Product Description
MINIMALIST RUNNING / BAREFOOT RUNNING The typical human foot is an anatomical masterpiece of evolution with 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles, and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. To keep our feet healthy, like the rest of our bodies, they need to be stimulated and exercised regularly. Many experts believe the shoes we wear not only cast the foot in a protective form, but can also weaken our foot and leg muscles, leaving them underdeveloped and more susceptible to injury. And while there are many occasions where traditional footwear is essential for protection, safety, and security, it is equally important to stimulate and exercise our feet in a more natural state on a regular basis. To stimulate the muscles in your feet and lower legs, which in turn can make stronger, healthier and improve your balance then the Vibram FiveFingers could help you achieve this. Use them for training, running and many other activities to see the benfits! The FiveFingers Speed is designed specifically for a more natural walking experience.

Love the fingertoes!
By dno360
Bought these around 3 months ago, the black and white ones and they are fantastic. I was aware of the natural running movement but basically bought them on impulse because they looked funky! They are however extremely comfortable and enjoyable to wear, like wearing socks as they're so minimal and it really feels strange when I have to wear heavier footwear. [how about some with little individual steel toecaps for work, Vibram? ;)] I have worn these for running, long walks on the South Downs, out casually and all day long and really can't fault them. I wear them every week in the gym and for circuit training and they feel fantastic for that, I definitely feel more sensation and control, hard to explain. I am still building up running in them, as it takes time to adapt to running on the balls of your feet but can already confirm that they don't cause knee pain, unlike in traditional padded trainers which encourage me to heel strike.Three things to mention;Wearing them without socks means they quickly get stinky and need throwing in the washing machine every other time you use them. (Was actually on here to get some five toe socks! Will review those when I have them.) They come out looking good as new each time though, which is a relief.Not sure if they'll be warm enough come the wet winter..? :(Be prepared to have people stop you in the street and ask about them and for others to blatantly point and stare! Some people are properly spun out by them, others are curious and plenty think they're cool too. Wearing them at a party or the gym, any social interaction really will guarantee plenty of conversation!I got these because they were the best styled, like trainers at first glance, some of the others look like divers shoes. I hope Vibram come up with some more 'street' styles, tempt more people into them and I want some more!

Vibram shoes
By Edgar G. Escobar
I love this shoes. I mainly use them to work out at the gym and some times I wear then when I go running. Only negative is that I notice it was falling apart in some spots around the toes. This are my second pair and I will keep buying them as I need them in the future.

By Justice Peace
They look tiny, but I did get them on, eventually (my toes did not want to go into the 'fingers').Time will tell if they are actually too small - I ordered a size bigger than usual.My index toe is longer than my big toe so perhaps I'm a foot freak? (Certainly that second toe is feeling the pinch!)These are made in China and appear very cheap and flimsy.I'd guess they cost maybe one per cent of the selling price to manufacture.From the pictures and the high cost i was expecting a far better product.I cannot envisage running in these shoes as there is no cushioning or padding in the sole.The remind me a bit of rock climbing footwear or the like.I hope they will improve the health of my feet and I'll persevere and update this review later.Update. I ordered the wrong size. Because I had toughed it out for 4 hours I could not send them back. My toes ended up in agony :(. However, I cut the webbing a little on three toes, leaving the rubber sole in tact, and now they are (almost) perfect. Please note that you may need to order 2 sizes bigger than your normal shoes. They give a whole new experience to walking and I suspect they will do great things for posture, balance, strength and all sorts of other benefits.
