Review: n/a - I have a particular problem with shoes. My feet are narrow both width and depth-wise, that is to say the height from the floor. I can't wear slip-ons because they're simply too roomy for the upper to grip. Even ordinary shoes I have to pull the laces aggressively tight. Until now. I cannot believe for the first time in my life I have an absolutely perfect fit, and from shoes which aren't even designed for my situation. Heel doesn't slip, nothing feels too tight or loose. Amazing. If it weren't for the super-grippy sole I think I'd forget I was wearing them entirely... with socks. With thick socks even in the October weather so far I've found them absolutely fine as indoor shoes and out, they self-evidently provide no warmth whatsoever and undoubtedly make better summer footwear than winter, but you may find it more bearable than you think. I also find the inner sole muggy without socks so that's my preferred way regardless, until warmer weather appears at least. I will say that people apparently find the sole narrow, which even as somebody with narrow feet I do notice a little but to me personally it only particularly stood out when I drove in them as I would have preferred broader pedal contact. If you have wide feet I can see it being a personal matter. The sole squeak on hard floors when you do a hard stop and makes a sucker sort of noise when damp but neither matter unless you're frequently doing either. I got the Olive colour as they were at the time much cheaper than the others, ce la vie but it's hard not to feel a bit like I have unappealing amphibian feet. I suspect pretty much every other design would be an improvement and that they can genuinely look really good if you choose better than I did. Even my frogwear wrap style is cool. My only real complaint is the price, I don't doubt that the soles are top notch given that Vibram are generally a provider of high quality soles to other brands and this is 100% their party, but there must be a hefty markup for, materially, what you get. Is it overpriced for the *experience* you get? Perhaps not so much, this is the only footwear I can recall where I'd go straight out and buy them again if disaster struck. I'll see how well they last.
Review: Comfortable and lightweight - I bought these as I wanted something comfortable and lightweight to wear around the house and on short trips out. They have exceeded my expectations. They are really comfortable and allow your feet to move naturally. They do take a bit of getting used to as there is no real cushioning on the sole so it can feel weird.

## Features

- Vibram Furoshiki: the wrap sole for anywhere and everything you do!
- Furoshiki is the only sole on the market that wraps the entire foot. Because the upper is made of stretch fabric, it anatomically fits well with any foot type and the Velcro closure system allows for a quick, easy fit.
- Machine wash cold, air dry

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great shoe.
*by B***N on 16 April 2020*

First off I bought the original in 2016. After 4 years of wearing them, mostly inside, they gave up and I had to chuck them. Over 4 years service isn't bad though considering I wore them pretty much every day. This version seems hugely improved over the original. First off the Velcro doesn't make contact with the floor. The toe has more protection. The sizing is way better (Before it was XS, S, M, L and XL) and they just seem a bit more robust. I picked my size of Vibram Five Fingers, 9.5-10 (44) and the fit is perfect. Will I wear them outside and go on long walks, probably not, I have my other Vibrams for that. I wear them as sort of slippers but then can also go outside to the car/garage etc, which is a bonus. Highly recommended.
