About Vibram FiveFingers® Shoes Vibram
FiveFingers® shoes are designed to allow the foot to function effectively, with all the benefits of going barefoot including injury prevention, minimising back pain, strengthening the foot structure and maximising biomechanical performance. Vibram’s patented shoe takes a minimalist approach to barefooting with a thin, abrasion-resistant stretch polyamide fabric that fits low on the foot- for comfort and quick drying. Non-marking, performance rubber soles protect your feet and provide a sure grip over a variety of terrains.
