Vibram Five Fingers introduces a “barefoot alternative”

It’s all about being minimal these days-decors, clothes and now shoes? Vibram Five Fingers introduces a “barefoot alternative” that has thin, flexible soles that are contoured to the shape of the human foot.

Taking your feet back to basics, the shoes have five toe cutouts and absolutely no support or traditional foam padding in the soles which puts you more in touch with the earth beneath your feet. It stimulates the muscles in your feet which is reported to increase your sense of balance, greater agility and visibly improved posture.

The shoes have become a huge hit among fitness junkies and our trend setting neighbor Singapore is already all over it. Its so popular that the shoes can be found in most major departmental stores such as Tangs, Takashimaya and Isetan.
