Vibram Five Fingers

Launched today on Channel Nine news by a leading sportsman of Australia was the new era in footwear introduced to the world from the small land of Down Under – Australia.

This innovative footwear is known as Vibram Five Fingers.

Australia awoke to their news channel this morning with the Sports section cutting to our favorite sports team the Australian Rugby Union the “Wallabies” who were wearing the new footwear. What made this especially entertaining was the fact the interviewer, dressed in a nice suit, was also wearing the footwear.

The sole of the footwear is Vibram TC-1 high performance and long lasting rubber. The upper material is strengthened abrasion resistant polyamide stretch fabric all coupled with an inner sole of anti-microbial microfiber, all being the latest technology in hard wearing applications.

The upper sole is a heavy duty cloth material that aids comfort and the foot to breath.

The new vibram five fingers foot wear is designed to fit your feet just like a glove fits your hand.

This provides the wearer the experience of hardly wearing footwear at all.  The footware can be worn for all varieties of sports and finds itself perfectly matched to water sports such as surfing or scuba diving.

Having the hard wearing micro fibre composite sole, the footware can be worn for rock climbing or cave explorations. There really is no application that this footwear cannot be easily adapted to.

When your finished for the day, then throw the foot wear into the washing machine and wash with your normal clothes. Dry them out and your ready to go.

So if your into extreme fitness then buying a pair of vibram five fingers is a must as you will improve your fitness and posture naturally.

Look for a stockist near you, or order direct online over the internet. Remember, this will be the latest fad in foot wear, buy your vibram five fingers before everybody else does.

The footwear is said to work the muscles of the legs and lower abdomen as the muscles in the foot are made to work more then they do with flat soled foot wear.

As you can see by the image the Vibram Five Fingers KSO is clearly displayed. KSO simply means “keep stuff out”.

You can see the shoe is enclosed at the top to provide protection from sand and debris entering inside the shoe.

When compared to the standard Vibram Five Finger shoe there is no material across the upper section of the foot.

The design of this shoe is for use in extreme situations such as life saving duties, kayaking or beach sports where some foot protection is required.

Life Guards have found by using the KSO five finger shoe that they are offered protection from cuts and scratches.

The use of the Five finger KSO on the beach provides the added benefit of skin protection as well as reducing sand in the shoe when compared to other types of running shoes that quickly fill with sand.

The application of water sports for the Vibram five finger means that it can go from harsh conditions on dry land to swimming and board riding.

Many employers of life guard’s are now recognizing the Vibram five finger KSO as the preferred choice of footwear providing their life guards some protection.

Some protection is better then no protection and life guards often suffer from cuts and scratches in their daily beach duties.

From dry land to swimming to board. The Vibram five finger KSO is also a favorite amongst long distance runners who incorporate a running, cycling and board riding leg. Marathon sportsmen find the shoe appropriate for all legs of their sporting events.

If you need foot protection from sand, dirt and debris, then the Vibram Five Finger KSO should be your very first consideration.
