Vibram FiveFingers V-Run (men's): honest review

These are my Vibram FiveFingers V-Run shoes (men's). I've owned them for over a year and they've held up great. I use them mostly for weightlifting, resistance training and running on my treadmill. I don't wear them outside.

I usually wear them with toe socks, but they feel really comfortable without socks too. I went sockless in the video so you can see more of the shoe. The bungee speed-lace has a plastic fastener that slides to tighten, and a Velcro tab tucks the lace out of your way. The upper is perforated for some breathability, and there's a toe bumper and a thicker sole for extra protection if you run outside on gravel or uneven ground. There's a quick treadmill demo, and you can see the room for the toes to spread.

Honest note: unless you're really into the toe look, these are not the most stylish shoes. They're for utility.

My verdict: with that said, they do a great job with the utility.
