Thank you! I've been trying to figure out the differences between these two and you gave the clearest answer and helped me decide!

Hi max do you have to size down with thse model cos its a slip on

nice carpet

Love the comparisons and honest review! Thanks so much for your insight 🎉

For me i just wat the zero drop and some room for me big toe. I dont want a sole so thin i have to look out for pebbles. That part dousnt seem to have any advantage to me. But then i hate walking barefoot i don't want to have to constantly look out for pebbles .

What are the black shoes on your left my right and the ones in the front all black.

The word outside…… and then the dog cames hahaha

Enjoyed the quick overview of the shoe, thanks!

Hi, i am currently using a eu 43 for v-run. Does the retro fit the same?

Hi thanks for the great video. I have been looking at the ultrapire 4 waistlight. Is this an upgrade? I see the 4.0 version is 600 lumens and s this 850 lumens? Thanks

Way to go ER !

do I have to size up because of the fleecelining compared with the normal v-treks?

I am considering buying this bag. How durable is it?

Great shoes and helpful video. Thankyou

Thanks

My question is which one is more rugged for years of use in harsh terrain? We ordered both but can inly keep one?

Seems that none of these reviews test to see if these sandals ground you when wearing them. I just got a pair and I found out I was not grounded on the ground and on pavement.

These bottles are great, easy to drink and easy to clean. Tip in using this bottle is to keep the bottle squeezed and take as much air out of it when you finished drinking. The sloshing noise this bottle makes can be very pronounced when it's no longer full.

First

He he.. I bet my Ridgeway's are lighter. I wear size 6👣

I wish I had the problem of barefoot shoes being too wide, lol. Still on the search for something that is double extra wide and the entire last not just the toe box. Fortunately, is sandal season! No cramped foot, maybe a little overhang, but I can live with that. Now I am off to check out some of your other videos.

I'm a boothead myself, but I'd always been curious what barefoot shoes were like, and love how human like the FiveFingers look, so earlier in the year, I bought myself a pair of preloved V-Alpha's that were in great condition, and I absolutely love them 🥰 I'm booted 99.9% of the time and in Trainers or FiveFingers the other 1% of the time. My true shoe size is a UK 10, but I know they tell you to size up in FiveFingers, so went with a EU 45 with my V-Alpha's, However I recently got myself a pair of V-Aqua's, I ordered an EU 45 in them, but exchanged them for an EU 46 but ended up exchanging them again for a EU 45 as I could move the heel up and down in the 46, the 45 fits perfectly 😁 I've started the process that Vibram recommends to get my feet used to them and build strength in my feet and toes, currently either my V-alpha's or V-Aqua's for a little bit every other day, I walked 3.1 miles in my V-Alpha's yesterday, of course I had toe ache afterwards because my feet are yet used to them, but love how comfortable they are and how good I can feel the ground in them, maybe walking 1 hr 6 mins(3.1 miles) in them is too much currently whilst my feet are still getting used to them, don't want to end up getting any micro fractures. Also thank you so much for the tip on how to get them on and off, It's helped me out so much, I can now put my FiveFingers on quickly and easily ☺️

Thank you for the tip to pinch the lace between the toes! Much more comfortable.

Everyone is talking about how the shoe is stiffer and more cushioned and a downgrade from the original HFS and you only have to say good things about it. Sponsored much? Whatever..

Does the v-run model have a fairly stiff rear heel? have you tried doing very powerful sprints? does the leg shift inside when running powerfully or is the fixation excellent??

Are Xero more narrow than VFF?

I just lift weights, no running. My main concern is leg press / squats. My ankle mobility seems fine. Idk if I should get xero hfs, tolos archetype, or just some chuck Taylor’s

I have to wear heel caps in my vtrails ,I've been wearing barefoot shoes for a few years now and the five fingers hurt my heels after a few days, but gel heel cups seem to be the way to go

I use size 41 in KSO evo and size 42 in Vtrail 2.0 and V-alpha. Which size should I get in the V-run retro?

Hi, just got a new pair after wearing my previous for 9 years and the ones before that for about 4. No clue what size the others were but pretty sure they were men's with more room in the toes and foot width. New ones felt too tight at first mid-foot mostly, but loosened as I wore them around the house. I am really conflicted about sending them back and rolling the dice on a larger size that might end up being too big. I don't think I will know if these work or not until I wear them for a full day. Buying these blind is rough even for people who are used to them.

Thanks for feedback.

Hey Max, do you think a 3 liter bladder will fit in the zygos?

I feel like I’m stepping on the inside arch piece. Is that normal? Are my feet too wide for the earth runners?

The five fingers are awesome. I use the Alpha as my all-in-one shoes for daily, road running, training, bush walks and even taken it swimming. Then I have the Vtrek for trail running. Great under foot with subtle protection and are slightly stiffer than Alpha that makes the feet more stable. I also carry a Xero, as my other daily and as Max mention has bad lateral movement due to lose toe box that even caused me to trip once crossing a road. Solved that by wearing a slightly thicker injinji socks to fill in the gaps without squeezing the foot tight.

So true about Vibrams versus the others. I used to love my old Altra Sampson's, flat, th8n, wide, supple, ugly, great for running in relatively straight lines. But you wanna ball? Strap on some Vibram Treks. For table tennis, Vibrams are like glue when changing directions. Other people think I'm weird. lol. If they tried Vibrams, then they'd understand . Unparalleled grip!!!

These are my go-to shoe for every day wear.

Смысл трясти их перед камерой? Одевай давай!

No!

Thank you!

Cheers Max

they should fir like a glove, beware of taking shoes with space, these are not traditional shoes, with few runs they will be softer and fit perfectly.

Got a pair and didn’t feel anything until a mile in Stitching could be felt on the bottom of the right shoe but not at all on the left. Is that normal? V Trail 2.0s

One more question. Which vibram would you use to replace the Xero messa trail 2? V-trek 2.0? I've read they have more feel and are more flexible than the V-trail 2.0. My thoughts are the V-trails replace scrambler lows and the V-trek replaces the Messa 2's. Debating of the V-run or V-run retro replaces the HFS 2's. I already have two pairs of KSO evos, they are my favorite. I've climbed mountains in them, but not often because I don't want to shred them.

So I go up a full size from my size in the KSO Evos? I love them btw, but for longer runs I'm wondering if I should go with the V-run or V-run Retro (Which feels and fits closest to the KSO Evos? For the V-trail 2.0. How will they hold up to scrambling and scree skiing? I summit alot of mountains in the canadian rockies. Thanks for all your help. I have Xero scrambler lows I have not yet taken to the mountains (it's winter still) but I'm thinking of forgoing those and getting the V-trail 2.0 as I prefer toe shoes to anything else

How do these react to water?

Activate the posterior chain.

When you say half an inch, this distance must be there when you are standing and the sole of your foot rests well on the ground right? I purchased a V-Trail 2.0 European market, I live in Italy in size 46 EU "28.5 cm" reported on the shoe box. My feet measure left 27.9cm and right 27.7cm. Despite this I feel a slight pressure on the longest toe and second toe on the right foot. Could this be because I suffer from a slight degree of valgus?

Just got some Earth Runner Alphas recently, and I agree they are really hard to beat once you break them in. I've got numerous minimal sandals from other brands, and all have their pros and cons. But for everyday wear, the Alphas are really nice. But the break-in can be pretty brutal, especially if you wear the heaviest performance straps. I needed about a week or so of wear before the straps felt comfortable.

Should have told us new five finger shoes, where you got those socks?

l wish vibram found the way to really create an water proof shoe. l cant understand why ppl is doing an unofficial review and claiming things the shoe doesnt do
