Back to nature – with care
With Fivefingers, you get the feeling of being closer to nature while also doing something good for your body. Thinking about buying a pair, or do you already have one? Then here are 10 steps to maximize your experience:
- What can Fivefingers be used for?
Everything! Vibram Fivefingers are designed for many different sports, such as running, crossfit, or hiking. But they are also perfect for everyday use – both indoors and outdoors.
In summer, you can wear them constantly, and they are ideal on the beach, especially if there are stones, or if you want to protect your feet in the water.
- Choose the right model for your needs
With a wide selection of models, you can choose the one that best suits your activity. The most important thing, however, is that the shoes fit well. Don't hesitate to choose a model you like – most Fivefingers are versatile and can be used for many purposes.
- Find your size
Fivefingers typically fit a little snugger than other shoes, so choose a size ½ size larger than usual.
- Socks: Yes or no?
In summer, Fivefingers are great without socks. In winter, you can use toe socks for extra warmth. Try it for yourself and see what works best for you.
- Get started the right way – start slowly
Your feet and legs need to get used to Fivefingers, as traditional shoes often make the muscles passive and weak. Start by wearing them indoors for short periods and gradually increase the time as your body adapts.
- Running in Fivefingers – start carefully
When you start running in your Fivefingers, take small steps at a time. Combine them with your regular running shoes and use them for short runs on grass or soft ground. Gradually increase the distance, and enjoy how your natural running style develops.
- Is a marathon possible in Fivefingers?
Yes! Build up your muscles slowly so you become strong enough for longer distances. Patience is the key to success.
- Can Fivefingers be washed?
Absolutely! Wash them at a low temperature (max. 30 degrees) and let them air dry. Avoid the tumble dryer to extend their lifespan.
