I used to laugh at them until I started to using them, I used to wear maximal shoes and I felt pain in my knees (very little) but when I change I felt in love with running. It is a completely new experience.
They can be life changing for many people on how they think about running. Glad you love running again. Run strong.
That was a superb review.
Very good information
Thanks for the transition shoe suggestion as I was about to do the same . No shoe had ever been comfortable to me , will try vibram
Start out slow and keep the milage short, once you adapt to Fivefingers you'll never want to go back to regular running shoes. Best wishes, run long and prosper 🏃🏃♀️
@@CoolRunningReviews thanks a lot . God speed
Tuve La V-Run, pero en mi caso el upper se rompió rápidamente sin llegar a 200 km. En cuánto a la suela con menos de 400 km se desprendieron dos de los tacos laterales.
Después de esa experiencia, adquiri unas V-Run Retro, mas resistente en todo, llevo mas de 550 km y esta intacta. Es menos transpirable, es mas parecida a la V-Trail. Sin embargo la suela es de una sola pieza, y por tanto mucho mas resistente a la abrasión de la carretera.
Thanks for the great review!
Love the v-trails, and, having never tried five finger shoes, I think this is the pair I would go for.
I do have a difference in size between my left and right foot, so I wonder if there’s anyone who has the same problem and have tried five fingers… I think they would feel odd on the small foot.
Thanks for the video!
It's rare that there's not a perfect Vibram Five Fingers for all runners, it can be a little bit of trial and error when we first transition into them, but ultimately we find the right model and size, from then on we just keep ordering the same model and size online. Most important we measure our feet correctly first and order the size to suit the largest foot, the smaller foot shoes may feel a little loose in the beginning, but you'll soon not even notice it. Thanks for your comments and feedback.
@@CoolRunningReviews Thanks for the reply! This is the sparkle of two old flames of mine: running and “those weird shoes-things-that-make-you-look-like-you’re-Goofy-with-no-shoes-on”. I hope to be able to dedicate more time to both these things in the future!
Currently testing the new FiveFingers V-Trail 2.0, full review coming up.
@Charlie Jonathan sorry it took so long.
I saw someone using them on his OneWheel Pint. As a rider of e-vehicles, I had to try it. I have the V-Trail version as my first entry into this type of shoe, and was prepared to send them back on first try. But when I had more time and actually read the instructions (I likely didn't position my toes in each pocket previously, resulting in a painful experience), the left one fit comfortably and the right one will likely take some adjusting but isn't bad.
It's common for people to have one foot half a size bigger than the other, I also have this issue with Vibram, but I've got use to them now and don't find it a problem that one is always a little loser than the other. Trying on a few sizes is so important to find your perfect size. Good luck, hope it works out for you, but don't give up, maybe you will try a different size next time.
@@CoolRunningReviews Great advice, and thank you.
Just ordered my first pair of vibram. I will have them next saturday. I hope the size fits.
I went with the V-trail.
It's a flawless purist running shoe. If you get the size right you will never want to run in anything else. That's why always best to order from Amazon so you can keep sending back until you get the perfect size. Once you know your size future ordering is then easy. Enjoy!
They can run a big when you first get them
Wow ! Thanks a question I have does it resist nails on road and even if gotten through does a metal mail from the road penetrate till the leg inside? Coz our roads here in Mumbai have lot of construction work happening and we see nails all over the road
thanks for the review. which one would be best for running up and down hills? i need some padding at the ball of the foot for going steeply downhill because it can be very jarring - so much so that i typically have to walk down hill in the models i currently own. or is there a different style you would recommend for hill running?
V-Trek or V-Trail are both perfect for this, especially if you wear the toe socks.
I do a lot of hill trail running in V-Trail 1.0 (original version) and love them.
Of course if you are new to Vibram FiveFingers you should build up your distance slowly each week wearing them on hills.
Good luck, run long and prosper.
@@CoolRunningReviews thanks for the quick reply! i’ve been running/hiking in five fingers for over a decade, in the Spyridon LS (❤️) most recently- but i’ve never been able to handle running steeply downhill in any five fingers i’ve owned unfortunately. I’ll give the V Trail a shot and hope for the best! ( likely v-trail 2.0 unless I can snag the 1.0 in my size somewhere)
I think you'll be ok in V-Trail, either 2.0 or 1..0, both are great shoes but 2.0 I think best suits runners who wear toe socks. Hope it works out for you 🏃🏃♂️
I'm thinking of transitioning to 5 fingers from 'regular' training shoes. I currently do mostly HIIT training with off/on road running as side line but am wanting to increase how much running I do (with some hiking thrown in).
