Kloofing, Canyoneering & Climbing
Kloofing, or canyoning as it is called in most parts of the world other than South Africa, is the art of following a mountain stream down its course by floating, scrambling, jumping and swimming. By its very nature, kloofing takes place in a relatively high risk area, a river gorge, deep in the mountains so, although it's a whole load of fun, it can be dangerous - particularly as the whole point of kloofing, really, is to leap over waterfalls or cliffs into pools. Vibram FiveFingers can reduce the risk of danger by providing you with footwear that allows you to feel your environment under your feet, allowing you to adapt to the changing conditions quickly and efficiently. Vibram FiveFingers are made with quick drying uppers and razor-siped soles, using only the best and most advanced rubber compounds. This makes them the ideal shoe for wet and dry conditions such as in Kloofing. Vibram FiveFingers comfortable glove like fit means you can enjoy a day of Kloofing blister and irritation free. |
Recommended ProductsExpert OpinionsFiveFingers are the perfect shoe for me for hiking in and out of remote climbing routes. They are so light I barely feel them hanging off my harness while climbing. They are extremely comfortable and allow me to truly feel closer to nature. Justin Hawkins, Rock ClimberAfter been playing and running in the FiveFingers Bikila's for a while now, the biggest benefit, apart from the immediate step up in my social status from wearing the funky looking, super lightweight, visually appealing shoes to the envy of sporting friends and general public alike, would be that the Bikila's are a medium of teaching and reminding my body of how it was suppose to move and run in the first place. Although I would suggest a steady-faced approach to avoid the risk of injury (I have learnt a quite a few bad running habits that resulted in some poorly developed muscles from over reliance on certain shoes in the past), I can honestly say that the use of the Bikila's are rehabilitating my body to the way it was designed to run... fast!
