Vibram FiveFingers Women's Maiori Water Shoe

I did not realize until I received these shoes today (saw on Vibram website) that these are considered water sport shoes. I actually use my Vibram Classics to swim in at the local "Y". This is my 5th pair of Vibrams, all Classic except for one pair of the Performa Classic. I gave one pair away as it was too small. I wear a 41. I've hesitated to buy any other style because I was fearful it would be difficult to get my big feet and crooked toes into any other style. It took some effort with the left foot, but wow, when I got it on I was amazed at the absolute comfort! I've been wearing my Classics around the house everyday to help keep my toes straight and separated, and will wear the Maiori now around the house to help keep my feet warm as well. I could not get the Maiori on with my toe socks on, so I'm wearing without the socks as I do the Classics in the summer. The Maiori and the Performa (all leather) fit like a glove, whereas the Classics leave some heel space, and tend to slide off when I'm swimming. The Maiori are comfortable, lightweight, and soft and cushiony to my feet. Unlike the other Vibrams the 4th and 5th toes are slightly webbed/jointed together. They fit just above my ankle, without any gaps, but are not binding. I am loving these shoes!

This would have been an excellent shoe if it fit a little better. I followed the Vibram video tutorial on how to measure your foot to find your ideal Vibram size and looked at several different conversion size charts before I ordered, and still it ended up being small. I was not able to return it as I had already taken off the tag.I used these shoes while lifting, and I'm glad I decided to go the practically-barefoot route. I wore very flat lifting sneakers before, but it seems being nearly barefoot makes a big difference, especially deadlifting.

I really wanted these shoes to work out but my left foot did not. My right foot and all its toes were happy in all the right toe slots but I could not get my little toe to go into the little toe spot on the left foot, it kept insisting to go in with the ring toe slot.They are really neat shoes but i had to return them. Maybe one day I will try these shoes again with a different style.

I love five finger shoes. I have a high arch, so arch support isn't a problem for me. I bought some microfiber toe socks for these, and they do make the toes too tight. I am able to where them with other five finger shoes, however. These were quite comfortable, hardly knew I was wearing them. :)

I've been using the vibram Kso for a while now. Finally decided to try this one out. OMG why didn't I get 'em sooner!!!I like these better. In my opinion these are more comfortable👌😊

Beautiful shoes, just what I was looking for. Only the size was too small for me. look forward to getting them on the right size. The return process was very smooth and quick. Great customer service!

These are amazing watershoes, the hybrid shoe can be used in and out of the water. They really do have that barefoot feel. I like that they are made of neoprene to keep feet toasty when in chilly water/climates. I have used them alot this summer and they give me nice grip when riding on my stand up paddle board.

I don't recommend these if you have hammer toes. I work up a sweat every time I try to fit them over my 4th and 5th pinky-toes. They make really good boat shoes though because of the neoprene tops and rubber bottoms.
