Vibram Five Fingers

Five Fingers Introduction

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

That is why we suggest wearing Five Fingers for exercise, play, and fun. Stimulating the feet and legs muscles will not only make you healthier and stronger, it help improves your agility, balance and proprioception.

Five Fingers For Barefoot running

The benefits of running barefoot have long been supported by scientific coaches, research, and athletes who've offered ample evidence that training without shoes allows you to run further and faster with fewer injuries.

Motion studies demonstrate that when running barefoot, one naturally lands on the forefoot, directly below your center of gravity. This results in optimum balance, increased stability, less impact, and greater propulsion. According to Dr. Ivo Waerlop of the Vibram Biomechanics Advisory Board, “Running in Five Fingers Shoes improves strength, agility, and equilibrium, plus it delivers sensory feedback that allows runners to make immediate corrections in their form. This greatly improves running efficiency.”



No footwear comes closer to recreating the experience and natural sensation of running barefoot than Discount Vibram Five Fingers. It delivers all the performance and health benefits of barefoot running-with less the risk of injury. Our patented Vibram sole acts like a second skin to protect you from elements and obstacles, so you can reap the rewards of barefoot running.

As with any new activity or sport, Vibram recommends you consult your physician or a medical professional to see if ChiRunning or Pose Method running in Vibram Five Fingers is right for you. It may not be appropriate for people with severe supination or pronation.

HOW SHOULD MY Vibram Five Fingers FIT?

Ideally, you will want your toes and heel to fit into each pocket comfortably snug, with your longest toe grazing the end of the toe pocket. You do not want the standard 1/2 inch of “wiggle” room as desired in traditional footwear.
Although it is perfectly fine for your toes to graze the end of the toe pockets, make sure that each toe can extend fully. If any of your toes are scrunched or curled due to lack of space, you need to go up in size. Alternately, if you wiggle your toes and they slip out of the toe pockets, you need to go down in size. Ultimately, you should find a pair that you are comfortable in and that allow you to perform activities freely and naturally-as if you are wearing no shoes at all!

YOUR SIZE CHART ONLY GOES UP TO 12, AND I'M A 13. CAN I STILL WEAR Vibram Five Fingers?

If you look closely at our size chart, you will notice that the numbers printed across the top of the chart refer to your foot's length in inches, not US size. We found that, due to the precise nature of the Vibram Five Fingers fit, the most accurate size translation was in inches, not US shoe size (which varies across brands and styles).
Vibram Five Fingers can fit up to a 12 inch foot which roughly translates to a size 15. In order to find the right size, please measure both feet from heel to longest toe with a ruler in inches and refer to our size chart for the right size.
