Fila Men's Skele-Toes 2.0 Slip-On Shoe Review

Customer Ratings:

When I first got these shoes, I wrote a glowing 5-star review. I apologize to anyone who bought a pair based on that review. While I still love the concept (I am an LMT and think they're great for your feet) this particular shoe is terrible. Both my son and I had holes in our toes in less than a month. We've since switched to the Vibram brand and there is a remarkable differnce. I've worn them almost daily for 4 months and they look like new. We even hiked Yosemite in them! They're alot more money, but worth every penny.

So, again, I still love the concept, but not this particular shoe. If I hadn't been so busy after the holidays, I probably would have returned them for a refund.

I have very mixed feelings about these shoes. As far as comfort, they are probably the best shoes I have ever worn. My wife and I went to Hawaii and hiked 8 miles on the Kalalau trail through every terrain imaginable wearing these shoes. Our feet were somewhat worn at the end, but whose weren't? We had no problems with the support or anything.

The MAJOR flaw with these shoes, however, is the durability. My first pair of shoes ripped on my big toe right where the fabric meets the rubber of the sole. This wasn't after heavy use, either. I ripped it after bumping my toe on a staircase literally 2 minutes after wearing them for the first time! Thankfully, I was able to exchange that pair.

My wife wasn't so lucky. After we finished hiking the aforementioned trail, she had ripped holes in nearly every toe. She had problems with sand and dirt filling the shoes and grating against her feet. I had learned how to walk more softly in my shoes, so I didn't experience any rips. For that reason alone I would discourage purchasing them if you are planning to get heavy use out of them.

For a start this product was a poor imitation of the original five finger shoes, the sole is way to thick, however the grouping of the 4th and 5th toes is not a bad idea. Nevertheless the shoe became un-stiched after one wearing.

I bought these expecting them to be my new workout shoes and after about 3 runs with them I had already worn a hole into one of the toes. I think they fit great and they feel great to work out in. They just don't hold up very well

I workout in a Kettlebell gym regularly. Footwear here is either barefoot or shoes that are as close to bare as possible. My toes are sensitive so I opt for the latter.

Been using Vibram 5 fingers for the last 6 months. In the last week I have tried in addition to Fila Skeletoes 2.0, the Adidas Adipure Trainer and the Fila EZ Slide.

The 2.0's are the most comfortable and protective of the lot. The EZ Slides hurt the top of my feet, the Vibrams pinch my toes. The Adidas are a nice effort but the design and lack of velcro leaves the shoes disconnected from the whole movement of the body. I should add that visually the Vibrams are way more attractive than the rest especially the Komodo model. However, the pain is just not worth the Rock Star good looks.

The Skeletoes low price is a bonus, but even if they cost as much as the Vibrams, I would gladly buy them. Ordered a 2nd pair today in a shocking shade of chartreuse.
