Vibram FiveFingers Women’s Trek Shoe Review

[i0love0u]

Regarding the fit of the Trek, they fit much looser than other VFF products, which allows them to work really well with socks. There are absolutely no tight spots anywhere around my feet. That being said,gucci loafers for men, I have experienced hotspots on the bottoms of my feet,Gucci Women Sneakers High Line Purple 002, specifically the bottoms of my big toes,Gucci Women Purses Leopard Style 012, because the shoes do move around a bit while running on rugged terrain and the friction of repetitive slipping inside the big toe pockets eventually leads to a blister. This is probably a question of my toes being too small for the big toe pockets and would probably not affect everyone. The VFF design is made in such a way as to accommodate as many foot shapes as possible and this is one aspect of my feet not being ‘average’ in this dimension. Despite the hotspots,mens gucci, I still love the comfort of these shoes. I appreciate the extra room because of the activities that I do in these shoes, specifically a lot of trail running, when my feet tend to swell after long distances. These shoes really are ideal and extremely comfortable on rocky terrain,Gucci Men Sneakers Low Line Black 119, which very few minimalist shoes can claim.
Regarding the feel of the Trek against my skin,Gucci Men Boots Grey 003, the leather footbed and sock liner inside the upper feel soft and practically seam-free. Although my hands can feel seams on the inside of the upper,Gucci Men Sneakers Middle Line Brown/Grey 023, specifically within the toe pockets, my feet definitely do not. I do wear socks for the most part when I run with the Treks,gucci wallet, though,cheap gucci for women, and have not spent much time in them sockless.
Weight
Each size W39 Trek weighs just under 5 ounces,gucci riding boots, or 140 grams. Although this is the heaviest of the VFFs that I own, they are far from heavy as a minimalist shoe. Even after relatively long runs,gucci handbags on sale, I do not feel the weight of these shoes on my feet.
Flex / Sole
The sole is comprised of a 4 mm EVA midsole, which offers plating protection from stone bruising,mens wallets gucci, and a 4 mm Vibram performance rubber outsole with considerable lugs (for a minimalist shoe) to improve traction on rugged terrain. Although it is not as flexible as the KSO and other VFF models’ soles,over the knee boots, it is still quite flexible when bent in any direction. The total 8 mm sole is the thickest sole I’ve tried on a minimalist shoe but considering the rocky terrain that I’ve run on with them,gucci belt, I do not have a problem with the thickness in the least. I have experienced stone bruising while running on trails in my KSOs and after running on the same trails and gravel roads in the Treks, I have never experienced a similar problem. The 4 mm midsole definitely does its job protecting the foot arch from stone bruising.
I must admit that the first time I tried the Treks on, I did feel noticeably higher off the ground than in any other of my minimalist shoes. However, his was on concrete, once I stepped onto a trail,womens gucci sneakers, this feeling disappeared.
