Comments about Vibram FiveFingers KomodoSport LS Multisport Shoes - Women's:
I rarely bother to take the time to write a review of items I purchase, but these Vibram Five Fingers have turned out to be so amazing that here I am. I am a runner averaging between 20-25 miles a week across a combination of road, trails, and my elliptical machine. I have been plagued with foot and ankle injuries my whole life, mostly from overuse and overpronation. For years, I have been wearing a stability shoe with roll bars to prevent overpronation with little longterm improvement with regard to the pain I continued to experience. No kidding, my new VFFs have literally changed all of that. I did a lot of reading and research before making this purchase, and I couldn't be happier. My transition to their full and exclusive use for my worksouts has been seamless, and I believe this is due, in large part, to the fact that I spend every possible waking moment barefoot, and I always have. If I MUST wear shoes and the weather permits, I am in thin rubber flip flops. I tried to follow recommendations and ease in slowly, but I tend to be an all or nothing gal and on day one, I did an easy and comfortable 3 miles. The next day, I was not sore at all. Within a week, my usual time had improved by about 1:30 per mile, and I was back up to my usual run of 5 to 5.5 miles. It is almost difficult to explain how terrific these shoes feel. Your whole body feels lighter and more energetic, and while you are running, you just FEEL everything - muscles, tendons, joints - working the way they were meant to. For hours after my runs, my legs feel springy and energetic. It is really incredible. One last thought... I carefully read about and researched each pair to decide which model I wanted to try, and then I measured my feet as instructed, and I ordered them online. I am not certain I would have made this purchase had I tried them on in the store because I don't know that I would have stayed in them long enough. For the first 10 or 15 minutes, they felt a bit strange as my toes grew accustomed to their respective sleeves. They felt a bit too firm all over, and something picked a bit in my left heel. But I left them on as I walked around my house, and honestly, hours later they were so comfortable I quite literally forgot I had them on. They now have that level of comfort every time I put them on. Truly amazing!

Comments about Vibram FiveFingers KomodoSport LS Multisport Shoes - Women's:
I bought these shoes mostly for running, around three miles a day, but I also walk and bike in them as well. I was really skeptical about the five fingers and tried on several pairs in the store that I did not like at all before I found these ones. They are really easy to get on and super, super comfortable. I feel like I am wearing a soft glove on my foot. They are definitely the easiest to wear and most comfortable out of several five fingers styles I tried. I have gotton lots of compliments on how cute they are as well. It rains a lot here and an added bonus I've discovered is I can wear them in the rain, and while they do get wet it is hardly noticeable. No wierd squishy-ness or blisters from rubbing. They feel so free compared to traditional running shoes and I would totally recommend them!

I work out five times a week, and often walk outside with my dog. I heard about Vibrams from my cousins, who recently purchased their own pairs and love them. After doing some research, I decided to get a pair of my own.
I've been using them for about two weeks and really like them. My feet are still adjusting to using Vibrams instead of my regular shoes, so I am a little sore after using them, but I expect that to go away soon. I can do my usual workout in them, and while I'm not as short of breath after jogging at my normal pace, my legs feel like they've been pushed much harder.
A few things from other reviews that I cannot stress enough: go into a store and try them on to save yourself the time and hassle of having to order, return and reorder. Even though I had to wait a few extra days (REI didn't have these in the store I went to) it was well worth it. Also, go slow when you first start. Walking (and then running) feels very unusual in these and it takes some getting used to. If you don't go slow, you're likely to end up like my cousin, who put them on and ran, and wound up coming down on her heel (due to running in regular running shoes for years) instead of mid-foot/the ball of her foot, causing her pain. Again, GO SLOW!

I received my VFFs a day ahead of time via USPS. I couldn't be happier!

I teach circuit/boot camp style classes, pilates and yoga. I am now doing it all in Komodo Sports and loving it. I jump speed rope with no leg pain. Hopping, jumping, etc is all honestly easier and lighter feeling now that I have ditched the cross training shoes. I lift heavy weights with a stable platform and really enjoy the feeling of engaging the toes more. I would highly recommend these shoes!

I have the regular Komodo Sports, so I will compare them. The L/S do not have the velcro heel adjustment that the regular ones do, but I like the snug heel cup on the l/s. The lacing system is easy to use, and there is a velcro tab to immobilize the laces after they are adjusted. One thing, when adjusting the laces the impulse is to keep them tight. I found that I needed to loosen them for comfort when walking after adjusting them for what I thought was a nice snug fit. A nice addition to my new vibram five fingers collection :D

We recently moved to a wonderful, eclectic area in the south where outside activities are possible year round. I outfitted my Electra Townie bike with wonderful european baskets ( front and back rack ) to carry my three dachshunds! All of us love these 2 hour evening rides. Typically I bike in flip flops since I hate shoes but occasionally would drop one at a stop sign. I went looking for something barefootish. Finding these was just the ticket. My spine is compromised from failed C fusions and shoes can really torment me. These are a gift. I feel like someone added protection to the soles of my feet. So comfy, grip the bike well and I loved the grocery store today! My toes feel a little strange in the individual sleeves but you can tell you can't get the overall effect without this feature. I recommend a retailer with a good return policy for proper fit and as they are unusual but truly worth trying.

I really love these shoes, and I would give them 5 stars if they didn't SMELL so easily. I have the Bikila LS running shoes as well and they are much less smelly due to an antimicrobial lining. Why, oh why Vibram, have you not provided those for every shoe? If your shoes are designed to be worn without socks, think antimicrobial!

I bought these in hopes to alleviate knee pain from running/jogging. They work. It took me a few weeks to adapt to change, but it was worth it. I wear these every where and get compliments and a lot of people stopping me to ask questions. I am planning to purchase another pair.

I started wearing these to help strengthen my ankles after many sprained ankles. I got my first pair in April and I am now able to play Ultimate Frisbee for 3 hours every week!

So, my feet heavily sweat and I'm currently training to race a 200 lb. concrete canoe. Got these a few weeks back, and love them so much already causing them to wear a bit. After 4-5 wash cycles, decals are starting to come loose. So, they still work great (I wear them while paddling, running, lifting weights, hiking, biking even), and the air flow between the toes (+ easy washability) is great for someone prone to getting fungus and athletes foot in the toe region. However, I would suggest against getting a pair with the cutesy decal things.
If you do plan on heavily wearing these though, make sure to wash them twice a week. Even if you don't sweat too much.
