Inspired by the Japanese tradition of wrapping objects in fabric, we present Vibram Furoshiki – the ultimate barefoot shoe for those who want a personalized and flexible fit. Furoshiki is the world’s only shoe that “wraps” around the foot instead of being laced up. The unique wrap design and elastic material allow the shoe to adapt precisely to the shape of your foot, providing unmatched comfort and freedom.
With a minimalist Vibram sole, you get the familiar barefoot feel and good grip, whether you use them for everyday wear, as comfortable travel shoes, or for light leisure activities. Furoshiki are extremely easy to take on the go, as they can be rolled up completely, and their stylish, futuristic look makes them a sure conversation starter wherever you go.
Frequently asked questions
Instead of laces, Furoshiki has two elastic "wings" that you cross over the instep and fasten with Velcro at the heel. This means you can decide how tightly the shoe should fit, and it will always shape itself perfectly to your foot – even if your feet swell a little during a warm day or a long flight.
They are the perfect travel shoes! They weigh almost nothing and can be rolled up into a small bundle that takes up very little space in your bag. They are also fantastic to wear on the plane or train, as they are easy to slip on and off, and the material is very breathable.
Furoshiki uses a unique sizing system (e.g. XS, S, M, L, XL), as they are very flexible in fit. A single size can often cover 2-3 regular shoe sizes. Check our specific Furoshiki size guide to see which category your regular shoe size falls under.
