I have had these Vibrams for several months, and they remain my most uncomfortable pair in several ways. First, they are very difficult to get on because the heel is extremely hard to pull up even after my toes are in the toe slots. Second, the top is weirdly designed: the side of the shoe and the tongue come up rather high on my ankle, so when I bend my lower leg toward my foot, the tongue and side of the shoe poke uncomfortably into the front of my ankle. This happens even while I'm walking, which is my primary form of exercise. Third, the velcro tab sticks out weirdly to the side, and it won't stay latched. While I'm walking, it pops loose randomly and catches on my other foot, making me have to stop and relatch it--only to have it happen again later. I will not buy this particular model again and cannot recommend it to anyone.
