6 key reasons to wear or train in FiveFingers

Most of us are not used to be being barefoot for continuous and long periods of time, it is therefore important to understand that wearing Vibram FiveFingers is a new method of movement for your body. We recommend for all customers to start slowly in order to allow the body to adjust and strengthen muscles that have become dormant from wearing conventional footwear.

6 Key Reasons to Wear or Train in Vibram FiveFingers

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 how nature intended.

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.
