I've heard that the Vibram shoes wear out really fast, as in, they get actual holes in them. The minimalist thing never really made sense to me though, so I can't speak from experience. At least with maximalist shoes, you can still use them with worn out midsoles.
- Marsymars 7y agoI tried the Vibram FiveFingers once and didn't like them, so can't speak to them, but my understanding is that they tend to be of lowish durability because there's so much more stitching to go wrong and potential rubbing with individual toes. I wear minimalist shoes from Vivobarefoot and Merrell. I had one casual pair with a thinner/softer sole that wore through in a couple years, but my active pairs' soles have all lasted 5+ years.
