Size Vibram Fivefingers

First of all, it is important to know that you should NEVER just buy the same size as your 'classic' shoes. With classic (hiking) shoes, it is usually recommended to have some extra space. (One finger behind the heel with the shoe open).

Vibram Fivefingers should actually fit like a glove . However, the best way to judge the size is your own comfort level. Does the shoe feel too small or too big? Then it probably is. Keep in mind that every model will fit and feel differently and everyone's feet are shaped differently. Do you feel better in a different size than the tips below recommend? No problem, that's perfectly fine if this feels better for you!

If you follow the tips below, you will have the best chance of ordering the right size Vibram Fivefingers! Are you not sure about your size? Then you can come and try on the shoes in our demo room . Please note! Not all shoes are in stock in this demo room. Does the shoe say 'online only'? Then it is not available in the store.

Determining the correct size Vibram Fivefingers.

The best way to determine the right size Vibram Fivefingers is to measure your feet . Here's how:

  • Place a white sheet of paper on the floor against the wall
  • Now stand on this sheet with both feet, with your heels against the wall.
  • Have someone mark the furthest point from the wall for both feet (usually this is your big or second toe).
  • It is the length of the largest foot that determines your Vibram Fivefingers size.

In our webshop, each size has a length in centimeters. Example: 42 (26.04 - 26.66cm). So if your largest foot measures between 26.04 and 26.66cm, then there is a good chance that you need a 42.

The length of my foot is between 2 sizes

Are you at the very end of a size or even just on the border (for example your foot measures 26.66cm - see example above). Then you should choose the larger size. In our example you would then choose a 43 and not a 42.

How should my Vibram Fivefingers feel?

As discussed above, your new Fivefingers should feel like gloves. With a classic shoe, you often have a good inch or so of extra space between the top of your toes and the top of your shoe. With Vibrams, you want a much more snug fit . Your heel should conform tightly to the heel cup of your shoe, while your toes fit comfortably in each 'toe pocket'.

Do your toes (softly) touch the tops of the toe shoe? This is not a problem at all. As long as the toes only lightly touch this top (so not pushing against it) and do not restrict movement or cause discomfort, this is still a correct fit .

You have 30 days to return an order at IEDEREEN LOOPT, but of course this is only possible for shoes that are in perfect condition (without dirt or wear). We therefore advise you not to go outside with your Vibrams right away . Try them inside first and possibly do some gymnastics exercises to feel whether your shoes fit OK. You can test your shoes by walking or jumping on the spot, doing a few lunges, ... Do your shoes and toes remain comfortable? Then we are probably the right size and you can start with the activities for which you bought them.

Do your Vibram Fivefingers feel loose? Do you have to 'hold' your shoes with your toes or does the shoe slide off your heel? Then you can first try to tighten your laces a bit more (for the models with laces). Do they still feel too loose? Then you better exchange them for a smaller size.

If the Fivefingers feel very tight (along the sides) or if your toes are squeezed together, it is better to choose a larger size.

Finally, there are people with very small toes. Do your toes not completely fill the toes of the Vibram Fivefingers? Then this certainly does not have to be a problem, unless your toe(s) do not reach the 'toe pockets' at all. In that case, the shoes will never be comfortable. Maybe this means that Fivefingers are not the right shoes for you.

What about women with wide feet?

Of course, not everyone has the same feet and sometimes it can be interesting for a woman to choose a men's model. The only difference (apart from the colour) between a women's and men's model is that the men's models are slightly longer and wider. Conversely, for men with small/narrow feet, it can certainly be a solution to choose a women's model.

And what about socks?

Of course you can and may also wear Vibram Fivefingers with socks. The choice here is personal. Of course, with toe shoes you should choose toe socks such as INJINJI . Keep in mind that socks add about 1mm of length to your foot (or 2mm for the thicker models such as the Injinji Outdoor Midweight ).

One last tip

With the above tips you are already a long way ahead. However, keep in mind that each model has its own fit. A model such as the Vibram Fivefingers Trek Ascent Insulated, for example, you should choose a size larger and is slightly narrower than other models due to the extra padding.
