The Bikila LS offers a closed speed lace system to accommodate a wider foot or higher instep. It shares the same revolutionary platform as the Bikila, featuring a Dri-Lex covered 3mm polyurethane insole (thickest under the ball) and a 4mm anatomical pod outsole design. This combination provides superior plating protection and distributes forefoot impact without compromising essential ground feedback. The Bikila LS’ upper is constructed of Coconut Active Carbon for natural breathability. An athletic padded collar and topline, 3M reflective surfaces, and abrasion resistant PU toe protection add to Bikila LS’ road worthy design. The defining feature of the Bikila LS’ is its closed quick lace system assuring a custom fit for a wider range of foot types

"Runners asked for a lace-up model, and Vibram has responded with exactly that. The shoe builds upon the original ground-breaking design of the Vibram FiveFingers Bikila, introduced last year as the company’s first model built specifically for barefoot running; 'for a more natural running experience,' as the company’s own website states the matter..."

Great Product -
I use it to work out at home doing cardio kickbox and weights. The lace and wider base allows for a more specific fit.
Pros

- Support
Cons
- Differant sizing
- Lace too long
- Lack of color
Best Uses
- Everything
This is my third fivefinger pair and I absolute love it! I have the classic smartwool and the sprint, and this one provides the best support and fits the best. It is a little bit more hard to get on than the classic and sprint, but still worth the struggle. I tried the normal Bikila with the velcro strap and it did not fit as well as the LS. The sizing is different from all the other types so make sure to check the sizing chart.
Pros
Cons
Best Uses
- Trail running
I trail run 3 miles every other day. I have never used anything but regular running shoes. I had to learn to run more gingerly and mindful and land on the ball of my foot, not my heal. Once I got over the inital pain of new and very sore calve muscles, I had no pain. In fact, I used to have hip pain, but don't any longer. I wear these everytime I run and I'm really happy with them. I'm 33 and very physically fit and do yoga too, so not sure how these would work for a beginner with bad form. Also, when they start to stink I just toss them in the wash.
Pros
- Easy to clean
- Great grip
- Light Weight
Cons
- Get really smelly
- Heavy objects hurt toes
Best Uses
- Circut workouts
- Hiking
- Pilates
- Running
- Yoga

I purchased these for my Husband as a Birthday gift!! He loves and wears them almost everyday....especially in the GYM!!
[...] The vibrams are awesome to walk in just like having memory foam under your feet!!
Pros
- Easy to slip on
- Stylish
- Super comfortable
Cons
- Not very snug
Best Uses
- Run
- Trail
- Walk
These are my favorite Vibrams and I one 5 pair. They are the easiest to slip on, they are not so tight in the ankle, and you can wear them all day. Very comfortable. Only downside is they are not snug like my KSOs so you do get sand and small grit in your shoe. But for the comfort, style and ease to slip on, I can live with that.
Pros
- I don't even feel them on
- So comfortable
- They fit like a glove
Cons
Best Uses
- Everyday wear
The most comfortable my feet have ever been! I wear them from early Spring to late Winter. Haven't ventured out in the snow with them yet since I'm not a winter person. Wouldn't trade them for anything except another pair. I own 5 pairs already! Nuff said.
Pros
- Comfortable
- Durable
- Easy to clean
Cons
- Hard to get on
Best Uses
- Biking
- Hiking
- Running
- Walking
These shoes are absolutely wonderful! I wear them daily for everything. I especially love the way they perform while I'm walking, running, biking and hiking. I could tell immediately that my stride was much more natural after just a couple days of wearing them. Some people have mentioned that they get an odor since they are generally worn without socks. I haven't had a problem. I put medicated powder on my feet before putting on the shoes. Getting them on at first can be tricky but within a couple days they slide right on. I love these shoes!
