  • you really love these shoes, sold me

  • THOSE SPEEDS ARE FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!

  • i love your cat, it looks just like mine!:)

  • do they have black?

  • guys our shoes come with a year guarantee! It's always is better to try them on to get the feeling as even though our feet are same and it's just the sizes each foot remains unique.

  • ahahaahahaha

    How funny is the reaction of some people. I'm currently working for Vibram 5 Fingers in the UK and I can tell you with no doubts these shoes are great. Thanks for promotion ;) By the way for those who haven't open their mind yet there are socks with a pocket for each of your toe and they were invented a long time ago. Also you don't really have to wear socks with Vibram5Fingers :)

  • Those shoes r for peoplewho r dirt!! like how da fuck do you where sox???

  • @jtu539 Simple my friend, toe socks!

  • yeah I learned to take the sticker out with my first pair of KSOs

  • Are they paying u for this?

  • The sticker is to tell you what materials the shoe is made from

  • my dog chewed my laces off on my komodosport ls do you know of anything i can do

  • what size are you normally? im trying to find the right size to buy. the nearest retailer where i am to buy them is over an hour away for me to try them on and find a size that fits me. im size 11 in canada and size 10 in the uk. i think a size 42 kso would be my correct size, but im still unsure whether to purchase them online or not. can you give me some assurance?

  • uhm eerrrr... don't you WEAR sOcks with them....O.o i know they have socks for those thus not to stink up your feet :s

  • Will these still be good for running? As in light trail and roadrunning?

  • where i can buy it?

  • I'm thinking about picking these up as my first pair of Vibrams. Although I realize they aren't designed for water, they would work just fine, right?

  • I just got those today!! I got them in blue and I love them!!

  • so you own probably more than 2 vibrums. which do you say is better for sports (kickings, footwork etc). it does look cool but i encountered someone wearing this casual and i thought it was horrendous - probably because its new/ strange - i think others would think the same (i want to buy one but i probably wait a few more years before i wear it casually and after i know Which one to buy.)

  • I run with these. Awesome shoes.

  • I wouldn't walk next to someone wearing that thing for "casual" purposes.

  • @Frankiefiorenza ahahahahahaha poor you

  • The damned ugliest things you could put on your feet. I feel this overwhelming compulsion to deck every nerd who wears one at my gym. Thank God for my impulse control.

  • @SupositoryRepository Dear muscle head douche bag... Running barefoot is actually better for you then running in shoes. These shows allow you to run barefoot without running barefoot. Fuck you and have a nice day. BTW I'm a nerd and I would fuck you up :)

  • @MGSpencer2991 actually it's not, i torn the cartilage in my ankle running barefoot and had a nice half hour discussion with a specialist about it. Hour feet have to many bones and have be pampered to much throughout our life to handle the compression of long range running without the protection or shoes or in fact the 5 fingers. However over tome you could build up a tolerance to some degree. And running barefoot without running barefoot?... no.

  • @eyelikehurdles 1 learn to spell and 2 idk how you did that but it sucks to be you. I used to be 265 pounds and i ran off most of that weight and i never had problems

  • @MGSpencer2991 I said nerd? I should have said "dork" --a whale's penis-- because that is the type of person who wears these: a whale's penis.

    I'm a nerd and I lift weights. I'm the ubermensch Nietzsche wrote about. You're just some dork who reads fantasy books and sniffs his grandma's bloomers, and WEARS VIBRAM FIVE FINGERS IN YOUR ASS shoes.

  • @SupositoryRepository lmfao my grandmothers bloomers? what are you a fuckin english pirate? by the way, whale penis, most everyone knows what a dork is so to think that they dont is pretty stupid just like your allegations that i read fantasy books. I however do love The Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars and other great movies as well as video games such as Metal Gear Solid, Battle Field, Skyrim and so on.

  • hows the traction on wet surfaces? i have the kso trek and theyre pretty slippery. looks like a different rubber

  • i wish that they would have used the KSO's sole instead because to me that would make it better as a casual VFF.

  • This guy is so cute. Couldn´t focus on the shoes.

  • his second toe is longer than his first toe... freaky..

  • the cat is the camera man lol

  • I'm going to be receiving mine on wednesday, so I'll put a review on here... I'm also a non-runner, but I'm looking to get better strength in my legs. I'm looking to get back into weight lifting, so these will be from an "extreme" casual user, and light weight lifters perspective... see everyone wednesday night :)

  • Hey mate thanks for the review of these... Im looking at purchasing a pair and tossing up between the KSO's or the Speed really only for walking and training in the gym

  • so whats the difference to the bikila LS apart from the EVA?

