Vibram® FiveFingers® coming to athelite


5 Reasons to Wear Or train in ViBraM® FiveFingers®. Vibram® FiveFingers® is different than any other footwear on the planet. Not only does it bring you closer to your environment, FiveFingers® delivers a number of positive health benefits by leveraging all of the body’s natural biomechanics, so you can move as nature intended.


  1. Strengthens Muscles in the Feet and Lower Legs – wearing FiveFingers® will stimulate and strengthen muscles in the feet and lower legs, improving general foot health and reducing the risk of injury.
  2. Improves Range of Motion in Ankles, Feet and Toes – no longer ‘cast’ in a shoe, the foot and toes move more naturally. 
  3. Stimulates Neural Function Important to Balance and Agility – when wearing Vibram® FiveFingers®, thousands of neurological receptors in the feet send valuable information to the brain, improving balance and agility.
  4. Eliminates Heel Lift to Align the Spine and Improve Posture – By lowering the heel, our body weight becomes evenly distributed across the footbed, promoting proper posture and spine alignment.
  5. Allows the Foot and Body to Move Naturally, Which Just FEELS GOOD.
In 2005, Vibram® introduced the next generation of innovative performance sole design: one that allows the foot to move and work naturally, as if barefoot. We call it Vibram® FiveFingers® 
Vibram® FiveFingers® challenges the paradigm of conventional footwear. The thin, flexible, and deconstructed sole allows the foot to curl and flex as nature intended. The five toes are separate just like our feet! Because of these features, every step taken in FiveFingers® is a lesson in texture, temperature, and biomechanics that can make us healthier and more connected to our bodies.
