Vibram five fingers vs other barefoot shoes? (lemmy.one)

I just got the V-Trail 2.0, but after trying them on indoors, I experienced that they were not that flexible compared to my Xero HFS. Will my VFFs break in or are VFF:s not really worth it in comparison to other barefoot shoes? My toes are not crammed and I use correct toes as often as I can. I have used only barefoot shoes now for a few years.

V-trails are just super stiff compared to most VFFs. I owned one pair and found I didn't like them at all vs the others. The v-trek is great, and for casual indoor wear and errands I really dig their casual CVT hemp and leather shoes - they've got enough midsole to be really comfortable, I reach for those rather than slippers or sandals a lot these days.