  • What size are your nike shoes? Just wondering what size I should buy cause I've never tried the five fingers on and I'm 41 in nike.

  • Hey buddy, do you reckon you can put orthotic inside it

  • those look just awesome!

    i'm buying some nike free +2, for running ofc

    maybe i'll get the fivefingers later =)

  • Great review... and LOVE the addition of the cat haha!

  • Just got some of these in the USA, very comfy and not hard to find anymore. Thanks for the video Justin!

  • I had some Speeds, they lasted 2 months of light walking and 10 miles a week running. The UK distributor told me "The wear on the soles of both shoes is unrealistic for 2 months.". A great product to start with but it needs much better durability. Definitely not fakes, they where from an authorise UK retailer.

  • think could get away with wearing these models at work where normal sneaker/trainers are allowed?

  • Buy water shoes if you don't need the toes. They are much cheaper and in every other aspect the same. Trust me I bought Vibram Five Fingers and used them for Parkour, they were broken after one month.

  • aww cute kitty

  • Anyone notice, "The Game" by Neil Strauss in the background lol

  • @Mijumaru500

    Darn it, I guess you have to manually click on 0:45.

    So.... 0:40.

  • @Mijumaru500 Guess what: it's pronounced veebrum. Vibram is an Italian company created by Vitale Bramini. Watch any Vibram-produced videos and hear how they say it.

  • @jnowings I just prefer saying "v-y-brum", how you say it that one time in the video. It sounds better to me.

  • @jnowings Your right jnowings, the right pronunciation is veebrum (because in Italy we pronounce words as they're written letter by letter). To be precise, the R is pronounced different but I know it's difficult for strangers to pronounce it right. ;) Thank you for the review, have a good day.

  • Comment removed

  • Yup, it is Italian, and yes, they would prononunce it as Vee-brum. But that doesn't matter, we're not nitpickers are we? I just love the presentation he's doing so kudoes to the man on tape! I own a pair myself, they're awesome.

  • But dude, the best way to put 'em on is to stand up. You just put your foot in, toes down, and wiggle. It's really really fast, just saying maybe it could make things easier for you.

  • @jnowings you totally used google! 

  • @Mijumaru500 @jnowings You are all so dumb - I think you will find the official way to pronounce it - hou-rahelay-geefsa-sha-hit??

    :)

  • does it fit like the bikila or the kso?

  • How do they fair in the rain. I live in Vancouver and it rains constantly here.

  • is it ok if i go about 2 sizes above my foot size or will that be an uncomfortable fit? please help!

  • I got my pair today and they have black laces!

    When you weren't looking, your assistant Zeke sprayed on your Nikes.

  • ridiculous......to what lengths are veeeeebram (vibram) gonna make these shoes more like typical running shoes? they should stay minimalist....what's the point in a "barefoot" running shoe......these if my brooks had toe slots, they would be the speeds. if you are minimalist, run minimally...not in they fancy money makers. i got the smae pair of bikilas i started with and i run everyday in them

  • heck yea they are finally available in the states...hell yea

  • so fucking annoying to listen to

    stick to writing your blog please and thank you

  • @zakkyummms

    Reading your ignorant, overly critical comment was annoying to me. Stick to being completely silent and uncommunicative please and thank you.

  • I could care less if people thought those shoes were weird if I were wearing em. same goes for all of Vibram's shoes. I love them, they are comfortable, and cool looking. people should get over their unusual design and try them for themselves! they wont regret it.

  • Hey mate I need some help. I need that a website for that shoe. The design and everything. Can you help me?

  • Goddamn these look cool.

  • hey man i was thinking of buying a pair of Vibram's and well i was thinking of ordering those white ones you have but i dont run so often, im into bodybuilding so i mainly just jog/walk would u still recommend me gettin a pair? and do u think this would effect how much weight i can squat? thnks for the video man. god bless.

  • Haha, from like 10ish feet away, they look like normal tennis shoes. The toes look like they're all connected, until you notice the toe reinforcement, or shall I say, the extra rubber that comes up the toes haha. Good review man! Keep the videos coming!

  • What size shoe do you wear in US sizes cause i wear a size 11 1\2 and i orderd a pair of 43 kso's and i'm still waiting on them

  • Speeds are so ugly, in my opinion. I wouldn't buy those, for me VFF's just remind me of a more modern take on shoes and you're throwing in a somewhat or soon to be outdated material(s), and it just doesnt work for vibrams

  • I think I would just get this as a casual shoe too.

