When I first took these out of the box, I was pleasantly surprised at how light they are!  The hemp fabric is surprisingly soft.  When I put these shoes on, it was slightly difficult to get my toes in and they were a uncomfortable around my left little toe.  Any discomfort resolved within an hour or two.  After wearing them around the house for three days, my toes easily slip in and  they feel so comfortable!  I no longer have any discomfort in my left foot and I feel like the toe separation these shoes provide will help the issue that caused my left little toe to initially feel uncomfortable in this shoe.

I usually wear an 8 or 8.5.  My other pair of VIbrams are a trail running shoe, size 39, but after reading advice to order up for this shoe, I ordered the 40s.  Although they fit, they seemed a little big.  I was worried about them being too big to wear comfortably if they stretched even a little, so I ordered the 39 to compare.  The 39s were just a tiny bit snug, but after reading that they would stretch, I kept the 39s and returned the 40s.  I'm glad I did, these stretched just enough!
