I just got my pair and the feel great, the only thing that I feel is that my big toe touches the end of the shoe but it does not bend it. is this ok?
SInce you have the three pair i need to know about i will ask you, :)
i have a pair of bikilas, i am thinking about the KSO or the TrekSport. Which do you like better? which holds up best and is more comfortable? and does the bigher back bother you at all? Let me know!, look at my video for what i mean about not knowing what size. thanks!
@DirtRoadPrincess5993 I like the kso better. Gives me better feel and more wiggle room. The KSO Trek are nice but feel more like shoes because of the thick sole
@RadicalSrfrBoy i have tried them and if you get a very thin under amour type material sock they feel okay but just regular toe socks would not fit in the toes.
@RadicalSrfrBoy i have tried them and if you get a very thin under amour type material sock they feel okay but just regular toe socks would not fit in the toes.
which do you think has a better versatility and durability? treksport or the bikilas?
im planning on running/walking on trails, track fields, grass, and cement concreate. i want to buy a pair that lastest the longest (i tend to wear out my sneakers easily).
Hello. Thanks for the review. I had a question. Do you know how well the things respond to pool water. I saw a guy at the gym wearing kso in the pool and I was wondering if the chlorine would damage them?
@SalvadorLosAngeles Haha that is def strange! It must be the runners mind haha let me know how those VFF turn out for you! And keep making videos I really enjoy them
I got a pair a while ago actually and they are really tough shoes. i love them! and that "felt-like" material you were talking about is actually kangaroo leather. they have the materials on the website. over all its the best shoe i have ever sank $100.00 in.
eh the quality of the shoe is terrible for the price my friend had them after a week the seem were the glue met the mesh already started to come un glued had to use shoe goo id wait after awhile to so that the quality gets better thats just me he ran the long beach marathon in them said they were great quality wise no
@MrCavScoutout you probably just got a bad pair. it happens all the time with everything from shoes to cars to game systems. and there is the possibility that they were counterfeit. ONLY ORDER ONLINE OR FROM A LISTED RETAILER! NOWHERE ELSE!
Hello VFF fans. I was hoping you guys could answer some questions for me!
1. If I get the VFF Treksport I would use it for like trails and hiking so does it hurt to walk in them?
2. Is the grip good in these?
3. Right now my Vibram size is 39 (checked it at a store that sold Vibrams). I'm going to get these (if I do) In March. So do you think I would grow into a size 40 by March? I'm 12.
What is the sizing like. I want a pair, but there is no where near me to try any on, and I'll have to order them online. I just want to get the size right on the first try.
Treksports are listed on vibrams website.They are also sold by official vibram retailers. I picked up a pair this weekend and I'm loving them. Great for hiking.
2) Vibram logo like in this video is OK, they cross a little the 2nd toe compartment
3) I don't know what you mean with shininess. They do have retroreflectors on the instep strap sections and back on the heels, and also the grey strap and the plastics on the toe compartments shine.
I just got a pair of the sport trek today and they are my fav, i have 10 pair of Vibrams i need some speeds i have 4 kso 4 bikila and 1 classic and now one sport trek lol you gotta love them.
I noticed you were not wearing socks. Are they comfortable with out sock? I am considering getting a pair. It's just that I have a hard time finding the toe socks in bulk.
Great design. Just received mine from Citysports, as well, but I have to return them, as they run a size smaller than the regular KSO's. I wear a 42 in the Sprint, and a 41 in the KSO Trek, but these are definitely a size off. Sucks, too, because Citysports is out of 42's now. It's worth the wait though.
@mysticalwoodsman Yeah, I bought them in a 41, but returned them and ordered 42s elsewhere. I've been wearing 5's for almost 3 years now, and have fit hundreds of people for them, as I work for REI. It's pretty common for both the 5's Brannock device and Vibram's sizing chart to be a bit off. Even sizes within the same style can vary. That's why I always suggest that people try them on in a store if possible or order 2 sizes to be sure. In this case, I didn't take my own advice. : )
@fivefingersfree OMG... I had to return them! Yesterday I finally found a company that had them in stock in size 42. You were right! :o/ It must be the difference in material that cause it to be too tight. It was on the verge of me almost keeping them, but man, yeah, they were just too tight right at the tips, otherwise they would have been a really good snug fit.
@mysticalwoodsman Yep. Sounds about right. I don't think it is so much a difference in the upper's material, as it is the variance in where they are manufactured. At least for the KSO styles. Just like when Vibram had to pull a major initial stock drop of Bikila's back in Spring when they were delivered to an East Coast retailer because the sizing was just too off for their standards. Guess that's the price of overseas' manufacturing. : ) Definitely gotta make sure you get the right size though!
I dont agree with Ur size advise. I wear M40 in Treks and M41 in Sprints. I got M40 in TrekSports and at first they fit rather snug but after some days & hours wearing/hiking/running they stretched significantly. A looser size would have compromised running in trails.
BTW, I put both Treks & TrekSports side by side and the sole is exactly the same length (both are M40). Any difference is due to the vamps, but they are stretchy. If U size up, Ur shoes are gonna be too long.
@heathmoor That's my whole point: each style and specific pair MAY fit slightly differently. If 50% the time I I fit true to the 5's size chart, and then the other 50% of the time I don't, that's a discrepancy in sizing. It just looks like you've had a good run of luck with them. I've had customers try two pair of the exact same model and size on before, with both fitting them very differently. That's why I say always try them on. There should never be any extra room anyway if they fit right.
@Alerio how they feel? , just know the Vibram brand for 2 weeks and that mark only Treksports are the most caught my attention because they are the most similar to tennis shoes air that I use.
What would be your favorite all around shoe based on comfort and performance

theguitarsuperman 1 year ago
I read an article on how to spot false versions of this company's shoes and the treksports appear to be fakes.
Real versions don't ever have shininess and the Vibram logo on the big toe should not cross over to the second toe.
I have not heard of citysport before so maybe they are legit, but i'm just lookin out for a fellow Vibram enthusiast.