  • They look like skeleton feet-scary!

  • soooo sick

  • It humours me to think that some people have convinced themselves that these types of trainers are stylish, and socially acceptable, LOL.

  • @R1cePudding You're dating a blonde right? I bet shes fascinating...

  • @R1cePudding  They work! Great functionality. Who cares about style??

  • i think i have bigger toes because my feet feel a little short but i am afraid that if i buy another bigger model it will be to big, is there much diference between 44 and 45 man speed model. i am thinking about buy a 45 to keep company to mine 44 heheh.

  • thumbs up for the cat!!

  • nice cat

    i just got some kso's last week my first vibrams and they are awsome

  • They havent been around that long.and youve gone through 4 pairs!!!they must not be made that well?

  • @caliindica He/She means their 4th pair of Vibram brand shoes, not "speeds" specifically.

  • I dig....I want that shoe....how much does it cost?

  • just bought a pair @ REI here in Portland, Oregon...AWESOME

  • SPEEDS CAME OUT IN US ABOUT A WEEK AGO, I JUST GOT MINE!

  • mines came with black laces... its my fourth pair of Vibrams and I just LOVE them!

  • hahahah, dude if you open a box of course the cat will come hahahha, have you ever watched maru and the box hahahhaha. nice shoes, i am buying today.

  • wow. great review man. helped me make my decision

  • Can i have your cat(:

  • toe injuries on the rise

  • can you sue them if you have 6 fingers ?

  • which ones the best for sports and basketball?

  • can they be worn casually also? or they are strictly for running?

    they are different and stylish but i don't want to be looked like a duck if I wear them in the streets.. :)

  • i really want these shoes, i'd wear them constantly.

  • Even the cat doesn't like them.

  • Ha! These shoes are funny looking and the people that wear them do as well. Sorry, its the truth.

  • Will these be coming to the United States? I want a pair of these soo bad!! If not, is there any way I can order them in Europe and then have them shipped to me?

  • Wow these look amazing... I'm sorry if you mentioned it in the video since I am pressed for time, but where exactly did you buy these from?

  • So is it safe to assume the all Black Speeds are fakes?

  • @Capius1272 yep.

  • NO socks??

  • are the kso's better for your feet

  • Can you wear socks in these?

  • @shippudenguy Not normal ones, you need injinji's or another sock like it.

  • cool cat

  • Where can I get this shoe in the united states? In California to be more precise.

  • would you wear vibram shoes without socks?

  • @thugmilo He just did.

  • dude those laces are sick! i got the bikilas with the bungie strap

  • Your Cat is awesome!

  • Comment removed

  • so im looking at getting these, but im a little unsure about the size i should get. I measured my foot and its around 10 3/8th of an inch. I'm in between the 10 1/4th and the 10 1/2 measurements. should i go with the 40 or get the 41's?

  • @Randysaxeman Go for the 41s, it's always best to go up when sizing, so you can avoid crowding in the toe pockets, I was in beetween and 41 and 42 and I got a 42 and it has worked wonderfully.

  • @TheMalcolmElliot thanks for the response! love the website btw. I almost bought some fakes and wasn't even aware of it! Getting some legit speeds today. I can't wait to get them!

  • i just got a pair of white speeds and the seems on the inside of the toes rubs me raw did u find that with yours?

  • Still wondering why these kinds of shoes haven't taken place in science fiction yet...

  • The Speed is an awesome Shoe! Im going to get my pair next Week!!

  • have a pair of Speeds and let me tell you what, they are the most comfortable shoe i have ever worn. They have a more casual look and i where them like everyday shoes. i still need a pair more specifically designed for running though. Bikila LS?

  • What is the sizing like on the speeds, compared to Kso?

    cause in Kso trek I wear a 41, and in kso I wear a 42

  • Oh my goodness I am definitly buying a pair, good thing you are still on YouTube, I have seen your videos made long ago and thought you wernt making video anymore, anyway because I don't live in Europe, I need to buy them online, how do I tell if they are fakes or not, thanks.

  • what is QC?

  • @superspazz61 quality control.

  • @superspazz61 : Quality control

  • Just ordered my first pair! I ordered the Sprint in red! Shipped today from Rock Creek :)!

