After wearing Five Finger KSOs for a couple years, which I think are awesome by the way, I decided that I wanted something with a little more grip/padding for light trail/street running. My KSOs are size 41, so that's what I got with these at first. They were too big howerver, so I tried size 40 and the feel just a hair too tight. When I first was using them I didn't do any running and after a couple days they seemed fine. Then I decided to run in them and that was a big mistake. The ventelation on the sides is great, but the position wes just right that the forward inside vent corner began rubbing away the skin on my feet. After running only a half mile I had to stop and descovered that there were blisters on the insites of my feet and one of them was already bleading. Also, the stitchig on the inside tips of the toes is a little too thick and rough, and leaves red lines on the tips of my toes. I'd give it these two stars, but it's not Vibram's fault my feet don't conform to their specific sizes that seem to varry from one model of shoe to the next. They do look nice though.

UPDATE! This top section is RECENT. The paragraph below is OLD.
I've been wearing these shoes regularly for the past several weeks and I have not had any problems with them. The tongues that I had worried would rip have not yet done so, nor have they shown any signs that they will do so in the future. I am moving this rating from 4 stars to 5 stars. If the tongue rips, I will come back to this site and edit this post. As of now, I don't see this as being likely. These are great shoes!
I love Vibrams. That being said, I do really like this product, but it is not up to par with other Vibrams that I have experienced in the past. The one big problem with these shoes is the tongue. You need to yank on it to get your toes into the toe slots, which is normal. What is not normal, however, is how weak the linkage of the tongue seems to be to the rest of the shoe. So far, there has been no rip or failure, but it seems inevitable that it will happen. Maybe I'm wrong. I've only wore them a few times since they arrived, and they are cummfy enough and all, and I like the feel when wearing them, as with all of the Vibram shoes I've ever owned, but the durability of that tongue on this particular pair is just so questionable. And if it rips out, the shoe is garbage. So far it hasn't happened yet, and I hope it never does, but I'm not very confident about it. I won't give these a bad review until they have actually ripped.

I measured multiple times based on the manufacturers sizing tips. I ordered 46 based on their advice, but believe one size smaller might have been the way to go.
