  Sometimes being barefoot is necessary. And sometimes being barefoot is just more fun. Unfortunately our feet aren't the toughest things on our body. Each of our feet have 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments that need to be protected. Vibram FiveFingers are here to give you a great barefoot experience while protecting the most important part of your lower body.  

 

 

  The first and only footwear to offer the exhilarating freedom of going barefoot with the protection and surefooted grip of a Vibram sole, FiveFingers add a unique sense of feel to any activity, putting the user more in touch with his or her natural surroundings. Wearing FiveFingers can improve balance, agility, and general foot health.  And, using FiveFingers as an after sport recovery shoe, can reduce potential injuries by strengthening foot muscles while improving range of motion.  

 

 

 

Originally developed as a “barefoot alternative” for sailing, climbing, and light trekking, FiveFingers footwear is quickly gaining popularity among runners; elite athletes; yoga and Pilates practitioners; fitness enthusiasts; windsurfers; kite boarders; and kayakers. Anything that you can do barefoot can be done in FiveFingers.

While some have found running in FiveFingers to be beneficial, we recommend doing research on barefoot running to determine whether or not it's right for you. Do the research, take it slow and listen to your body. Pain is not normal. If you would like to begin research about barefoot running, we have provided some links below as a place to start.
