Vibram Men's FiveFingers V-Aqua | Barefoot Amphibious Water Shoes for Trekking & Wet Expeditions

I use vibram five finger shoes all day every day but I wear toe socks with them and they have a tendency of getting soaked unless you waterproof the shoes. This makes it difficult to traverse extremely wet environments. So i bought these so I can swap out in case I decide to walk through the woods in the rain or if I feel like going into the water. Not only do they dry rapidly but they help me keep my grip even in the most slick environments. they fit great and they work great, 200/10

These are the best, and only five toe sport shoes I ever owned. I use them for surfskating on my Carver and Ocean Pacific skateboards for a barefoot feel like surfing; they are a great alternative for use in the Bronx which has some rough streets. They are sturdy, comfortable, and look great. I can feel the ground and they grip the boards excellently. I an looking to get another pair in a different color. I can't say enough, I AM VERY HAPPY.

I have wide feet (4E) and there is enough stretch in the front of these to accommodate them. I am missing a tendon in my ankle due to a bad set of sprains and these shoes give me the same great stability that I feel when walking barefoot. I can walk on uneven surfaces without any sense that I'm about to roll my ankle and fall over. When I wear regular shoes, I can only safely walk on perfectly smooth surfaces. I think if I had known about Vibram, I probably wouldn't have sprained my ankle and tore my tendon to begin with. Not having the thick sole of a running shoe removes the extra stress on your tendon when things aren't perfectly flat. These are great and I now wear them any time I'm in the yard working. Even stepping on sharp rocks doesn't cause any pain which is great. They are like an extension of the pad of your feet.

Very cool product however I saw a few mixed reviews pertaining to size, mostly that this product runs small. For me, this is not the case. I wear an 11.5 and was almost convinced to go larger but stuck to the 11.5 based off of a review. I find the 11.5 to actually be a bit too long causing me to adjust the rear strap almost to the point where there is very little Velcro to secure the strap in place. This will sometimes cause the strap to come undone when I wipeout on my SUP. Other than that, these have great traction and able to walk on reef/rocks with no pain.

I got these shoes for indoor casual wear. The thought was that these would be breathable and lightweight enough for extended wear. I have been very pleased with them. I wear toe socks with these and even then my feet do not overheat. At first the shoes were a little stiff, but after a few days and some practice juggling a soccer ball, it quickly broken in and became stretchy, to the point of almost being sock like. In fact, these are my second pair. I got the grey ones first and loved them so much I didn't want to go a day without wearing them. Unfortunately these things need to be washed so I got a second pair to switch off with. Wash them on cold, gentle, and hang dry. Enjoy

I got a pair of the original five finger vibram water shoes. They finally tore apart at the seams on me after what... 10 years almost of having them? So hardly a first-time-wearer. These suck. They are too big just slightly which probably contributed to my experience. The old ones had problems with small stuff getting in them too and they were perfectly sized though. Always annoyed me. I just bought these, wore them for the first time this past weekend camping/floating, and I spent the majority of the time on our river float last weekend having to take them off constantly to wash the little pebbles and rocks out of them. Each and every time I got out of the raft, I'd have both "shoes" full of little river rocks. They have to be intolerable to wear on sand, because they were terrible on a simple river float. Meanwhile, I got my son some sandle-style water shoes. When he got rocks in his shoes, he's splash it in the water and be fine as they drain right out. I thought I was being cool getting the nifty ones. Nope, I was the one having to take my shoes off, rinse them out, wash off my feet, and wrestle my toes back into them each time I get out of the raft. And aiming wet toes into wet rubber foot gloves isn't easy. Especially when you have to do it each time you decide to step into the river unless you want to walk around with your feet in rubber socks full of pebbles to step on with bare feet. Another person on this float trip was also wearing a new pair of vibrams. She had the same experience. We both decided we're not gonna use vibrams for float trip shoes going forward. As such, I have no use for these. I wore them, and I understand "Caveat Emptor" and all. If I can't return them, I guess I'll let them rot in the closet and go spend 5 bucks on some decent float shoes that don't suck at trapping rocks in them the whole trip. Not like I could in good conscious sell them to someone else. I have ethics like that. They were fine for walking around the campground. But I sure was happy to put my hiking boots back on when I got off the river. Can't recommend anymore. Really liked my original vibrams, but I guess the novelty of the toe shoe thing wore off and I realized they just plain aren't very good footwear. Certainly not worth the price. I have friends who love them. I think they just are still swept up in the novelty though. I'm gonna suggest pass on these, shoppers. Go get something comfortable and functional instead of novel.

Fit is snug and protects your feet while you still feel what you are walking on.

I kayak and depending on the dam schedule I can be in and out of the water. I think this brand is really cheesy for running shoes after purchasing the off road running shoe 8 years ago. I did not like them for running but I LOVE them for anything in the water. The last pair took 8 years before they needed to be replaced. I bought the water version seen here and they are even better. I have a pair of Astral water shoes and they hold nothing on these. These are way lighter in the water. I can swim with them and it feels like I am not wearing anything, but I am protected from rocks in the water and hot pavement outside of it. The only downside is the tricky sizing. That is why I wanted to buy on Amazon Prime. My last pair was just slightly too small and my little toe felt a little smooshed but I used the size chart and it worked out this time.