I'm just wondering how well the Vtrail will handle the HIIT training? I know Vibram do other shoes suitable for gyms but can only afford one pair so need the best fit (pardon the pun)
V-Trail 1.0 are tough and durable to handle tough surfaces ad tough training. Thanks for comments.
If own a pair of v trail 2.0 in size 9.5 which size of v run should i get ?
I love them I only had too stick them in wash maybe once or twice
Thanks for feedback!
Hi can we use this on treadmill. Or sand. For long run.
Hello! I am wanting a pair just for everyday use, no running but a lot of standing. Do you recommend to vrun or vtrail? Do the vtrail have more support? Or are they wider?
Go with V-Run, super light and breathable, super comfortable for standing and walking in summer. V-Trail better for winter.
@@CoolRunningReviews Thanks!
Hi, is the v-run OK on light trail such as dry dirt trail, fire road etc?
I'd say no, the perforation holes to make the shoe light and breathable will let too much dust and stones into the shoe. V-Trail is much better for this.
I've clocked over 1,800 miles on one pair of V-Runs. My favorite shoe. Just ordered the Trails and going to see how they fair.
Thanks Ali, 1,800 miles is impressive in V-Runs, you didn't get any tearing around the toe box area? Let us know how you get on with V-Trails. Happy running to you.
My 1st pair of v-runs that reached 1,800 had a ton of tearing around the toe box (sides and bottom) and the soles separated from the shoe and i had to shoe glue them to keep them together. My current pair of v-runs is at around 1,400 and the soles aren’t separating but there is tearing in the toe box of the big toe. I’m thinking of getting the a pair of the retro v-runs. The material looks completely different! @@CoolRunningReviews
@@ali2kan That's such an amazing running story, you really get every mile out of them. I really wouldn't have thought it possible in V-Run's as the material is quite soft around the toes. And yes, my pair on order is Retro V-Run's, will make some video reviews once I've done 50 miles or so in them. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, I'm sure it will help others who read it. Happy running's to you!
I run in the v-run on every service, I do run on the beach regularly and do get some sand in the shoe but don't
find this a big problem. They are not good in mud, just have to run slower
Glad you like them. Do you have V-Trail as well? I much prefer them for sand and mud.
@@CoolRunningReviews Just the v-runs.I have bought some Sockwa G4 just waiting for them to arrive
@@barefootdogwalker1402 looks amazing, first I've seen of this product. Thanks for the info!
1)Which Vff did you use before V-Runs were launched?
2) if heat were not an issue would you recommend V-Trail for asphalt and Track runs?.. Im sceptical about the new V Runs because of stitching issues i have read complaints about
3) I want the ones that will last me long?
V-Trail 1.0 is the go any where do it all Fivefingers, I think you will be very happy with 1.0 version. Thanks for commenting.
Do love the v-run's, fit the feet like a second skin (except the toes are a rather too long) Use them mainly as walking shoes though. But they do suck if it's wet, or cold, or wet AND cold :)
Interesting you mentioned the long toes, I thought it was just me and my sizing. Yes, cold and wet V-RUN sucks 😅. Thanks for commenting! Happy running
@@CoolRunningReviews well you know, a lot of people have freakishly long toes :) they have to account for that when they design them. Whereas my toes starting with my Big Toe being the largest and each consecutive toe being roughly a fingertip smaller than the previous one.
@@FiliusFidelis Good points, it's a bit of a shock though when I transition from V-Trail which has shorter toe lengths, to V-RUN with longer toes. Same size shoe, same product range, much longer toes on one.
I asked SealSkin if they’d consider adding a five-fingers line of water-proof socks for that reason.
Can't they make them without individual toe slots?
If you get your feet soaked on a trail run, how is the drying out/blistering process?
Never had a problem with blisters in V-Run or V-Trail 1.0 from rain or running in the sea waves. Thanks for commenting.
New review coming soon, Vibram Fivefingers V-Run Retro...stay tuned.
If I can buy one pair, which should I get?? I usually run on gravel roads, and sometimes sidewalks.
V-Trail is still the best all-round shoe.
Which is which again.
