Vibram Five Fingers

Have you ever thought of wearing your foot wear like a hand glove? Think of the flexibility you have with your fingers inside the various sockets in the glove, contrast this where there are no sockets and your hand is
enmeshed inside as in a stocking- unthinkable. Enter Vibram Fivefingers- they are shoes that are meant to mimic the experience of running without shoes, yet protect your feet from dirt and debris. Why would people want to run without their cushy trainers? Running without shoes can strengthen your feet, ankles, and lower legs and improve balance.
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.


That’s why we recommend wearing FiveFingers for exercise, play, and for fun. Stimulating the muscles in your feet and lower legs will not only make you stronger and healthier, it improves your balance, agility and proprioception.
