Persons always call them Vibram Five Fingers shoes for they have special space for your each toe, and they supply good protection for your toes under the feeling of real barefoot walking.As we know that human foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 more muscles and with hundreds of sensory receptors. Many experts believe the shoes we wear not only cast the foot in a protective form, but also weaken our foot and leg muscles, leaving them underdeveloped and more prone to injury. And while there are many occasions where traditional footwear is essential for protection, safety, and security, Vibram Five Fingers is equally important to stimulate and exercise the foot in a more natural state on a regular basis.That’s why we recommend wearing Vibram Five Fingers for exercise, for play, and for fun. Stimulating muscles in your feet and lower legs will not only make you stronger and healthier, it improves your balance, agility and proprioception. The Vibram Five Fingers Shoes, to differing degrees, allow you to both walk without a heel and condition toe-spread, especially the big toe, for lateral stability.We advise you walking barefoot for a few weeks to toughen up the skin on the bottom of the foot as well as the muscles in the ankles and feet. Once you are ready to run, start with Vibram Five Fingers, increasing slowly and running barefoot every couple of days. From there, build to up to 20 minutes over a month. After a few weeks of this, the feet and ankles will be stronger, thus reducing the risk of injury.
Vibram Five Fingers is the latest example of our relentless commitment to research and product innovation at Vibram. Industrial Designer Robert Fliri first proposed the idea of Vibram Five Fingers footwear to Marco Bramani, grandson of Vibram founder Vitale Bramani, who immediately embraced the concept. Soon, Fliri joined Vibram and began working with a team of footwear professionals and product engineers who helped him to refine and realize his vision. That original concept has evolved into a premium collection of barefoot performance footwear known simply as FiveFingers..
