User questions & answers

Question:	Is the yellow color a neon yellow
Answer:	Yes it does have good arch support. Arch and bottom of show are very comfortable. I would warn you though this shoe and ASICS brand runs narrow.
Question:	Does this shoe have good arch support
Answer:	I think M just means medium width
Question:	what is the diference between a size 10 and a size 10m
Answer:	How many days do you have to return the shoe?
Question:	Does Shoebacca have a return policy if they do not fit
Answer:	I have ball foot pain periodically from wearing dress shoes that are too narrow. I run in these and find them comfortable but use the Dr. Scholls “work”’insoles instead of the ASICS insole plus a small pad (any drug store or Amazon) under the Ballins of the foot. ASICS Gel 5 had more padding - they’re slipping a bit. Still a good shoe for the price.
Question:	has anyone with ball foot pain tried these shoes for jogging or running ?? does it help
Answer:	Good for walking and standing on your feet for extended periods of time. I work in a warehouse with concrete floors and my feet feel great at the end of the day.
Question:	Good for walking
Answer:	Air will not flow through these shoes. When I’m through wearing them in our Texas summers, my feet are quite warm. As far as keeping them warm in cold weather, for our winters, they are warm as well. I hope this helps you with your decision.
Question:	Are these sneakers warm or does air flow through them freely
Answer:	These are some of the best running shoes I’ve ever owned. I used to spend money (around $150) on the ASICS GT series but these shoes have proved to be better for me at 1/3rd the cost. I run exclusively on concrete and I’ve been running with this shoe about a year, zero injuries or issues, and the shoes hold up remarkably well over time. So yeah, I’d say give them a try.
Question:	How are these on concrete?? Moderate running, About 4-5 miles about 3-4 days a week
Answer:	Honestly I’m not sure. I bought these for rehab I’m a new amputee and needed to make sure I had a good durable shoe to get me through all the work I’m going to need into strengthening myself. Sorry again.

User questions & answers

Question:	How much space should be between the end of my longest toe and the end of the shoe
Answer:	I wear a US size 10 1/2, and ordered the 42 M EUR/9.5-10 D(M), which fits great.
Question:	I wear a size 41 for the Komodosport. It fits well. Do I hv to go one size down as mentioned in the website? My foot length is between 10-1/4 n
Answer:	Yes. One should be wearing 5 fingers toe socks too when using VFF shoes. I do not think you can properly wear VFF shoes If you wear normal socks. As for winter, I will suggest you use 5 fingers winter or thicker socks. Injinji does carry such products (Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with Injinj). You may search from the internet for other brands that made 5 fingers tie socks meant for winter.
Question:	I have 2 questions. Should the vibram be always used with a five fingures toe socks? Can i use this in winter
Answer:	I've been running in these for about 12 years now, and I will never go back to regular shoes. I've run several full marathons and a bunch of halfs and tons of 10ks. Personally I would plan on training in them for a minimum of 9 months before trying to run a full in them. You have to get used to being sure to plant your foot directly under you as you run and NOT having any kind of heel strike.
Question:	Has anyone worn these for a full marathon
Answer:	Mine are orange/pink, which is neon.

Question:	The soles look like they have vent holes in the bottom from the picture. Do these shoes let water in through those vents? Or do your feet stay dry
Answer:	The shoe provides stability and support for the foot outward action while walking
Question:	Is this a good shoe for supination
Answer:	I would definitely agree with another Amazon customer. This shoe is not at all like the gel venture 5 which i still have and love...the 6 is simply too hard!
Question:	How do these compare to gel venture
Answer:	It is the 3rd pair of those that my husband is using. He runs with them every day, and even uses them for Marathons, Triathlons... His longest toes touches the end of the shoe and it is not a problem... Good luck !

User questions & answers

Question:	In my regular running shoes I buy 11 which is a half size larger than my casual shoes. What size should I get in these
Answer:	If you’re talking about over rocks, the sole will probably be too flexible for running. Dirt trails and boulders should be just fine. The sole is just really flexible so you’d have to take terrain into account.
Question:	Is the sole hard enough to trail run? I’m looking for a cheap vibram sole alternative
Answer:	I bought size 10, same as my foot size. Some shoes I need to buy 10.5. But for this I kept the same size(10) and fits perfect.
Question:	I am used to Vibrams, but this year their sizes all run small, so my size 9 foot would be a size 10 shoe. So this is size
Answer:	A zero drop running shoe has the same amount of material beneath the foot at both the heel and toe of the shoe. There is no angle. They are designed to support a more natural running gait and discourage heel striking.
Question:	What exactly is a zero drop running shoe
Answer:	I have daily wide feet and I faced the same issue question.. The men's size 9 wide / 2E works for me. I am not away of any other Brooks options with respect to width. Order them and if they are not right for you, simply return them before you use them.

Product features
