Dude, I have THREE pairs of Vivo BF's that I've had to stop wearing... The outside of my right pinkie-toe rubs on the inside of all three pairs.

It breaks my heart.

They were perfectly comfortable when I first got them, but I guess my feet have widened in the mean time?

I really miss wearing them (and having a minimalist shoe I can wear "out in public" and/or to work...

Which part of your feet gives you the most problems? Are you looking for lots of width in the toebox, or in the midfoot area, or somewhere else? For myself, while I have found the toebox on Vivobarefoots to be alright for me, the midfoot on the Evo is a little too narrow for me on my left foot.

I am a woman and I have a pair of the Lucy model.

They are wide when judged against 'normal shoes', but my feet are still wider than the shoes. You can look at some photos I uploaded by clicking here and then moving to the Photos tab.

I would love it if they did these in widths, since I understand that if they make them to fit my wide feet, then they won't fit most people.

The only ligitimate complaint is that the toe box does not allow natural healthy positioning of the toes. Your toes should continue in a straight line from the metatarsal bone they are connected to. This is not possible in the big toe of these shoes, the shoe curves in at the big toe. Although the toe box isn't pointy, its too rounded I think it is needs to be squared out even more.

For the time being the only shoes I really love are my Vibram Five Fingers. They look so goofy, but my toes are very happy in them. I'd be thrilled to find shoes that my big toe can go straight in, but no luck so far.

I've seen a couple of photos of Terra Plana's spring models for running shoes, the ultra's toe box looks much squarer. There's not out yet, but when they come out I'm going to look into that.
