VibramWomen's FiveFingers V-Aqua Water Shoe

Great value, very comfortable, sleek, and they fit almost invisible. This is my 2nd pair in 7 years. I'd still have my first pair but my dog ate 1 of them. I'm not 1 to have stuff on my feet,I have found myself falling asleep with them on. It's like walking completely bare foot. You can feel everything the grass between your toes, the slickness of the mud squishing. I've hiked swam, rock climbed, I've done a lot in the FiveFingers aqua shoes. As long as you keep them from your puppy they will last you years. They are definitely quality built for ruggedness for all you do in life. Definitely recommend hands down. Just a little update, I accidentally ordered the wrong size when I ordered these. This company was very understanding, as soon as I ordered the correct size and sent back the ones that were too big, I had the new size within 5 days. Much earlier than expected. I thank the busy folks at Vibram for getting these to before my vacation.

This has been one of my favorite shoe purchases so far. After going on vacation to Costa Rica and realizing what terribly sensitive feet I have, I decided to look for water shoes that would suit future beach travels and protect my feet in rocky areas. I dedicated a significant amount of time to comparing water shoes online in order to get the best bang for my buck and this shoe, without a doubt, is that. I've never been apart of the 5-fingers club until now and I'm glad I finally joined. It only took a few days to get accustomed to walking in these and everyday I feel my feet getting stronger while the experience grows more pleasant. My feet feel the ground comfortably, allowing tactile reception without enduring painful sensations from rough terrains. Something worth mentioning is that the grip on these are AMAZING. I am able to climb wet, rocky surfaces without a problem so I imagine using them as boating shoes/surfing, would also be ideal. I was sure to use the sizing chart and I successfully ordered the right pair for me. Keep in mind that you will need to measure from the heel to your longest toe. I have had these shoes for about a week and a half but I live near a beach and use these practically every day, so I will post updates if anything changes--but I don't expect it to!

I love these shoes. These were my second pair, but different style. They never disappoint. Lightweight, durable, comfy, great value for the money, grip well & my toes each have their own support. There really is no substitute for 5-toe shoes. Saying 5-finger makes no sense. Ordering another pair because the 7 is snug.

I ordered a new pair of water shoes but received a clearly used pair with worn soles, visible signs of wear, and a terrible odor. Extremely disappointed, as this is not what I expected from a product listed as new. I’ve started a return, but I wanted to share my experience to inform other buyers.

Amazing shoes. I wish I had bought them sooner. They fit true to size and you can adjust the heel and foot straps. I wore them kayaking followed by a short hike and they were perfect. I would not wear them hiking on hard ground with lots of rocks (the sole isn't that thick) but they are great on wet/slippery rocks or if you are hiking through mud. For the people who complained about little bits of sand getting in through the drainage holes ... perhaps you should not go in the ocean. The shoes dry very quickly and they don't weigh you down in the water because of the drainage holes.

Shoes a little big. I love the lightness is this shoe. However, I am a little concerned with the construction of these with my older pairs. I've been wearing this brand for over 5 years and feel the quality is not of the same standard as my older ones. I've noticed this in the last 4 or so pairs that I've purchased. The toes definitely don't fit as well as my earlier pairs. They seem longer and not as cleanly constructed. Terrified that the quality is slowly disappearing. I wear nothing else. But the aqua v has restored a little of my concern.

These fit great and look great. I wear size 9 shoe and ordered size 41. I pondered over whether to get the size 40 (8.5 to 9) or 41 (9 to 9.5) but when I measured my foot it was 10.5 inches so according to Vibram's size chart it would be a 43, so stick with the US size chart. A 43 would be way too big. The toes can stretch a little. The small toe takes some getting use to for me. I have flat narrow feet but those with wider feet can loosen the top and side straps if they need more room. Product seems to be durable. I haven't taken them in the water yet though.

I bought a pair of Vibrams about 6 years ago and they were incredibly comfortable. I do Yacht cleaning/detailing for 8-9 months out of the year, meaning I spend most of my week on wet boats. I was using my old KSOs, until the treat got too worn out to be safe on a boat. These KSOs have been through everything with me. I would leave them on my car to dry out after using them, forget that they were there and start driving with them, They were even run over by numerous vehicles after falling off my car 3 separate times on the high way.. each time returning to me safely and in tact. I was never expecting that much of these new shoes, but I can tell you that Vibram has declined in quality. The materials are cheaper and they are just not as comfortable on my feet. They rub against my achilles, while being too loose on my heel. The hole does not fit closely to my ankle, but rather very loose. Not to mention that I first bought the wrong size (too large) because the conversion chart is off. I am an 8-8.5, but I ended up needing a 38, which says that its for a 7-7.5.I like the drains in the bottom, the grip works well and the silicone is a nice touch. So all that to say, they work and I'm not going to slip off the boat. But next time, I'm going for a different shoe.
