How FiveFingers Works

Our revolutionary design makes feet healthier by allowing them to move more naturally and freely.

The typical human foot is an anatomical marvel of evolution with 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. Like the rest of the body, to keep our feet healthy, they need to be stimulated and exercised.

The material between the toes is very thin an soon becomes un-noticeable, they fit like a glove!

Discover the healthier footwear. We now have footwear that can actually help make the foot healthier, that can strengthen muscles in the feet and lower legs, improve range of motion and increase sensory reception important to balance and agility. Footwear that might just make running safer and healthier, by encouraging a forefoot strike and a more natural running form that creates less impact on the knees, hips and lower back. That is what Vibram FiveFingers offer.

We are not saying that Vibram FiveFingers® is the only footwear you will ever need. There are times when we need the protection and security of a boot or shoe. Like all things in life, there is a balance, and Vibram FiveFingers® offers an alternative to traditional footwear. Wearing FiveFingers for fitness training, running or just for fun will make your feet stronger and healthier – naturally.

Vibram Five Fingers

The fields of physical fitness and shoe design have pooled their resources to create Vibram Five Fingers. The Vibram line is a revolutionary new type of footwear. Unlike other athletic shoes, Vibram Five Fingers is based off of the bare human foot, bringing unparalleled flexibility, comfort, and balance to its wearer.

And while we do love Vibram FiveFingers®, we don’t believe it is the only footwear you will ever need. There are many times when you need the protection and security of a shoe or boot. Like all things in life, there is a balance, and Vibram FiveFingers® provides a healthy alternative to traditional footwear. Wearing FiveFingers for fitness training, running, water sports or just for fun will make your feet stronger and healthier—naturally.

*Running in Vibram FiveFingers requires a significant increase in lower leg and foot strength. A gradual transition is critical to avoid overuse injuries.

While often overlooked, toes actually play an important role in keeping balance. This is why Vibram's unique shape offers so many benefits. Much like a glove, there's a section for each toe, allowing the wearer to wiggle and spread his or her toes as if barefoot. The design also works to enhance body awareness, allowing the athlete to perform at full capacity. Vibram FiveFingers also improve posture by evenly distributing the wearer's body weight.

Use Vibram Five Fingers Shoes, to keep our feet healthy. Your feet need to be stimulated and exercised. If you love sports, do not miss Vibram Five Fingers footwear.

Versatility is another quality of Vibram Five Fingers. Whether the buyer needs fitness training shoes, CrossFit Shoes, yoga shoes, water sports shoes, or some other variety, chances are that at least one kind of Vibram FiveFingers will meet this need perfectly.

Vibram FiveFingers shoes are manufactured by Vibram, the long know maker of quality soles. These were originally developed as a “barefoot alternative” for sailing and paddling, the footwear has a thin, flexible sole that is contoured to the shape of the foot. They are known for their visible individual sections for the toes, the FIVE FINGERS. Vibram FiveFingers are meant to replicate being barefoot and allow for the natural biomechanics of the foot to work

The Vibram FiveFingers imitate barefoot running by following the contour of the foot, allowing it to move more naturally.  The thin rubber soles of the shoes protect the runners' feet and add grip while the thin top layer lets the feet breathe as if they were not covered at all.

Athletes have been eschewing shoes for years. James Holden won the 1950 Commonwealth Games marathon in Auckland, despite running barefoot and being bitten by a dog. South African record-breaking middle-distance runner Zola Budd also famously competed without shoes on.

Recently this trend has passed into the mainstream with barefoot, or natural running, being touted as one of 2011's biggest fitness trends. For those who don't want to go all the way though, specially designed barefoot shoes give you all the benefits with a little extra protection.  The shoes promise to improve the range of motion in ankles, feet and toes, letting them move more naturally. Like running barefoot, they improve posture and spine alignment.
