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.

I kept the Mesa trail wp, and the V-Trail, and the Nexus Knit. The V trail were good. The rocks do not hurt anymore. The mesas I won't run in, but walk in the woods in. Lastly the nexus Knit I will use for work. These ones are my absolute favorite.

Congrats on your purchases!

I'm tempted to check out the Ridgeways for the winter, but I'm accumulating quite a bit of shoes, so I'm trying to restrain myself. My Zaqq Hiqes will probably suffice another winter.
