Vibram Women's FiveFingers V-Aqua Water Shoe

Great value, very comfortable, sleek, and they fit almost invisible. This is my 2nd pair in 7 years. I'd still have my first pair but my dog ate 1 of them. I'm not 1 to have stuff on my feet,I have found myself falling asleep with them on. It's like walking completely bare foot. You can feel everything the grass between your toes, the slickness of the mud squishing. I've hiked swam, rock climbed, I've done a lot in the FiveFingers aqua shoes. As long as you keep them from your puppy they will last you years. They are definitely quality built for ruggedness for all you do in life. Definitely recommend hands down. Just a little update, I accidentally ordered the wrong size when I ordered these. This company was very understanding, as soon as I ordered the correct size and sent back the ones that were too big, I had the new size within 5 days. Much earlier than expected. I thank the busy folks at Vibram for getting these to before my vacation.

This has been one of my favorite shoe purchases so far. After going on vacation to Costa Rica and realizing what terribly sensitive feet I have, I decided to look for water shoes that would suit future beach travels and protect my feet in rocky areas. I dedicated a significant amount of time to comparing water shoes online in order to get the best bang for my buck and this shoe, without a doubt, is that. I've never been apart of the 5-fingers club until now and I'm glad I finally joined. It only took a few days to get accustomed to walking in these and everyday I feel my feet getting stronger while the experience grows more pleasant. My feet feel the ground comfortably, allowing tactile reception without enduring painful sensations from rough terrains. Something worth mentioning is that the grip on these are AMAZING. I am able to climb wet, rocky surfaces without a problem so I imagine using them as boating shoes/surfing, would also be ideal. I was sure to use the sizing chart and I successfully ordered the right pair for me. Keep in mind that you will need to measure from the heel to your longest toe. I have had these shoes for about a week and a half but I live near a beach and use these practically every day, so I will post updates if anything changes--but I don't expect it to!

Amazing shoes. I wish I had bought them sooner. They fit true to size and you can adjust the heel and foot straps. I wore them kayaking followed by a short hike and they were perfect. I would not wear them hiking on hard ground with lots of rocks (the sole isn't that thick) but they are great on wet/slippery rocks or if you are hiking through mud. For the people who complained about little bits of sand getting in through the drainage holes ... perhaps you should not go in the ocean. The shoes dry very quickly and they don't weigh you down in the water because of the drainage holes.

If I could give it zero stars, I would. The sole on the big toe doesn’t even fully cover your toe on the right foot, ensuring you will rip your toenail off and/or slice the heck out of it on the first rock that finds you on your adventure. The left foot is made fine(the four toes are rather long though, with the big toe fitting perfectly), too bad the right isn’t, I would have dealt with the four toes being a little long. They aren’t the same as they used to be. I loved my previous pair and wore them until they fell apart on my latest hike after giving me their all! I have worn them and loved them for every adventure I’ve been on, and I am so sad that these won’t work. It is $56 USD to return them and the shoe costs $62.42. I can’t even deal. It’s not worth it.I originally bought the 6.5/7 from Vibram on Amazon, and those shipped and showed up as a 7/7.5. This whole experience has been awful and cost way more time, and money in this latest debacle, than any of it is worth. It’s ironic because these are the one of the few things I am willing to buy new and actually splurge on. Totally let down by all of this.

Comfortable and my toes feel great!

I've been wearing Vibrams for about 15 years and I love them. They keep changing the styles and likely most people like that but I have found the "old" styles were the best. These shoes - I'm sure - are great for water and they're labelled that way. I use them as everyday, in-the-house, shoes. Their rubbery inside is great to grip in the water. Their fit is true to form. I find a bit less arch support than the old styles but still good.

Ideal para caminar en el mar

I bought a pair of Vibrams about 6 years ago and they were incredibly comfortable. I do Yacht cleaning/detailing for 8-9 months out of the year, meaning I spend most of my week on wet boats. I was using my old KSOs, until the treat got too worn out to be safe on a boat. These KSOs have been through everything with me. I would leave them on my car to dry out after using them, forget that they were there and start driving with them, They were even run over by numerous vehicles after falling off my car 3 separate times on the high way.. each time returning to me safely and in tact. I was never expecting that much of these new shoes, but I can tell you that Vibram has declined in quality. The materials are cheaper and they are just not as comfortable on my feet. They rub against my achilles, while being too loose on my heel. The hole does not fit closely to my ankle, but rather very loose. Not to mention that I first bought the wrong size (too large) because the conversion chart is off. I am an 8-8.5, but I ended up needing a 38, which says that its for a 7-7.5.I like the drains in the bottom, the grip works well and the silicone is a nice touch. So all that to say, they work and I'm not going to slip off the boat. But next time, I'm going for a different shoe.
