Vibram FiveFingers

Barefoot brand from Italy, founded 1937.

Vibram FiveFingers is the toe shoe line from Vibram, the Italian sole maker based in Albizzate, near Varese. Each toe gets its own pocket on a thin Vibram rubber sole, and they make men's and women's styles for running, trail and hiking. I'd say they suit anyone who wants a very close-to-the-ground feel, though the toe pockets take a little getting used to.

Specialities: men, women, running, trail, hiking
