Wearing FiveFingers 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.

FiveFingers footwear not only provides a sure-footed grip to improve your balance, it acts like a second skin, flexing easily with every move you make.  Its five individual toe slots allow your toes to separate naturally, providing unrivaled stability and support— during the most aggressive yoga positions. Plus, FiveFingers footwear keeps your feet warm, clean, and comfortable, so you can focus on your workout and make the most of the experience.

Consider Vibram FiveFingers as an alternative for any exercise you now practice barefoot.

6 Key Reasons to Wear or Train in Vibram FiveFingers:

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. Improves Proprioception and Body Awareness – those same neurological receptors heighten body awareness, sending messages about body mechanics, form, and movement.

5. Eliminates Heel Lift to Align the Spine and Improve Posture – By lowering the heel, our bodyweight becomes evenly distributed across the footbed, promoting proper posture and spine alignment.

6. Allows the Foot and Body to Move Naturally, Which Just FEELS GOOD.
