Vibram FiveFingersVibram Fivefingers 2023 El-x Knit Women's (Numeric_38)

I was worried that these might run small but they don’t. My regular size fits perfectly.

Vibram 5 fingers. Is my favorite shoes all the timeVery unique and comfortable 👌 😊

I have several pairs of Vibrams that have been wonderful. I decided to try this style out since Vibram changed the Vi-B that I have worn for years and with a different material that is not anywhere as good as the originals. As far as these EL-X knit shoes go, the fabric and toe area are good, but the back is unusually high. It rubs and is not comfortable. I have noticed that Vibram has been making some changes to their more minimalistic shoe options, and not for the better based on other reviews I have read. When the material that has been used for years and has worked for so many changes for the worse, it is frustrating. I hope Vibram will consider changing the back of this EL-X knit shoe to not go up so high. Also, if Vibram is reading this, please don't feel like you need to update and change something to a newer version if the style is already good and working for so many people!! Other than offering more colors, no other changes need to be made with previous minimalist versions.

I have hoped Vibram would make something more slipper-like. These are that...but they need to be broken in slowly just like all Vibram shoes. As comfortable as they seem, they still are very snug, and for some reason my heels ached after wearing for a while. Giving them a break.These are NOT meant to be true outdoor exercise shoes, I don't think. There are plenty of better choices for that and for the gym and such -- once broken in, I think they'll be great around the house, in the yard. I am hoping the break-in happens quickly. Then I might go back and re-rate a 5. they fit well...
