Hi guys,

Does any one know a website that delivers Five Fingers to New Zealand?

Cheers.

The website directions are pretty good for fitting VFF's. I also did some research online on any other tips when it comes to sizing these great shoes and came across this article which is worth checking out: Finding the right size vibram fivefingers shoes

[...] tried Vibram Five Fingers? I have seen them here (Tim Ferriss shouts out CrossFit as well), here, and here. Is anyone up for trying them [...]

Paul,
nope, not that long. I did a little trimming to them once I got the vibrams, but I can only go so far, you know, haha. They are getting a little better so far. I think it just takes some stretching out and being active in them. The more I run in them, the easier they become to wear.

I’ve had the FLOW model for about 10 months now. For those having trouble, you really just need time to get used to them. It’s a big change for your feet. At first my toes hurt, everything was sore. Now they are so comfortable and natural I can do anything in them. I wear them with and without the Injinji socks depending on temperature.
For men, don’t be afraid to try the women’s models if you are having difficulty getting the right size. They have some in-between lengths that may fit better.

I’m going to buy a pair for every day walking, gym training, and sprinting. I’m not sure whether I should get the Sprint or KSO variety. Can anyone please advise?

Danika,
This may sound like a funny question, and maybe it is, but how long are your tonails? Do they extend past the end of your big toes? This may cause a jamming of the nail back into the toe.

I just got a pair of the sprints and after walking around campus with them all day the tip of my big toe on both feet is killing me! I tried on both size 39 and 40 and both were a little snug at the store in the big toe area, but since the 40s had so much extra room everywhere else I went with the 39’s, but am now worried that they might be too small. Do these normally fit really tight at first? I’ve heard they stretch out, but how much?

My boyfriend just bought them after reading Born to Run and loves them! His runs are a bit slower as he gets used to it but he feels himself working muscles he never has before. He does get strange looks from people, but he doesn’t mind. (It would probably bother me)

He does have to use BandAid Blister Blocks and Dr Scholls Moleskin with them though. They cause blisters, but I think he needs to let them heal and the skin will toughen up and then he should be fine in just the shoes.

By the way, I succumbed to the temptation and bought a pair of Injinji toe socks to wear with my FiveFingers.

They’re great socks, but the added bulk – even though they are fairly thin – makes my FiveFingers uncomfortably snug on each of my toes. They’re fine with normal shoes tho.

But as always, your mileage may vary…
