Theory behind barefoot running

Harvard's Dr. Daniel E. Lieberman recently published a study in "Nature" that supports the theory behind barefoot running. In his study, Dr. Lieberman found that runners landing on their fore-foot experience greater efficiency and less force than those landing on their heels, and those runners who were experienced at barefoot running tended to land on their fore-foot a majority of the time.

Modern running shoes support heel strike, as they provide greater cushioning and comfort when landing in this fashion. Not surprisingly, even when running barefoot, those who were more experienced at running in modern shoes tended to land on their heels. Although the cushion of the modern shoe does decrease some of the force involved in the impact, the decrease is very little when compared to fore-foot landing.



I also imagined barefoot running shoes would be cheaper than a traditional running shoe. The Vibram FiveFingers were the barefoot running shoe brand I came across most often online, running somewhere around $85 a pair. This isn't a terrible price for a good set of running shoes, but it is a little pricey for an item you may try once and never use again.



If you are looking for a new dynamic to your running, these sound like a great change. However, be sure to start slowly. A large number of users caution that you cannot just put on barefoot running shoes and run your normal distance and pace. In a very real sense, you are going to have to re-learn how to run and allow your feet to adapt to the lack of cushion and arch support. However, if you have the patience to endure some pain and strange glances from a person like myself, you may find this running shoe is for you.

How you use Vibram FiveFingers

How you use them is really up to you – regular, shortish 'barefoot' runs for training might be one approach, or you could be more braver and use them for more regular running and walking. Whatever you do, you need to adapt gradually, so build up the mileage rather than just leaping straight in and expecting your cosseted feet to cope.

What else? Because they're so light and fast drying they'd be excellent for river crossings on treks, or as evening camp footwear, or on the beach, for wild swimming and, well, just use your imagination.



For reference, Vibram says the shoes can be used for light trekking, climbing and bouldering, canyoneering, running, martial arts and fitness, yoga, sailing, paddling, surfing and flats fishing.



And when they get grubby, just throw them in the washing machine on a cool cycle and hang them up to dry. They do also have an anti-microbial treatment to reduce pongs.

The idea behind FiveFingers

The idea behind FiveFingers is to give you the physiological benefits of going barefoot – and they're increasingly well documented – but with a thin layer of grippy, Vibram rubber protection both to increase traction and protect the soles of your feet from abrasion.

They really are quite minimal too. Each of our size 43s weights just 169 grammes and underfoot there's a layer of rubber and a thin, permanently attached footbed. Up top you get a stretch fabric upper with big mesh insert and a single strap which tensions round the heel area and fastens very securely, with Velcro, across the midfoot.



And they have separate toe pockets. At first that feels weird and makes the shoes fiddly to put on, but you soon get used to it and once the upper strap is adjusted and fastened, the FiveFingers feel incredibly natural and comfortable underfoot.



It's kind of weird looking down and seeing what looks like Hobbit paws where your shoes should be, but hey, this is all about function. And basically they do what they're supposed to do – you get the natural feel of walking about in bare feet, but without the usual tentative pixie steps you find yourself doing on rougher surfaces like roads and pebbles or or hot pavements.



The rubber feels very grippy too, no doubt helped by the natural smearing tendencies of your foot and we reckon these would be amazing on grippy slab climbs.



We've done some gentle grass running too and as we've been told, you need to fundamentally alter your running style to compensate. Because the human foot has little cushioning on the heel, you run more on your forefoot with shorter, pitter-patter strides, which reduces foot strike impact appreciably.



In time it will also strengthen the connective tissues in your feet and, if researchers are to be believed, also significantly reduces injury compared to more conventional running shoes.

New concept shoes--Vibram Five Fingers

When we compare the Vibram Five Fingers to the vast majority of other shoes, if not all shoes, we realize that the Vibram Five Fingers is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Go look in your closet and you’ll notice that every other shoe you own has a tapered toe box and brings the toes together. It is, most likely, extremely stiff, and allows for little-to-no motion. In comparison, the role of the Vibram Five Fingers is to let your foot spread and move freely with each step you take in life. We at Egoscue have basically adopted these amazing shoes as our own! They really are that good…but you already knew that! They allow the bones of your feet to spread apart and then compress together as your foot progresses through the normal walking or running motion. With stiff shoes, this just doesn’t happen. The Vibram Five Fingers call upon the muscles and arches of the feet to do their job properly, without worrying about “constriction”.

