The ,
gucci handbags outletVibram Five Fingers Speedcould be described simultaneously as both a retro-styled sneaker (or trainer) that features a mesh-like upper, steel eyelets and piped laces, subdued but slick Vibram branding,
Gucci Women Sneakers Middle Line Beige/Brown 009, and simple black-and-white coloring
and a foot friendly,
Gucci Men Sneakers Low Line Brown 083, minimalist,
gucci womens sneakers, toe-loving
foot glove.
The foundation at the base of the
Vibram Five Fingers Speed is the running-specific padded sole that we've already gotten a good look at via the
Vibram Five Fingers Bikila. This sole features little padded platforms that are beefiest at the forefoot. Additionally,

Gucci Men Sneakers Middle Line White/Black/Beige 009, the Speed has a devoted polyurethane* arch covering.
Notably, from my initial testing of the Speed as compared to the Bikila,
Gucci Women Boots Red 012, it seems that the Speed
does not have the extra 3mm polyurethane insole at the forefoot, which means that you get a bit more ground feel in
the Five Fingers Speed as compared to the Bikila. The Speed does feature the same dri-lex fabric on the footed,
Gucci Trolley Black 006, which is quite comfortable.
As far as having a laced, tongued
Vibram Five Fingers Speed go,
gucci boots, it seems the Speeds are no easier to put on than Bikilas, but if I had to speculate,
Gucci Men Sneakers Low Line Brown/Beige 075, I'd say that the "customizability" of fit afforded via laces should make the Speed a comfier fit for individuals with higher insteps. Really,
Gucci Men Loafers Brown/Beige 005, a custom-fit upper as compared to a limited stretch upper
The addition of a padded tongue and padded collar do make the Speed feel a bit more shoe-like on the top of the foot, so you won't get as much of an airy feel as with Classics or even KSOs. As far as finish is concerned,
Gucci Women Sneakers Middle Line GreyWhite 008, my initial appraisal of the Speeds is that they have a nice quality to them. We'll see how they hold up over time
Finally,
gucci boots, the
Vibram Five Fingers Speed are,
gucci collector, as I've come to expect,
gucci men, comfortable on my bare feet and has a feel not unlike the Bikila. The mesh-upper is smooth on the inside and the seams from the tongue are "there" but pretty harmless — at least for casual wear. The Speeds size similarly to Bikilas or KSOs.
