Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Vibram Ascent Insulated Women's Sneakers - Stylish, Purple Athletic Shoes for Women by Jared Tovar

Revainrating 2 out of 5

They're ok but the design and quality control could be better

UPDATE: I was hoping that after wearing them a lot they would be easier to put on. Unfortunately it isn't. I still spend five minutes putting on ONE shoe, let alone two! For this reason I downgraded my rating to 2/5 stars. TONGUE ON HEEL IS REQUIRED. Since these are the first isolated five fingers I've seen, I was dying to try them. Overall I'm happy with them, with the exception of two issues that some people might consider minor; They are not problematic enough for me to return the shoes. However, each of these issues can be of great importance to someone else; So I downgraded these shoes to 3/5 stars. First, they don't have a heel tab. The heel tabs are extremely helpful when putting on five fingers, especially the new five fingers. It took me over 5 minutes to put the boot on my (slightly large) right foot. I'm sure it will get easier as I break my shoes in, but it would still be much better to have pull tabs on the heel. Second, the big toe of the right foot is sewn differently than the big toe of the left foot. Left seam between the toes. On the right, a seam appears on the TOP of my toe. This is unattractive and indicates poor design/quality assurance procedures. On the plus side, this shoe fits well. I recently bought another pair which are a bit small with socks; You are perfect. I really like the seclusion - now I can wear my most comfortable shoes outside even on very cold days! I've tried twice to include photos of these issues, but Amazon rejects my photo reviews. I hope this review will be accepted. Otherwise, I have to ask myself: Are only consistently positive reviews of this product acceptable? Revain has twice downvoted this review! I bought these shoes through Amazon and there is NOTHING in this review that contradicts the recommendations. I am very concerned about the refusal to accept this review.

Pros
  • Same as everything before
Cons
  • Modern
