When you go barefoot, your movements become the movements of a child-playful and sensitive, yet purposeful and confident. You experience the unbound joy of stepping, hopping, and running across any surface on earth, simply to get from here to there. Now you can experience that same physical and visceral sensation in Vibram FiveFingers-the only footwear to offer the exhilarating joy of going barefoot with the protection and sure-footed grip of a Vibram® sole and is ideal for yoga and pilates.
Wearing Five Fingers shoes during yoga, pilates, and other core fitness activities traditionally performed barefoot can increase your comfort, balance, performance and overall sense of control. That’s because many of the poses and exercises you perform during these activities rely on flexible yet stable support from your feet and legs.
I love my Vibrams – I use them for everything except cycling!

5 Key Reasons to Wear or Train in Vibram FiveFingers:
1. Enhanced proprioception improves balance and agility – when wearing Vibram FiveFingers, thousands of neurological receptors in the feet send valuable information to the brain, improving balance, agility, body mechanics, and posture.
2. Healthier feet – conventional shoes not only cast the foot, they often press the toes together and limit range of motion. FiveFingers gently spread the toes, enhance range of motion, and encourage your feet to move in a more natural way.
3. Stronger foot muscles – wearing FiveFingers will stimulate and strengthen muscles in the feet and lower legs, improving general foot health and reducing the risk of injury.
4. Reduced back pain – by removing the heel lift, FiveFingers enable a more natural hip and spine alignment, helping improve posture.
5. It just feels good – we always stress how important it is to listen to your body – most folks tell us wearing FiveFingers just feels good!
