that after going through other reviews I ordered a size bigger than what their calculator was telling me and it fitted perfectly like a sock.

Had these for awhile now, took some getting used to as they say, but now looking at doing my first half marathon in October in these as I've never felt better running! Just a little tip though, check Cuban's website for size guide and do it exactly as they say, I'm normally a 10 and their website said I was an 8, was tempted to go for a 9 but thought better of it and stuck with what they recommended and the 8's were a perfect fit.

DIRTY! SMELLY! Very obviously not brand new and have been worn several times!! Have returned and requested a imidiate replacement! VERY DISAPPOINTED, will be my 8th pair of Vibrams purchased off Amazon and my 3rd pair of KSO EVO’s. I love the product but do not expect to be sold 2nd hand as new! Maybe this ‘try before you buy’ doesn’t work for products like this....

First impressions when I opened the box was that they were far too small... (see the pic) and I had followed the size guide on the Vibram web site ! I thought I'd try them on anyway and I didn't realise how snug they fit... and they fitted perfectly. I'm normally a 10.5 and had bought size 8 so trust the size guide. The first time on they were really annoying, struggling with each toe..... but they get much much easier to get on each time and me feet almost slide straight in now. The next surprise was how really great they are to run in.... I'm a forefoot runner anyway but it's really strange... with these it's like you don't have to think about running and can leave that to your legs.... like they suddenly know what to do ! Only done 1km so far just in case there are after affects but so far so very good !

Light and confortable...excellent for indoors training...Might be a bit too delicate for outside extreme training....Great Christmas ideas if you have a family member into training and exercise. Easy to carry in a small gym bag.

I bought these, after reading a few reviews from around the web, for running. I love them! Started off with relatively small distances - only a mile first time out but the next day I could really feel the difference in my lower legs. They do make you want to run on your toes but maybe that's just me. You do need some confidence to wear them and you WILL get some funny looks but they are comfortable, grippy and feel really well made. GREAT BUY!

Looked nice but sole is too thin. I returned to change size

This is not my first pair. After a few hundred miles I wore the others out. I had flat feet and 10yrs+ of back issues and could not run before I tried barefoot. Takes a while your your body to adapt but stick with it. I run twice a week on tarmac, once for 11+ miles and a shorter run of 6+ miles with no ill effects and my back issues have all but disappeared. May not suit everybody but lets you run in tune with your body the way it is meant to work and not relying on the false aid of the modern over cushioned running shoe. Changed my life significantly for the better.

Le avevo già comprate tanti anni fa durante un viaggio negli USA, in Italia ancora non erano arrivate e ho avuto modo di provarle in negozio con il commesso che mi ha seguito nella scelta. Come taglia di scarpe io porto un 40, ma con queste devo prendere il 41. Mi vanno leggermente lunghe su alcune dita, ma i millimetri in eccesso vengono compensati quando indosso il calzino. Le uso per allenarmi nei circuiti a corpo libero, per fare slackline e balance board e devo dire che mi danno un'ottima sensazione, sembra di essere a piedi nudi, e mi consentono di avere un ottima sensibilità, ma con il vantaggio che il piede rimane coperto e protetto da eventuali tagli/abrasioni.

I bought these just out of curiosity, and when they arrived and I put them on, I was very pleased. Actually I was glad I ordered a slight size bigger because it was pretty tight. Keep that in mind when ordering. I wish it wasn't Winter atm because I would definitely be walking around outside, in the woods, climbing trees and hills with these bad boys! Cool product! Yet, I will never like toe-socks or wear them ever!!!

been trail running and working out in toe shoes for a decade. Love these shoes. Perfect fit!

The vibram five fingers KSO Evo is ultra light with a very flexible, thin yet tough sole. Though it is a training shoe, I've used it for a lot of running through my marathon training season. And yes I ran my first marathon in these shoes

WICHTIG : Die 5Fingers fallen sehr groß aus bzw die Größentabelle auf der Vibram Homepage müssen dringend beachtet werden !!! Ich habe Gröoße 45 und habe mir die 5Fingers in Größe 43 bestellt und erst dann passen diese !!! 2 NUMMERN DIFFERENZ !!!! Anziehen ?! Eigentlicht kein Problem (wie oft beschrieben). Einfach jeden Zeh einzeln (von groß nach klein) in die Taschen buchsieren und fertig ;-) Wenn man aber eine höhere Kontrolle über seine einzelnen Zehen hat und sie spreizen kann, ist es auch möglich den Schuh OHNE jegliches fummeln anzuziehen ;-) Steine/Glas: Die Sohle ist angemessen dick, feinere Steinchen (Kies) spürt man fast nicht und große Steine/Kanten sind zwar spürbar, aber tuen nicht weh ! Durch Scherben (zerbrochene Flasche) laufen kein Problem ! Trotz dieser Sohle hat man ein ausgezeichnetes Feedback über die Gelenkstellung des Fußes und kann somit viel schneller auf unebenheiten reagieren! Flexibilität: Trotz der Sohle enorm flexibel, passt sich sehr genau dem Fuß an und rutscht nicht. Als Umsteiger zu einem Barfußschuh unbedingt beachten: Erst mal nur eine SEHR SEHR kleine Runde laufen, denn durch die "normalen" Schuhe sind unsere Waden nicht an diese Belastung gewöhnt und durch eigene Erfahrung kann ich sagen, dass man schon mal eine Woche lang (!) Muskelkarter haben kann (wenn man es natürlich sehr übertreibt ;) ) Der Laufstil sollte auch umgestellt werden : Erst auf dem Vorderfuß auftreten, dann mit dem ganzen Fuß und abdrücken wieder mit dem Vorderfuß ! Dies ist ungewöhnlich, aber meiner Meinung nach (nach gewisser Trainingszeit) viel "flüssiger" und ökonomischer !!! Ich selber benutze diese Schuhe neben dem Laufen auch zum Parkour. Die Rückmeldung des Fußes ist enorm! Man merkt viel schneller wann der Boden erreicht ist oder ob die Füße bei einer Landung seitlich gekippt sind und am aller wichtigsten: Was genau unter dem Fuß ist, ob die Oberfläche geneigt ist und ich somit meine Kraft anpassen muss oder meinen Körper doch mehr in die andere Richtung neigen muss. Das alles ist bei normalen stark gedämpften Schuhen nicht so schnell und in dem Umfang möglich ! Dadurch kann man die Landung viel besser steuern/abfedern und belastet nicht unnötig seine Gelenke! Für den Alltag ? Sehr zu empfehlen ,vorausgesetzt man ist nicht Schüchtern und hat kein Problem damit aufzufallen ;-) Die Füße ermüden nicht so schnell und somit sind längere Shopping-trips möglich.
