Overall impression
The Flows are my favourite Vibram FiveFingers (VFFs) model to wear in cooler temperatures. Like all other VFF models,
cartier lanieres bracelets, they are comfortable, form-fitting,

Please keep in mind while viewing the pictures that these shoes are over a year old and have been well-loved and worn often.
Comfort
Like all FiveFingers,

Weight
Each size W39 Flow weighs 5 ½ ounces or 156 grams. They are the heaviest of my collection of FiveFingers (although I cannot compare them to a pair of Treks in my size). While wearing them,

Flex / Sole
The sole of the Flow consists of a 2 mm EVA footbed, which provides extra thermal insulation and protection from rough terrain. I do notice a difference in ground feel between the Flows and KSOs where the Flows feel slightly thicker, a definite plus in colder temperatures or on cold ground. The sole is also flexible in all directions just like the other models of VFFs.
Support / Insole
There is no arch support in the Flow. The insole is a thin,

Barefoot Feel
Compared to other VFF models,
replica cartier watches, there is slightly less barefoot feel because there is thicker material between your foot and the ground, which helps in cooler temperatures. Compared to conventional shoes, the Flow is phenomenal in its barefoot feel because of the extremely flexible and form fitting sole.
Breathability
The Flow upper is made of 1.2 mm neoprene, which is not breathable. If your feet sweat, they are definitely going to stay wet. This is a considerable drawback to this model in warmer temperatures,
