Why Are FiveFingers Good For Your 5 Toes?
Vibram FiveFingers are obviously unique. But not only do they look unique, according to the folks at Vibram, the unique design offers several unique benefits. Vibram FiveFingers :
* Allow your feet to move as nature intended.
* Allow you to feel things through your feet that you have never felt before. You will have a new sensory experience.
* Give your walk a new gait. Instead of rocking and rolling from the heal to the toe on the soul of a stiff rubber souled shoe, the "Vibram outsole mirrors the flex points and silhouette of your foot and toes to propel your body forward and promote a more natural gait. "
* Strengthen your feet and legs, improve your balance and your agility.
* Have a lower heel position which actually straightens your spine, improves posture, and reduces back pain.
* spread your toes to strengthen foot muscles, increase range of motion and improve foot health.
FiveFingers Tester's Testimonial
After 11 days of Testing FiveFingers, Peter Sagal a 3:20 marathoner and the host of NPR's Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me wrote:
Back in the FiveFingers I zip around the track as if I've been freed from eight-ounce ankle weights. I run pain-free and fast. My friend running behind me (ha!) says that my gait has changed. Indeed, I feel as if I'm running more on the outside of my foot, rolling the point of impact forward to the toes, where I can actively push off.

Lightweight, affordable, highly flexible, and surprisingly tough, the KSO literally fits like a slipper and is designed to mimic the biomechanics of bare feet. The KSO is ideal as a running shoe, on- or off-road. The 5Fs has a freaky look, but even if you hate it, once you try it there's no denying that it works.
