Training indoor: fitness, gym, dance, and boxing

Training indoor: fitness, gym, dance, and boxingOften we need something on our feet when training indoors to guard from slippery floors, health concerns, and regulations. This has resulted in many indoor activities being taken in part with conventional training shoes and often defeating the purpose of the class or exercise. To truly maximize your indoor training experience, training barefoot is the most enjoyable way. With Vibram FiveFingers you can now train as your are meant to.

Key reasons to train in FiveFingers

  1. Enhanced pro-prioception: FiveFingers allow more feedback from the feet to brain, improving balance, body mechanics, agility, reaction time and form.
  2. Stronger foot muscles: wearing FiveFingers stimulates and strengthens our foot muscles while improving range of motion. Healthy strong feet are essential to the body and reduce the risk of injury.
  3. Healthier feet: FiveFingers gently spread the toes and encourage them to work independently, reducing the risk of bunions.
  4. Reduced back pain: by removing the heel lift, FiveFingers bring the hips back to their natural alignment, taking the load off the facet in the lower back.
  5. Just feels good: We always stress how important it is to listen to your body. Most of our customers tell us wearing FiveFingers just feels good.

Expert Opinions

Vibram Five Fingers help keep me on my toes... and reaching for greater heights.


Candida Oberholzer, High Jumper

I turned to my first pair of Vibram FiveFingers 'Classics' after I injured my back running the Knysna half marathon. This injury resulted in some intense research on running injuries and stumbled apon the benefits of barefoot running and Vibram Five Fingers. It always struck me how differently a child ran compared to a middle aged adult. That's when I gave Vibram FiveFingers a go. It did take a transition period of about 6 months. There is a period of an intense amount of stimulation your feet get - which quickly translates to INFORMATION which your feet use to tread carefully without you having to think about it! I got so hooked on running with Vibram FiveFingers that I ordered my second pair, the KSO's shortly after to participate in trail races. Obviously being the only woman in Cape Town to participate in 21km plus trail races does get its comments but the comments fell away when I happily skip ahead and recover quickly the next day. I feel like an absolute KID running on Table mountain with them! My feet, legs and running strengthened NOTICEABLY. I have now recently received a pair of Vibram FiveFingers BIKILA's in HOT PINK and all I can say is: sexy, sassy and deadly fast! These are now my road running/racing Vibram FiveFingers since I honestly don't have the heart to take these pretty ladies onto the trails... yet. So if you see a crazy chick hopping around on table mountain or on the road with neon pink Vibram FiveFingers with a HUGE grin on her face - its more than likely me!

I love my pink Bikila Five Fingers Vibram shoes not only for their funky design, which is great bonus for me. But they bring lot of enjoyement into my running. I alternate them with my "normal shoes" as often as I can. They are very light and I almost dont feel them on my feet, I am much more connected with nature and way I am running, they actually force me to run "right" way, shorter strides and more from midfoot and forefoot. My running is actually improving last few weeks and I believe my Bikila shoes has a lot of to do with it. Simply - it was best discovery for my running.
