Review on Vibram Women's KSO EVO-W: The Ultimate Performance Footwear for Active Women by Oliver Waiker

SIZE - I wear a 7.5 and ordered a KSO Evo in black a size 38. I don't like the idea of wearing every shoe without sandals without socks, so I bought them so you can't wear open toe socks. FIT-Wearing it was torturous at first! I wet my shoes and walked around the house in them, then wet them again when I took them off and stuffed my big toes with clean rags. I've since ordered 39 purple because I was sure the first pair would have to be sent back. I finally managed to stretch the 38 perfectly and they are now my favorite pair of vibes. I've still kept the purple ones and they fit well, but I don't have that great "glove" feel that my black pair have, I really like going barefoot. FUNCTION - This style has a very thin sole that is great for strength training and floor exercises but NOT for OUCH or toe/barefoot walking unless you are experienced. For these purposes I would recommend bikilas with softer coverings. GENERAL - If you can beat the initial break-in period, this is a great shoe for those who want a minimalist style for everyday wear and low-impact exercise. *Photo Info - Side by Side Black and Purple shows the difference in fit between sizes.
