| Vibram FiveFingers is different than any other footwear on the planet. Not only do they bring you closer to your environment, FiveFingers deliver a number of positive health benefits—by leveraging all of the body’s natural biomechanics, so you can move as nature intended.
6 Reasons to Wear Vibram FiveFingers:
1. Strengthens Muscles in the Feet and Lower Legs - wearing FiveFingers will stimulate and strengthen muscles in the feet and lower legs, improving general foot health and reducing the risk of injury.
2. Improves Range of Motion in Ankles, Feet and Toes – no longer ‘cast’ in a shoe, the foot and toes move more naturally.
3. Stimulates Neural Function Important to Balance and Agility - when wearing Vibram FiveFingers, thousands of neurological receptors in the feet send valuable information to the brain, improving balance and agility.
4. Improves Proprioception and Body Awareness – those same neurological receptors heighten body awareness, sending messages about body mechanics, form, and movement.
5. Eliminates Heel Lift to Align the Spine and Improve Posture – By lowering the heel, our bodyweight becomes evenly distributed across the footbed, promoting proper posture and spine alignment.
6. Allows the Foot and Body to Move Naturally, Which Just FEELS GOOD. |

I’m a fan of the vibram’s as well. They’re starting to catch on at my gym. 4 or 5 other people are wearing them.

I bought a pair several months ago…I agree, they’re completely awesome. Unfortunately, I’m still arguing with my gym as to whether or not they’re "athletic shoes", and can be worn while working out.

shan are you wearing these during your training sessions? are you running in them? how good are arch supports are they?
yo, dogmatic, i got tossed from my gym for the keen covered toe sandals. these will cause the same stink if you work out at a gym manged by someone who has never gotten to tell anyone what to do before and this gym manager job is their first opportunity to do so.

I got a pair in August and really like them, especially doing squats and deadlifts. My gym doesn’t have a problem with them.
