Reviews of Vibram FiveFingers Mens Spyridon Athletic Shoes

Customer Ratings:

First of all, let me say the Spyridons are amazing. I first tried the LS model at a local REI, but realized that the upper was a bit too tight for my foot (which is ironic, because my understanding is the LS model is supposed to accomodate a larger, wider foot). After that failed attempt, I did a bit of online research on the standard, KSO-similar model. Having two pairs of KSOs, I realized that this might be the ideal fit for me, so I orderered and received the shoe.

Out of the box, I tested them on a nearby local, rocky field-trail. Let me say, the ground feel was definitely still there, but the painful jabbing and stone-bruising caused by upward-facing, sharp rocks disappeared. I will say, however, that they aren't a miracle shoe. With heightened ground feel, you are bound to still feel the occasional "poke" from a rock (mainly in the toe and heel locations, from my experience) but the trade off is this:

You get an amazing trail shoe, one that retains the barefoot-like feel while protecting your foot, giving you both reliable tread and protection needed for the most aggressive outdoor trails.

Take my advice, and enjoy!

I will start off emphasizing the point that you REALLY should try a pair of FiveFingers on before ordering. I tracked a store down and tried on a pair thinking I would be a size 43 which is what the online sizing chart told me I should be upon measuring my foot. Though my measuring skills could have been the issue, it turns out I am a size 45.

Now that I have them, I am very satisfied with the feel and protection they provide. It takes me a bit longer to put these on than a regular shoe, but taking them off is a breeze with the Velcro strap. I have been playing basketball and running around town putting about 15 miles on them, so I felt it was a good time to review. I see no wear besides traces of dirt. I am looking forward to hitting some trails soon as well and have no worries about the protection of my feet. These seem to be the most "rugged" which is what led me to this model. That was my only concern switching to this type of footwear, and now that concern has been obliterated. I will be buying more in the future.

I use these for running on trails. The trails I run on are very rocky, however, when running with these shoes, I can get the barefoot feel without the pain. Spyridon are the best shoes for running on rocky trails. Highly recommended.

perfect, comfortable and fit properly. good for short to medium distance, it sounds strange, but with those minimal shoes my usually sore back, after running, feels great!

This style is a bit more stiff than previous styles. More protection in the woods but less flexibility for climbing rocks.
