Learning to move and run in Vibram FiveFingers®.

• Bramani and Fliri developed the first barefoot shoes• Since the launch of Vibram FiveFingers® in 2006, the concept

of minimalism, and minimalist running in particular, has spawned a recurring public debate. So, how are we supposed to do this minimalist/barefoot thing? The truth is, there isn’t a single correct approach – it’s probably more complicated than that. However, as one of the prominent leaders in this movement, we want to give you Vibram’s take on it. We believe that moving and running in FiveFingers can make us healthier, happier, and more connected to our bodies. We hope the following information will help you discover how YOU can safely explore the joys of natural movement.

Foot strike and stride

• Foot strike and stride instinctively adjust to different surfaces.

• Experiment in a safe, controlled way on grass, carpeting, pavement, dirt, pebbles, and smooth rock—keeping your eyes open for potential hazards or unfriendly objects.
