Review on Enhance Your Running Performance with Vibram Women's Spyridon MR Elite Running Shoe by Maalik Harris

Very difficult to put on as the top strap doesn't stretch at all but it's worth the initial struggle! They have excellent protection throughout the sole (including the arch, unlike the Vibram water boots which only have ball of foot and heel protection leaving the arch vulnerable) from sharp rocks/branches/brambles as well as a toe guard to prevent impact . I wear them in the water and on land and they are the same for every environment. They're not waterproof if you want to keep your feet dry in winter, but they dry quickly so are great if you're in water and mud on purpose. These are my first running shoes that will NOT let sand/mud/dust through! They give my foot "barefoot" flexibility without fear of barefoot injuries. I wear them in the garden, kayaking, bouldering, hiking, in my workshop, etc. Putting them on only gets a little easier with practice, but once they're on it's like being barefoot invincible!
