"Echoing sentiments of all previous reviewers. I immediately knew they were fakes because the stitching was already falling apart (before I put them on). I returned them unworn to Mountsport and they pretended that they never received them. When I confronted them with the tracking number, they said the shoes were worn out and not returnable. DO NOT BUY FROM MOUNTSPORT!!!"
"I too was fooled and ended up buying a fake pair of shoes from this company. The shoes fell apart in three work outs and Vibram informed me that they are fakes."
"Wish I'd checked the ratings here before purchasing. The "Vibram" shoes are imitations, inferior materials & won't process returns."
"The shoes arrived. They are FAKE, and cheap looking. and do not fit correctly. I am nor trying to return these shoes and they are sending me forms that require me to print out the form, complete it by hand, then scan it, then send it to them in an email, only to receive instructions on how to return the product. I hope they rot in hell."
"Ditto as the rest I own 6 pair of vibrums and the shoes were way too small. The size was off. No clear way to contact them and no return address to send them back to.
This just blows."
"Like the previous reviewers I found out the hard way that this company is selling fakes. I should have been suspicious when they wouldn't take credit cards and forced me to use PayPal. Even though PayPal has a 45 day refund policy if you receive fakes, this was useless because it took over 3 weeks to get the shoes from Hong Kong and over 3 weeks to attempt to return them. Once my son determined the shoes were fake (shoes were way too tight), I was promised a refund if I returned them. I paid $15 to ship them back to Hong Kong, and no surprise, they now refuse to give me a refund or respond my inquires. "
"phoney shoes, and good return policy... if you want to spend almost as much as the shoes to ship back to hongkong! i bought size 41 since thats what i have of vibrams already that i bought in a store. but their 41s are stupid tight. DO not buy these randomly online, go to a local retailer listed here 's website if you must buy online. http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/productsupport/store_locator.cfm"
"I've been trying to cancel my order soon after I placed it. These are out of Hong Kong and not an official seller of Vibram shoes. These are knock off's."
"I was given a pair of "five fingers kso" for x-mas purchased from Mountsport. Definitely fakes. The Vibram logo was poorly glued on and they wouldn't even go onto my toes. No the person who gave me the gift is having trouble returning them, as apparently Moutnsport is making it very difficult. "
"Mountsport presents themselves as a legitimate Vibram Five Fingers seller but they sell fakes from Hong Kong, I just got my tracking info and it said picked up in HK, so I researched online and they are definitely selling fakes (see birthdayshoes.com for a full list of FFS fake retailers). Dont waste your money, go for real Vibram rubber.
Oh, and previous reviewer is obviously working for Mountsport. Same poor English on all other review sites where they toot their own horn."