  • my fakes are just as good

  • @superspazz61 based on numerous reports from people who have the fakes, this just doesn't hold water. Granted, it's your personal subjective opinion, but the fakes are clearly not the same as the legit Speeds -- QC is off (for one) and certain design features aren't the same (I've examined photos of fakes and they are definitely not the same).

  • @jnowings I have sprint fakes and ive put a couple hundred miles on them and they have held up ok for such a thin and light product

  • My treksports AND sprints tore down the side of the left toe...vibram has refused to do anything about it. Not really looking to spend any more money into a company that doesn't help its customers.

    Nice looking shoe though, and a good review.

  • Now all you have to do is market them for Spiderman and we will all be running up walls :D

  • Oooooooooh kitty!!!!

    But I must say the are nice maybe I should get a pair.

  • don't get them on ebay, most of those are fakes

  • i like the speed

  • I have a cousin in Germany and he shipped me the speeds. They arrived in my grubby US hands in 9 days. I'm absolutely in love with these shoes. Have the black ones and thinking about the white ones.

  • Comment removed

  • starting of a nano suit?

  • 2 people who watch this have webbed feet.

  • @thacrackfox i do and it sucks cuz i cant wear vibram:(

  • Which soes would be good for parkour

  • What American shoe size are you? and whats the length of your foot in inches?

    trying to find what my size would be in these ( cause I have flat feet and end up buying bigger sizes)

  • where can i buy the fivefinger speed?

  • @jmhslupe ebay has them new for just under 100, ships to the US, only place i found

  • so do the speed feel more secure than the KSOs?

  • I've been looking at getting a pare of vibrams. The speeds seem to be a good choice for me, but I've had trouble finding a place on the Internet that sells them for a good price in my size(because I live in the US). Do you have any ideas where I could get these at a good price?

  • i 'LOVE the speeds there wicked and look awesome too

  • not stylish not cool you wear them casually n get beat up

  • @deanrow89 i wear them everywhere and nobody even notices

  • no it didn't; and I got ordered mine from voycontigo.de I hope there authentic I get them Monday! nice vid

    you scared you assistant at 4:05 and 4:50

  • Ur website sucked

  • i got my kso's yesterday cant wait REALLY i cant fucking wait i think i have been camping out on my porch for like 10 weeks!!

  • Do you know anything? "I don't know what this is, but its cool" I don't know what this material is" I don't know what this is made of"

  • The Speed is legit - just not yet available from US retailers. Fall 2011 they will be in the US. That said there are also fake Speeds out there (but these aren't).

  • @jnowings If I am willing to have them shipped to the US, how do I make that order? I would love to try a pair of these Speeds.

  • @jnowings If you had to pick between the bikila or the saucony hattori for like running,maybe some quick walks to the corner store play a game of football on grass with friends.Im in highschool and well i wouldn't completely mind wearing five fingers because of the uniqueness and the barefoot feel,but the hattori is more sporty.Opinions?

  • @jnowings They are available in the US now, as I saw a shelf section for them at REI, the guy said they were sold out and he had no idea when they would get more, and they are now on the US website as well, but they're sold out there, and almost everywhere else in the nation, too.

  • those are knock offs nothing off vibram website are not legit

  • beautiful cat, btw. :-)

  • "the UK or Europe"? FYI: the UK is part of Europe. Same continent, same EU.

  • @rustishacklefordx I would double check on that. I'm not sure how they do sizes, but when I got mine the guy told me they are European sizes. I wear a 13 in US sizes and a 44 in European sizes...

  • must.... have.... now....

  • can you review the komodo sport on youtube? i don't know if i should stick with the kso's or to switch to the komodo's.

  • I think your cat likes feet. Like a LOT.

  • @PenguinCheats01 siamese seem to love to be the center of attention

  • ahhahaha these things are so retarded i love them.

  • Bought these five fingers around 8 months now.

    Did a 10k run in london a few days later, no problems at all.

    In all they're pretty good if you ask me :)

  • Have you tried it in winter?Like in NY's winter temps?I know it's not made for cold weather but that doesn't stop me from wondering.

  • @AndrewSmith00000007 I have ran with Speeds and Bikilas in winter. Not the warmest shoes in winter of course but they work adequately for running with thick toesocks like Injinji Nuwool. My feet always freeze when walking with them but when running the faster I go the warmer my feet will feel. I think it's because the feet are not touching the ground that long and they will heat up from exercise.

  • @Santttu Thanks for reply man. Bty where did you buy Speed from? Cuz I don't see it in Virbam site.
