Millymoo, I found that the vibrams were just as good as any of the boots being worn by the other Trekkers when it came to the mud. On steep decents they can be prone to slipping if you keep your feet straight and land on the balls of your feet as the tread is slightly angled backwards. But if you angle your foot out or in slightly they were excellent. I actually found that I could use my toes around small roots and stones to get better grip than most. The injinis that I wore were the micro ones
I did the trek in April from Owers over 6 days carrying my pack. I wore Vibram KSO Trek Sports the whole way with injinji socks. On the second day one of the other trekkers, Scott, saw how good they were and put his on, which he had brought for river crossings. He left them on for the rest of the way and loved them. They're extremely light, didn't cause any blisters because they are so flexible and because of the increased proprioception of your feet we didn't even come close to rolling an ankle. Just like any other shoe you should always wear them in and get your feet accustomed to them before you leave. I would highly recommend them!
