The G-oone-rinch
They've grown on me, they've not lost their stiffness but they are comfy and fairly lightweight yet sturdy enough to deal with my extra bulk these days.
I'd still prefer something a little more flexible for the summer though.

So my trusty vibrams are poorly.... cut inner foot where the lining has rubbed away (& I have a bunion which is probably pressing on the stitching) and now my 2nd toe is cut across the top. So need new shoes but can’t get the same model and I know depending on models the sizing is different - I have some v-runs they’re ok for gym work but too snug to run in.
And there is just too much choice!! Trying not to be swayed by a pretty colour - I can get to lain black for £30 less than the pretty pink or blue ones 😂

Argh!!! I needed new vibrams so ordered 6 pairs from Amazon prime wardrobe.
My
Current ones are 5.5/6 I ordered:
5/5.5
5.5
6
Came in EU 36-40 all too small but 40 too big they were v-trail
I ordered another pair from Start Fitness again a 5.5 came as a EU 36 or 3.5 UK size.
Figured I need 39 so rang start fitness he said I need size 6. Only size 6 they had was trek ascent. He said they should e same & ideal for road and trail. Champion.
Size 6 ordered & arrived correct size - result!! had them on in the house felt great. Went for a walk and I think they’re a tad small.
I am pulling my hair out why does the size vary between the sizes.
If they’ll even take them back it’s costing a fortune in return fees and people wonder why Amazon win!

What a pain GC. EU 36 would be a nasty surprise for you...5/5.5 would be a North American size. That's my size in vibrams. I had fun figuring out what size I was when I was in Canada a few years ago. Fortunately the shop had a good stock so I could find out what size I really was!

I'm glad my feet settled on a brand of shoe where I can just order a UK 5 and know it'll be the right size.

When I bought all my vibrant I had to measure from heel to end of longest toe then it gave a size guide in the naked ape website which size you needed in which style you chose.
My classic were a different size to my KSO

I bought my KSOs first, then classic ones from Sport Pursuit on sale. Then a few more pairs from SP in sales, along with that other link you sent me a couple of years ago beanie.

They are very comfy shoes!  When I have some time, I will start running a bit more in them again.
