Five Finger Toe Shoes

Toe Shoes - Five Finger Barefoot Shoes

Five finger barefoot shoes were first made by Vibram. This is back in 2004 when Rober Fliri first pitched the idea to Vibram for a shoe that was made perfectly to the contour of the foot.
No restriction, no limitation - pure movement.

It was first supposed to be just a manufacturing agreement with Vibram, but when all other major brands didn’t see merit, Vibram decided to launch it under its own name and the rest is history.

The idea of the shoe is simple, it is a glove for your feet, only slightly more adept to be trailing on different kinds of surfaces.

Every toe has a separate sleeve to fit into making toe movement possible even after having worn a shoe.

This is a game changer for foot health. It allows for you to truly train your foot with every step you take and undo years of damage that traditional shoes have done to your feet.

Now the only caveat with five finger shoes is how they look. For a lot of people, wearing five finger shoes seems inaccessible for the way they look is not particularly socially accepted as of today. 

But the same kinds of benefits are now found in non five-finger shoes such as Zen Barefoot as well. The same wide toe box, natural shape, thin and flexible sole.


Wearing these kinds of minimal shoes can severely reduce chances of a lot of lifestyle problems that come with wearing the shoes that you regularly do - plantar fasciitis, bunions and so many more.


Your feet matter. They are your entire body’s foundation and making them strong is not just a choice, but a true responsibility.


If you’re looking for barefoot shoes for yourself, you can find them at gambol.in and ofcourse, www.zenbarefoot.com
