I use only the thinnest of the vffs these days. I used to use the El-X, now I'm using KSOs and the Graspifiers. Those two are so thin that I can actually wrap my foot around rocks and roots on my trail runs. Those heavier ones, like the Treks I used to have, were so heavy that I couldn't bend them with my toes, instead I was just pushing the sole away and warping the entire shoe. I had to be standing on something to "grasp" it. I will say that if you're using them to compensate for the cold, the thin little ones I use do nothing. You'll still freeze.

Assuming you are overpronating, try Vibram Fivefingers or something else with a thinner / firmmer sole, narrow heel, and wide toe box. The video below explains why. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv11eo4DslI&t=80s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv11eo4DslI&t=80s)

5 fingers are good but bear in mind they have no stubtoe protection, so a stray rock in the path can really mess up your day (ask me how I know). I’d favor a shoe with a toe box, like vivos.

Because of her bunion the best shoes will be vibram five fingers. It’s because all of their shoes have a stretchy cloth over the bunion area and it still keeps the toes in proper alignment.

No Vibram five fingers in the top 25…? Never got an ankle injury because of the quick feeling when your about to get injured

Spent a lot of time in military boots (and personally purchased approved footwear). Never found a boot that didn’t kill my feet one way or another. Switched to trail runners (or similar for winter) and never looked back. Switched to Zero Drop trail shoes and found them a lot more comfortable Switched again to 5 Fingers and use them exclusively now, except winter.
