The 26 bones and 33 joints in our feet are designed to carry us through life, to keep us upright and mobile and are our connection to the earth.
Our oft-forgotten feet are not naturally designed to squeeze into high heels, constricting business shoes or ill-fitting running shoes. The podiatry-conscious and outdoors-loving team at Vibram believe that human beings should allow feet to run, walk, climb and dance in their natural state – barefoot.
Vibram’s FiveFinger shoes allow your feet naturally and maintain their innate form in individual ‘toe pockets’, whilst remaining comfortably cushioned by a flexible, durable, tough sole. The patented Vibram sole is non-marking, and should help your feet grip like a gecko in wet or dry conditions. FiveFinger shoes protect feet from the elements whilst running, rock-climbing, bushwalking, kayaking, surfing and sailing. The versatile shoes are sold at Brisbane’s CBD adventure stockists, Globe Trekker.
Gosh, not sure my toes would be comfortable in that…if it were affordable I’d give it a try but I suspect they’re not.
