Google ‘barefoot running’ and see how popular the topic has become. At the top of the results page is Vibram FiveFingers. Flying off the shelves, the bestselling Vibram FiveFingers® shoes have become one of the hottest items of 2011. Research shows that the benefits of running barefoot are overwhelming. Traditional running shoes require great force with each stride in order to gain proper traction. This force applies great stress on hips and knees and over time can create long term damage resulting in injuries. 

Embracing the barefoot movement, Vibram created the perfect alternative to the traditional running shoe. Available in both Men’s and Women’s, the FiveFingers® styles most suitable for running are Bikila, Classic, Sprint, KSO and Komodo Sport.

In addition to running, FiveFingers® are the perfect shoes for activities such as yoga, water sports, trekking, traveling and everyday wear. No matter the activity, FiveFingers® shoes will strengthen the muscles in feet and legs, improve range of motion, balance and agility. These benefits allow athletes to train at a higher level and increase performance by giving a higher sense of control during fitness training.

Minimalists* appreciate the low profile shoes as they bring customers closer to nature while providing abundant health benefits. Trendsetters love the unique style. So the next time you’re out and about look around and you’ll probably see more than one person sporting these funky looking shoes as FiveFingers® are available in Men’s, Women’s and Kid’s sizes.
