Frequently asked questions
Yes, absolutely. The models for water sports are lightweight and streamlined, so they create minimal resistance in the water. They are especially good if you swim in places where the bottom is unknown, or where there is a risk of stepping on sharp stones, mussels, or sea urchins.
After use in salt water or chlorinated water, it is important to rinse your FiveFingers thoroughly in fresh water. Salt can dry out the materials and make them stiff over time. Then let them air dry (avoid direct sunlight or radiators, as this can damage the glue and rubber), so they stay fresh and flexible.
Yes, water sports models such as Vibram V-Aqua are made from lightweight, synthetic materials that do not absorb large amounts of water. They are also equipped with small drainage holes in the sole or upper, allowing water to drain out quickly, which means they dry significantly faster than traditional sneakers or neoprene shoes.
