Vibram Five Fingers shoes (source)
Technology is taking a new minimalist approach to fitness shoes these days. In the past few years magazines are bombarded with reviews about shoes that ‘support’ all different types of sports and running styles. But at the same time people are dealing with more injuries due to foot problems. Maybe we are over protecting our feet?
A new shoe is leading the way in minimalist design. Vibram has developed a shoe that’s not a shoe. The Five Fingers design hugs all five toes as well as having a very thin sole. This shoe was originally designed for sailors, but barefoot runners soon began wearing them.
The idea behind it all is that typical shoes ‘cast’ in your foot and prevent your natural movement. When you gradually transition to a Five Fingers type of shoe you strengthen feet and leg muscles, improve range of motion, and increase overall balance.
Ready to buy a pair and get started? Not so fast. You will need to gradually adjust your feet into these shoes. The first week or two you may experience discomfort as your feet adjust. And for people who are flat footed or over pronate, you may need a longer adjustment period to train your feet to walk in these style of shoes.
