Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Sprint Multisport Shoes - Men's:

I loved my first pair of vibram 5 finger shoes and decided to buy a second pair shortly thereafter. With conventional shoes I could not walk far without feeling pain from an old ankle injury, but with these shoes I was pain free. Unfortunately, both shoes had holes in the soles within 4 months of moderate use, so I returned them and upgraded to the more expensive version that has thicker tread on the soles. If you walk on concrete or asphault, skip these and spend the extra money for the thicker vibram soles.

Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Sprint Multisport Shoes - Men's:

These were my first pair of "barefoot" shoes, and I must say I fell in love immediately. They look a little funky but they feel great. It's taken my feet some getting used to moving around in these things. I think I bruised my heels the first time I tried to run in them, but after a month or so that only happens rarely.

The big problem with these shoes, at least with this model, is that they are not very durable. After just under 6 months of casual use, the fabric around my big toes has started to rip. The material is not very thick, and once you get a tear it just keeps spreading. The soles have held up well, but the fabric that holds them to your feet is pretty shoddy. Wait until Vibram upgrades these to a newer model, these are great but you'll be buying a new pair in a few months.

    I love these shoes. Great for road running. I'm not sure how good they would be running any major trails, but as something I can just slip in a bag and use at the gym/running city streets they work great!

          First timer. These feels like barefoot, like you wear nothing aka when you step on rocks, they rocks hurt the palm of your feet :( they look pretty though. Or did I choose the wrong one for camping? I might try other pairs that are thicker. But for sure you can wear these comfortably in your house on your carpet only :(

            This is a great product, my step brother got a pair and told me to try them out, took me a while but I saw the price and figured I might as well try these out. I am in love with them, they took about a week to get used to, but after that I wear them almost everywhere.

            The people complaining about arch support and cushioning are missing the purpose of these shoes. Your feet will become stronger from wearing these, and if you visit vibram's website and read the information they provide it will show you all about these shoes.

            I plan on buying more pairs of these shoes, for hiking and will continue to use these for the gym and everyday use.

              I wear these around casually. They are very comfortable, but it is a shock to run in these after running in traditional running shoes. It places a great deal of strain on the calf muscles, but I have not endured shin splints (a chronic problem) from these.

                  Got these in black 44; shoe gods must have saved them for me. First pair, I'm hooked and looking to buy more. A great value since they seem like they'll last forever. Wore them 10 hours today. Like the open upper; closed upper is making it hard to choose another model. Traction is unmatched. Living in the desert, these are open like sandals but not awkward like flip flops or heavy like secure sandals. So I can walk comfortably and break into a run whenever. My brother lives in KSO's, I don't like the coverage.

                  Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Sprint Multisport Shoes - Men's:

                  When I first heard of these types a while back i knew I wanted a pair, it took a few years, a clearance sale, and a girlfriend seeing them as a early birthday present to get them but I am over all very pleased with them. They take some serious getting used to and a bit of an open mind due to the drastic style and feel difference but once I was used to them I loved them. The only main issue i have with them is the lack of padding when compared to conventional shoes you can easily feel temperatures and terrain differences through your feet so I wouldn't recommend this specific type of the five fingers shoe for off the beaten trails stuff. Great for every day uses and some running. highly light weight and no sweating feet. These shoes are so comfortable that a full day of walking in them and my feet don't hurt at all they actually feel relaxed.

                    They don't offer great arch support, but that's actually the idea. They make your feet do the work they're designed to do, and are comfortable, portable, and durable.

                    Travelling with my gym clothes before was always such a hassle, because the shoes would take up so much space. Now it's not even a concern as these shoes will go anywhere.

                    I have a pair of size 43 KSO multi sports that are a little large. So I orderd a size 42 Sprints when they were on sale. The 42 was way too small, ok I thought, so I returned them for a 43. The 43 was also too small! Whatever... exchange for 44. NOPE! still too small!

                    I had to get a 45 before they fit.

                    Why does a size 43 KSO fit slightly large but a size 45 Sprint fit fine?

                    My recomendation is to not order these online unless you have gone in the store and try them on to find the exact size in the exact style you want first.
