Vibram FiveFingers Running Shoes

Vibram FiveFingers shoes provide you the sense of running barefoot, but protect your feet from dirt and abrasions. The shoes were brought to the market in 2006. Times Magazine named the barefoot running shoes one of the best health inventions of 2007. And last year, Christopher McDougall’s book ‘Born to Run’ praise Vibram’s new shoes, as well as the benefits of barefoot running.

If you want to run barefoot, you have two options. You can either run without wearing shoes, or you can wear a pair of Vibram FiveFingers barefoot running shoes.

For many runners, they only have the first choice. Vibram FiveFingers shoes are more and more hard to get. Vibram created these barefoot running shoes a few years ago, but now that they have become so popular, Vibram is having a hard time maintenance up with the demand.

CNN reports that Vibram is a 75-year old Italian company, which is best known for making soles for high end boots. But 6 years ago, Robert Fliri approached the company with a shoe that could hardly be called a shoe. It is better described as a foot glove.
