These are probably my least favorite Vibrams. I have probably six or seven different shoes,  so I have something to compare them to. These make your feet look quite large, even hobbitty.  The toes are very stiff and never really softened up. I find that for me a size 40 means no socks will fit, while a size 41 requires socks. I got these in a 41. I wear socks but I never really feel that my toes fit well.
