Vibram FiveFingers Unboxing

http://myachillesrupture.com/ Supremely excited about my recent purchase of the Vibram Five Fingers Classic minimalist footwear to add variation to my training and increase my strength levels in my feet and lower legs. This video is an unboxing of the product and look at them on my feet, but NOT an in-depth review. I'll need more time for that and will film an update in several weeks to provide more detail and commentary based on ACTUAL and increased usage.

@K1rkHammet 5-6X of wearing these should give you some hints of how to adjust what you do in them. ;)

do the sell these in green? i'm putting together a frog halloween costume and these would be instrumental as part of that costume.

@tomx63 Good question. Great costume idea, also! :)

I don't recall seeing the VFF Classics in green. You might want to confirm the color choices with different models (KSO, Bikila, Trek, etc.).

I ordered a pair. Unfortuantely, I failed to realize that their sizes are based on inches, not traditional shoe size. I ordered a 10 and 3/4 inch pair thinking it was something between a shoe size of 10 and a 1/2 and an 11. I measured my feet and it was 10 and 1/4 inches.

Is a Vibram Five Finger adjustable for a foot that is half an inch off? Could you tighten the straps? I already ordered it and it'd be an awful shame to find that it's too large.

[MyAchillesRupture]

@CKProductions1022 Oh, no! My experience is that you really have to be close to perfect with your sizing with maybe a 2-3 millimeters of extra space or it will be really uncomfortable/painful. You should try them on when they arrive, but I'm not sure they will work. :( The Classic is really the most minimalist of the VFF models. Other models have velcro straps on top for a more rugged use of the product in more diverse terrain than what the Classics could handle. Hope they do work out for you.

@MyAchillesRupture I have a foot problem where my left foot is bigger than my right foot, for the classic, do I need to get 2 sizes?

[CKProductions1022]

@MyAchillesRupture My Vibrams came in today. I forgot to mention I actually ordered the KSOs. I went for a run with them and I felt great! They are a little big for me but I just tighten the strap a little extra and they're fine. The transition wasn't very difficult for me because I ran barefoot for a little while prior to purchasing the KSOs. I'm also Korean, so I'm usually always barefoot indoors anyways. I'll be sure to order a size smaller for my next pair. Till then, I think I'm satisfied.