I have flat feet and only one :P, now I feel i should switch to barefoot running since the feel shoes are not doing good to my ankle, and plus I am pronating a lot from my left feet. Heel strike is not much but it's still there. I want to know if this is a good choice.
I think yes, these amazing Vibram FiveFingers can reset a runners style of running back to a more natural running style. Just make sure you transition slowly so you can get use to the natural barefoot running feeling.
@@CoolRunningReviews I am really skeptical if I should go back to wearing shoes again and transition slowly. May be I will take it slow for couple of weeks and then push to my routine. Should I go with v run five fingers , I would be doing more of a road running.
I think V-Trail might be better in the beginning, they offer much more support and cushioning than V-Run. Easy for all types of runners to transition to.
What should I choose? V-Trail or V-Run?
For now, I’m mainly walking and runing in the gym.
V-Trail are lighter with much more breathability, perfect for walking and running in the gym. I think V-Trail would be too hot and sweaty in the gym. Thank you for commenting.
What's the difference between the man and woman shoe of the same model and size ??
Only difference is colours from what I seen. Thanks for comments.
would v trail or v trail 2.0 be good for running in tropical weather?
Both are perfect for tropical weather, I use mine in 40C and 80% humidity.
@@CoolRunningReviews thanks. i am actually more interested in 2.0 even if reviews are bad because i wear socks and see that most of the complaints are from those who don't wear socks with them. i was just not sure about wearing them in hot and humid weather.do they dry fast when get soaked?
@@gudboyngdisyerto 2.0 is s great shoe if you wear socks and get the sizing right. Allow a little extra on the sizing, in my experience they are a tighter fit than 1.0. And yes I still think it's a good shoe for tropical running.
Very comfortable
Excellent! Thanks for comments.
I have V-RUn and V-Trail v2. The first one could injured you with small rocks. V-Run for road or forest trail, the other for trail in mountain
Agreed. Thanks for commenting.
I cannot stand these shoes...................................................they train you to run forever...SMH.. I Literally do not want to stop running with these on...
Yes, they become quite addictive 😀🏃
Yea that’s an issue for sure
Are the v trail waterproof ?
V-Trail 1.0, original version as seen in this video are not waterproof. V-Trail 2.0 are water resistant.
How will v trail feel for road running?
Feels almost like a regular running shoe on the road due to thickness of sole.
@@CoolRunningReviews Thanks for replying. I'm planning to transition to barefoot running shoes but I'm concerned about V run's durability. Also V run retro is not available in India. Pls help me choose between Vrun and V trail. I occasionally run trails.
@@rhanda50 V-Run durability is to a very high standard, you will break before you break these shoes. I've done many hundreds of miles in mine, still as good as day one.
@@CoolRunningReviews Thank you for the info. I will buy v-run now worryfree.
Do you wear socks on these?
I own a pair I have too say V-trail
Agreed, it's the best do all, go anywhere FiveFingers.
Best running shoe that you can get I've looked

shoe looks lose on you , btw i bought a pair of vibran running shoes about 5 years ago
They may look lose due to no socks and had done over 100 miles in them, but the size is perfect for me, no blisters and toes stay in pockets perfectly. Can also sprint in them no problem. Do you still run in your Vibrams?
@@CoolRunningReviews I still do and it's the only shoe I'll ever run in , once the foot and leg tendens get strong , it's like running on clouds
@@Casual_BackPacking So great to hear, totally agree, they are the best shoes for the pure joy of running. The V-Trail original (first version) are my favouite for the conditions and types of trail that I mostly run. I recently tested the 2.0 version, can't run in them without socks as the new material causes blisters, so I sent them back. Which one's are you using? Is it V-Trail?
@@CoolRunningReviews I just purchased this year's model of the v-runs can't wait to try those out , I'm guessing they will be a bit more stiff but have more rubber on the sole then my old 4 year old v-runs that I purchased at sports chalet 😂. From the looks of the trail shoes it seems like its just a hiking shoe and not a trail running shoes .
@@Casual_BackPacking Nice! Love V-Run, light and fast, feels like you really are barefoot. Very breathable too. You are right about the new V-Trail, 2.0, great for hiking but they should remove it from the running category on the Vibram website. I'm going to be testing the new FiveFingers SeeYa running shoes, lets see how they compare to V-Run... Let me know how you get on with your new V-Run's!
