What vibram shoe should i buy

Flatter heel than other models, ideal for the strict barefoot purist! Vibram upgraded their TrekSport edition and rebadged it Trek Ascent. The newly crowned Trek Ascent from Vibram Fivefingers scores very highly on every review site we checked.

One customer lamented no issues with wet grass, moss, mud, loose rocks or even paved roads. A lot of the plaudits are due to the 8mm thick soles their KSO shoe has just 5mm making for incredible grip and a pull toggle lacing system gives more support on top of the foot. Throw all these factors into the mix and the Trek Ascent would be our go-to Fivefingers pair for hiking and walking in the hills.

Super lightweight and literally fit the foot like a glove. Breathable mesh make these ideal for indoor use. This feels like a strange conundrum, barefoot shoes for an indoor gym? These Fivefinger things are the domain of the outdoors — surely? The breathable mesh on the top of the foot also bodes well for sweaty indoor use, ensuring dryness and comfort during a workout.
