Vibram Men's V-Alpha Sneaker
A**L
700+ km (435 miles) and still going
I'm about to order my next pair as the soles are now showing some wear after over 700km of mixed road and trail running and I need to wear them in before an upcoming event.Apart from the tread, the only other wear showing is the little velcro tabs that stop the laces from flapping about both fell off (maybe after about 400km or so), and then between a couple of the toes there's some wear.But after 700km that's acceptable to me. I've been running in barefoot shoes of some kind for 10 years now, and I'd never go back. I tried the V-Trail model, but there's a weird seam running across the big toe, and I couldn't make it across my kitchen let alone consider running in them, so I stuck with the V-Alphas.

Barefoot Avatar Awesomeness 👏
Barefoot is my thing and I’ve tried them all. Yes merrell gloves are awesome but these blow away even my 375 miles of trails in my former five finger v-trails. They are very comfortable, great sensory feedback but at the same time an element of protection, well done Vibram. The only downside, my girlfriend keeps referring to me as her avatar as the best way to disprove the blue colour is indeed avatar-blue.

Not quite minimal shoes.
Second pair of five fingers, the last ones I wore the soles down to the fabric.If you have narrow feet like I have, there is no way to shorten the laces. Previous pair were Sprint which had velcro rather than laces.The soles of these are not as miminal as some other five fingers but enough feeling of ground comes through especially if you stand on a sharp stone...

Grate product terrible customer service
The shoe itself is brilliant I had to re order a slightly bigger size but they fit perfectly. The customer service however is terrible I’ve tried contacting them over the past fue weeks about getting a refund for the pair I sent back and have only received automated emails in response.

models that are no longer for sale were much better
models that are no longer for sale were much better. I find the material is to stretchy and the heal slips back because there is a gap there. the top of the ankle is a bit to high

Falling appart on the first day with light use
Had to superglue it as I'm at work. First day of use and all I do is stand all day

Absolutely Stupendous
After a few years of not wearing the sweet firm embrace of a five fingered toed shoe. These swanky soles caught me eye, with a stellar customer service assist, and I mean stellar, dude spammed me to prove he wasn't a spam caller to confirm my foot size. Absolute legend of a guy.I've had them for a weekend and a bit. Already got three 6km runs in and they are everything I desired. They have taken their spot as daily shoe and shall remain till they like the last pair are shredded, let's see if they last 8 years.

Mejore mi dolor de rodilla
Deje de usar tenis caros de suela, por que me dolían las rodillas, en cuanto comencé a caminar con estos tenis descalzos mi pisada se estabilizó y mi dolor de rodilla desapareció. Comparando las pisadas me di cuenta que con los tenis normales siempre te corrigen la pisada, que en realidad te cambia la anatomía natural, por eso la lesión, así que en cualquier regrese a caminar de forma natural ya no tuve ese problema. Esa mi experiencia, espero que les sirva.

Do the job
Not much material for a hiking shoe, however the make some fantastic water shoes. I also find they are pricey foe what you get.
