Vibram Women's Bikila Evo WP Road Running Shoe

I think these shoes are a miracle. yes, they run smaller than other VFF shoes, especially if you want to wear them with socks. but once I got the right size, I have NOTHING but great things to say. they say waterproof, and that is no joke. you can run right through icy, slushy puddles and you don't feel a thing. its incredible. they also have really good traction on icy sidewalks. they are extremely comfortable, even easier to put on than my normal VFFs, nice and soft inside, and the height is really great for getting through those puddles. plus, the top part isn't irritating at all , something I was worried aobut. they are really amazing and I recommend them whole heartedly for winter running.

I bought this model for both myself and my girl friend and though there are some novel ideas put into this VF model it was an over all catastrophe. I sent my pairs back twice and eventually got my money back. In all three pairs that my girlfriend and I had collectively the medial diagonal stitching came undone and the whole shoe split apart which of course dissolved the water proof feature quite literally. Another huge problem was that in the female model the toe spaces were far to small, even for my girlfriends tiny toes. I would recommend the Vibram Lontra model if your looking for something waterproof.

I was so excited to find a waterproof pair of vibrams so I ordered the same size as my vibrams I wear every day..... they came 2 days later than they were supposed to, even with prime shipping, which was probably the fault of the truck driver. When I went to put them on to break them in, my feet felt like they were in voice grips! So disappointed! I sent them back so I can get the next size up.

This Vibram style runs very small. I usually wear a 38 or 39 but needed a 40 in this shoe. But once you get the right size they are fabulous and completely water proof. Finally a winter wearable Vibram.After wearing these in cold rain, I'm not as happy as I was. My toes get very cold as soon as the shoe is wet. My toes do stay dry nut the cold makes them feel wet. Too expensive for just waterproof but not insulated at the toes.

Can't rightfully review them as they were to large. Apart to run bigger than my other vibrams

These shoes exceed my expectations for functionality and comfort. I would have bought them years ago if I had ignored the reviews which said they are too small and narrow. I think it depends on which part of your foot is wide. I have a wide forefoot, fat stubby toes, almost no arch, low ankles, and not much of a heel (I just cinch up the excess fabric in the back, something I can’t usually do with non-Fivefingers). These fit me better without break-in than my KSOs and KSO Evos, and don't have the annoying rock plate or high collar that caused me to return the Spyridons, and I went five miles in them the day I got them and probably thirty or forty miles since. I wear them with or without socks, depending on whether it's cold out, and they work perfectly in puddles, mud, or wet redwood duff. They don’t trap sweat even as badly as KSOs, which is some sort of tech magic. I wish I had bought these years ago.

My guess is that the 5 finger vibram developers do not use size standards which is unfortunate because they are my favorite shoe. I wear this brand nearly every day except for when I know it's going to be very rainy because I hate having cold wet toes, yuck. I was hoping this shoe would be the answer to the rain and snow but because of the considerable change in measurements, the design just couldn't handle the compression force and busted at the seams on both pairs I tried (I returned both). I've wear tested and reviewed shoes shoe companies and magazines for many years and the 5 finger (for me & my preference for no shoes) is by far my favorite. I've never reviewed for this particular company professionally but I've attached my own personal findings in pictorial form for my fellow Amazon customers.

I have six pairs of Vibram and these are the WORST I have ever bought! I wish I could get my money back. I used once and omg the worst ever! Toooooooo small
