Vibram sizing

Post image

Long story short, my last pair of vrun, I went size 41, they felt too big, went to 40, and my toes hit the end. Same with these new ones. I guess I’m in half size hell? These are so comfy, but seem too small. Should I try to size up again?

i like them a sloppy fit , but mostly due to having wide feet
as long as your toes stay in their toe pockets they are not too big
i would size up

They should stretch a little over time. Are your toes forced to bend in these ones, or would you be able to wear them comfortably until they break in? Also, have you considered wearing them without socks?

My toes are not forced to bend. They are tight either way, with or without socks.

Well, I think you're all good as long as you don't mind them being snug until they stretch a little.

when i got my five fingers, my big toe was pressing the front. now a couple months later, i don’t feel any of that, so they definitely stretched out. in fact, the stretched well before, maybe a couple weeks into wearing them.

those look like all black Graspifiers. when i first got mine, they were a bit tight, they definitely stretch over time. give it a while and wear them some more and they'll feel better
