The typical human foot is an anatomical marvel of evolution with 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles,…read moreand hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. Like the rest of the body, to keep our feet healthy, they need to be stimulated and exercised. I bought a pair in Holland, MI. It took me the longest ever to decide which one and what color. It never happens with shoes and ME. Yes the shoes do look scary. Especially the black kangaroo leather ones. So I decided to settle for the least obvious ones in light grey. I still get a lot of attention simply because it does look strange. It's different alright. Putting your toes in all at once was definitely a task. It just won't go in together-it was a fight. Years of high heels and other culprits made my toes dumb. Yeah dumb not numb ;) It wants to immediately curl into a ball and get ready to stuff itself into a tight space. At first I was afraid to step on even just the street outside the store. But once I got started I was very happy with it. Now I am walking all over the place with it. My toes are more in its natural state now. Relaxed. I'm giving it four stars simply because it wasn't able to stand the rigors of my backpacking trip. It was just simply made for a light trek or non granite types. Don't get me wrong. It offers a lot of protection just not enough cushion for what I carry in weight when I go on backpacking trips. I bought the new model called Trek. It offers more traction and more coverage. I was very excited to try it on a much simpler trail that is more suited to a day hike. It worked very well with my rocky hike on Inspiration Point. I also started wearing the five fingers socks with it and it is a much better experience. For an avid hiker my feet is very sensitive. SO any possible hot spots is fixed by wearing the socks. I am convinced that this is very comfortable and healthy for you feet. Not sexy at all. But hey you're either born sexy/hot or not. No sexy shoes will make you sexy! So buy one and stop stuffing your toes when you don't have to. My next pair will be the brown Kangaroo Leather. Price on a pair of VFF?$100+tax.

Being in the fitness industry I had done my research and drilled everyone I knew who had them to…read moresee if they were right for me. I got 50/50 reviews, some people like them, some found them to be "a waste of money" (note the quotations, I really did hear that a couple of times from people using them as slippers at this point because they disliked them). I run, I teach Yoga and Pilates. For me it was a no-brainer, no matter what other people said, it just seemed that they make perfect sense for me to own them. I carefully measured my feet per the instructions and ordered a pair. They came a couple of weeks later and I was sad to see that they were way too big. No problem, the exchange policy is pretty clear and easy. Less than an hour after getting them they were on the way back, $9 later for return shipping, with delivery confirmation. After checking to see if they had gotten the shipment I waited 8 business days after the date of receipt and sent an email asking about my exchange. I got an email basically telling me that it took at least 10 business days after getting them to RE-SHIP. Ok, fine. 3 weeks after sending them I get my exchange and they too had about 1/2" extra space in my right heel. The shoes didn't fit either. Again, I re-measured and this size was technically a size too small per their instructions yet were still too big so I again sent them back and requested a size smaller. Another $9 later with delivery confirmation. They got the shipment on Feb 19, a Saturday. After 5 BUSINESS DAYS - around the 28th we send an email inquiring about the status. No answer. We send 3 more emails. No answer. Today we send another to just about everyone in the company asking for the status of my return. It wasn't a nasty email but we are frustrated it is TWELVE BUSINESS days after they received the shoes, all we want is a shipment number or to let us know when we can expect them. No answer other than a refund. We didn't ask for one, we just wanted to know where my shoes are and were given no explanation as to where they are or why they just gave us a refund. Horrible customer service at a time when people think twice before spending their money. They obviously don't want us as customers and have no interest in customer service per the appalling response. No problem. I have plenty of clients, plenty of people who respect what I have to say and what I can recommend for their training in running, cross-training, triathlons, Yoga, Pilates and honestly I have never had an issue with Asics, Nike and even actual bare feet for some of the classes, so I guess this product won't be one I recommend because I can't do it - I would never recommend a product from a company who treats customers this way.

However, the instructions that came with the bike rack were poorly written and had hand drawn pictures. The video was very misleading as well. The bike rack worked on one trip, but on another trip the rack kept falling off and draggin out bikes. The rack caused a damage to our car. The reason I am giving one start to Alle is their horribale customer service. During my interaction with them they implied taht I had wrong car model, wrong bikes, and did not follow their instructions. They were talking about placement "3 inches lower". Nothing that specific was mentioned in their instruction, Despite numerous requests for refund and a conversation with a superisor, I received nothing from them. Not even an apology.
