a) you should really buy your first pair at a store, if possible
b) they will take some getting used to, and
c) once you're used to them, you will never want to wear anything else on your feet.
If you're already a Vibram convert, these are just another stellar addition to the line. They're so freaking cute and quite feminine, and fit as expected--same size as the other two styles I own. They fit a bit lower around the sides of my foot, if that makes sense--kind of like a no-show sock liner, but not so low that they slip off at all.
The webbing in the middle is a nice, thick elastic that holds your foot securely but not in a death grip.
I am plagued with a billion different foot problems, and it's incredibly difficult to find shoes that don't hurt my feet in one way or another. Generally, I can't walk longer than a mile or so before I start limping. Today, I got these in the mail, put them on, and headed straight out the door for what ended up being an 8-mile hike. Pebbles, sharp rocks, super muddy mud, freezing water, grass, you name it.... and I didn't think about my feet ONCE. No blisters, no hot spots or aching heels... just a perfect, perfect shoe that fits my foot like a second skin. LOVE EM!
I went to a shoe store that sold vibrams in order to be sized. I was sized at 39. And the one shoe they had in stock in that size fit perfectly. When looking at purchasing this model directly from vibram, the company specifically suggest going a size higher for this model. I purchased a 40, and it was large but doable on my foot. I then purchased the 39 to size compare intending to send one back. The 39 was a perfect fit. Amazon was great in handling the return, which I appreciate as this is the first time I've purchased shoes from them.
As to the shoe itself, it has a very thin sole, with minimal tread (compared to the trek which I also purchased). This helps my foot move more naturally, but provides minimal cushion. Long days of shopping on hard floors and my feet are tired. I don't notice this with surfaces with more give (ie grass).
The toes have a weird design that makes them look taller (not longer). The fabric on the top of the toys stands up almost boxy like. This was way more noticeable on the 40, where I felt I could have fur an extra you're on top of my other one, but is mostly unnoticable with the correct size. The pinky toe is a hair short and for the first week I was surprised to feel it butting up at the end of the toe pocket, especially because my pinky toe is rather short.
I expected to have problems with the strapping on top of the foot, but I never notice it.
The only other thing to note is that when putting the shoe on I need to run my finger along the sides because the elastic flips down (particularly where the straps meet the side). One corrected I don't have any problems as I wear the shoes.
I love these and use them when I want to dress up a little bit. Most dress shoes hurt my feet, but these look nice enough for church dress or casual dressy. I'll still pull out my heels for super fancy events, but anything less and these are on my feet.

Je met habituellement du 40/41 en chaussure, j'ai suivi les commentaire précédent qui conseillé de prendre une taille au dessus, j'ai donc commandé une taille 42 et elle sont nickel.
My daughter won’t be seen out with me wearing them, she calls them my hobbit feet, but when she isn’t with me I wear them out all the time! Ok, they aren’t the prettiest shoes, but who wants to wear uncomfortable?
I bought a size too small at first, but once I got the right size, perfect. I’m between sizes and it isn’t unusual for me to buy the wrong size first! There was no problem returning the wrong ones.
Auf der Suche nach einem Nachfolger bin ich auf die Alitza Loop gestoßen.
Da schon die Signa eher klein ausfallen, habe ich auch hier Größe 38 bestellt - normalerweise trage ich Größe 36/37.
Selbst die 38 sind sehr knapp geschnitten, Socken könnte ich hier keinsfalls tragen.
Andererseits sind das ja auch eher Sommerschuhe, und in Sandalen trägt man ja auch normalerweise keine Socken.
Und die Schuhe müssen schließlich eng anliegen, um jede Bewegung mitzumachen.
Die Sohle ist dünn, aber nicht zu dünn - auch auf Schotter kann man gut laufen, ohne daß sich die spitzen Steine in die Fußsohle bohren.
Allerdings schieben sich die Zehen (noch?) nicht immer ganz perfekt in die kleinen "Hülsen", so daß es manchmal unangenehm zwischen den Zehen drückt.
Vielleicht gibt sich das noch bei längerem Tragen.
Optisch ist der Schuh sehr gelungen - die "Zehen" sieht man erst auf den zweiten Blick, durch die "Schnürung" ist der Schuh fast schon stadtfein. Für den Wald fast zu schade.
Die Innensohle ist eine Art weiches Velours, sehr angenehm beim Reinschlüpfen.
Ich hoffe, dieses Modell gibt es noch eine Weile, denn ich würde die Alitza wieder kaufen, wenn sie "durch" sind.
