VibramMen's FiveFingers V-Trail 2.0 Trail Running Shoe

I have been a long time user of Vibram shoes. They are true runner shoes and activity shoe giving the user the most optimal minimalist feel while in use. Personally, feel that the Vibram Alphas are the lightest and most minimalist shoe that can be used for running. I posed a question about the Alphas. I wanted to know if it was good for running to the Amazon community. Some people said yes but only on trails. Others said to run with it but to be careful due to its thin sole.I've been using the Alphas for about a week now. They are GREAT!I usually get the Vibram trail. I went on and purchased the Vibram trails 2.0 due to it being the latest insert in the trail edition. I recieved my "Trail 2.0 today. I tried them on and they fit perfect. I usually were a 12 in shoes. I have wide feet and I'm flat footed. I orders 11-11.5 or 45 in Europe sizes. I'm giving you this information to help a future buyer. These are things that I wished other reviewers would mention on their reviews.The feel of the shoes feels like the shoe was custom made for my feet. Having both the Alphas and Trail 2.0 I can say that both shoes are made superb. It depends on what you are looking for in terms of performance. I would NOT recommend the Alphas for a new user to the minimalist shoe. Maybe high end athletes who are track runners or ballet dancers who are accustomed to staying on their toes. With minimalist shoes you are forced to stay on the ball of your feet while running. That is truly the correct posture of running. Why do you think many users of Vibrams who intially had knee pain while they ran, or plantar fasciitis no longer have those problems.Vibrams are for hardcore runners. You are using every muscle in your legs to run. If you are serious about running or getting into running go with Vibrams. Do your research on each type of shoe by going to the Vibram website. Use Amazon or the Vibram website to purchase the shoe that fits your ambition.I run on cement alot so the Vibram trail 2.0 works well for me. The Alphas works well for me on cement as well. Maybe I'm used to the minimalist feel that the cement feel doesn't bother me. Running in grass with the Alphas feel phenomenal. I ran in grass little bit today. If you aren't used to these kind of shoes let me forewarn you that your legs will feel EXTREMELY sore after a run. When people run in traditional shoes that aren't maximizing all of their muscles properly.The Vibram Trail 2.0 are a 5 star shoe in my opinion. Some of the reviews that give it less than than 5 star have reasons that don't necessarily point to the performance of the actual shoe. The Vibram Trail 2.0 are comfortable, and they are safe [I have worn the previous trails for years]. They are not the most minimalist running shoe (I believe the Aplhas are) from Vibram. Once you get accustomed to these type of shoes you will NEVER go back to regular shoes.

A little early for this review perhaps, but out of the box i can determine a few things.One, the shoe has a great construction quality, to the extent i can determine that now (check back in a month or so).Two, the fitment is great on me - as others have mentioned, the sizing is a bit smaller than other VFF shoes, but it my case that works. Your results may vary, but so far, so good!

I love my old pair of Vibram Five Fingers...superb comfort, fit like a glove, and served me well for years. So, I had to replace them eventually, and I decided to go with the V-Trail 2.0 since I frequently run off-road and my old shoes felt like I was running barefoot (read: I felt every rock and crack).The good: These are excellent for off-road running. As an added benefit, they are also somewhat water resistant, so that I can go for an early morning run through the grass and dew and still get home dry. Love that aspect of these shoes!The bad: I had to order a size up, the first pair I got (same size as my original shoes) were too small on several toes. The next size up fits better, but not great. The cut of the toes seems to be different from the left to right shoe and the little toes don't seem to be proportioned correctly. I'm hoping it stretches to match my feet eventually.The ugly: The bulkier design of these shoes makes them look more like Frodo's feet than high-tech running instruments, but I can deal with funny looking shoes if they work as well as they should. It seems like there's too much fabric on the upper part of the foot and they bunch up there.I'll keep them because I'm travelling and I need shoes to run in, but I wish there were better options, or that I could have tried these on in a store (not carried by my running stores anymore).I wish you luck in finding the right shoe!

Feel like your own feet, but protect from injuries from small stones. A bit stiff sole compared to the running models, but you cannot have a cake and eat a cake.

These shoes were painful within a few steps. The toes fit poorly for my feet. Between the pinky toe and the next the toes would cut into my foot. Only the big toe and index toe fit well for me.Update: It took 3 months to get the return. Completed on these things. I'm not sure if it was the seller or amazon. But thanks to them I've canceled my amazon prime membership.

They need to put in big letters across the top of the box - DO NOT PUT THEM IN THE DRYER. The heat of the dryer loosens the glue up and they fall apart sooner.In my opinion every runner needs a pair of these. If you wash them and just let them air dry then they should last years. My last pair of V-Runs that are much lighter have lasted 4 years. These are more tread-oriented and robust - just what I wanted. They’re comfortable as all get up and get more comfortable if you wear the five finger socks.

So not even a mile into these I can feel a bunch of the stitching underneath the sole to the RIGHT shoe. I’d be ok with that IF the left was the same but it is not. I feel nothing under the LEFT shoe and a lot of Stitching under the RIGHT shoe. Now it’s very noticeable and I’d be ok if it was both have felt stitching or both have no felt stitching but the disparity is odd. Also the RIGHT has a slight visual difference in quality of the emblem. It’s a tad more yellow than the other. Makes me think that these aren’t a matched pair due to varying quality.Other than that great but I’m probably going to return these for another consistent pair or something else.

Muy buenos, solo busca bien en las tablas de tallas para que pidas bien la equivalencia a USA

Rien à dire.

Ich nutze den Schuh für Läufe zwischen 6 und 12km auf vorwiegend hartem Grund. Es ist anfangs nicht leicht, den Schuh so anzuziehen, dass jeder Zeh in seiner eigenen Box landet, aber mit etwas Übung geht es nun doch recht einfach. Die Schuhe lassen sich angenehm tragen und es lässt sich super mit ihnen laufen.

Finally found the correct size in the v trail, from using a size eight in the KSO Evo to a full size up in the v trail. I’ve deliberately used toe socks to stretch these slightly, and now that fit perfectly when used with bare feet. I’m fully aware of the mountain of complaints regarding the sizing, but a little patience has paid dividends.

È il terzo paio che acquisto. Con le prime ho fatto 1600 km fra corse e camminate, con le seconde sono oltre 300. Queste sono di scorta, non si sa mai. Uso anche altri modelli della stessa azienda di cui sono soddisfatto ma queste per me sono le meglio.