When the muscles of the foot and arch function well, so do the ankle, knee, hip and spinal column will. The load joints above the foot are finally doing their job (and ONLY their job, rather than compensating) because of the functional domino effect that begins with a more neutral, free-moving, foot. Because the Vibram Five Fingers is extremely pliable and malleable, they create a free-flowing mechanism to happen in your feet without disturbing your busy lifestyle. I can’t say enough great things about them, and just to be clear, I don’t work for Vibram, I just love the concept and product!

Some Tips in Barefoot Running

Basically the Vibram FiveFingers shoes are made for barefoot runners and so are designed for a forefoot strike, the natural way to run barefoot. This means that you will have to adjust your gait to run barefoot - when doing this, I have three key points to share




1.) you will need to reduce your mileage as it will be hard on your body, you will run slower and run shorter - when it clicks you can return to your former distance and pace (and according to what I hear increase your distance significantly).



2.) You need to shorten your stride (I think a 180 cadence) in order to forefoot strike and kick up your heels behind you rather than throw your legs out in front.



3.) You need to try to relax your calf muscles while running (to help do this tense all your muscles then consciously relax everything).



There are so many books and articles on barefoot or 'chi' running, do a good google search and then do your reading. The crux of the advice I have come across seems to be the above points.



Don’t try to rush into it, take your time, you are learning to run all over again so take it slow and don't risk injury.

FiveFingers, Near-barefoot good for Healthy

In most time of our life people need shoes and boots though sometimes you don’t really need them. If you’re always putting your feet in shoes and boots, the muscles in your feet begin to atrophy. You lose strength. You lose range of motion. You lose neural activity that can be important to balance and agility.




Researches point out that sneakers force us to land on our heels even though our bodies evolved anatomically land and push off with our forefoot. Some scientists now believe running in sneakers may actually contribute to the hip, knee and ankle injuries runners often suffer from.



Here we have the solution to this dilemma. You could be close to being barefoot, but with a small amount of protection and grip, then there might be a lot of occasions where that might be something cool to have. Then you need the FiveFingers shoes!



FiveFingers sole is so thin and so minimal that you can’t heel-strike. When you do that, it changes your bio-mechanics. It changes your posture, and you’re able to run in a way that puts far less stress on your knees, your hips, and your lower back. It’s less impact.

Do You Believe It?? 5000 Race In FiveFingers Shoes!!

Do you believe it? There is really a World 5K Race in FiveFingers shoes!!


The World's First Ever Five Fingers 5k, sponsored by Mahoney's was held in June in Johnson City, TN. It was open to all runners, regardless of footwear. However, the winner was wearing FiveFingers and finished the race in 17:33.

It was a relatively small race, with 89 participants, mostly locals. Touted as the "world's first" Five Fingers 5k, special consideration was given to VFF-clad runners, with completely separate rankings, awards, and prizes, as opposed to "regular shoe" runners who were still welcomed to participate. Of the total participants, 15 were VFF runners. Amazingly, there was only one female in the bunch sporting peach/chili Classics. The course ran through an adjacent residential neighborhood characterized by many frequent small hills. Combined with typical "deep south" weather, it made for a particularly unique 5k race.

History of Vibram, A Climber's Dream

Vibram S.p.A. is an Italian company based in Albizzate that both manufactures and licenses the production of Vibram-branded rubber outsoles for footwear. The company is named after its founder, Vitale Bramani, who started the company in Milan in 1937. As you can see, the company name is the first few letters of the founder’s given name and family name.




Bramani is credited with inventing the first rubber soles for shoes. These soles were first used on mountaineering boots. But for what reason did Bramani invented those gears?? Bramani was a climber. In 1935, he and his mountaineering friends decided to climb the Italian Alps. Unfortunately, six of his friends lost their life, and almost he lost his, due to inadequate footwear. He was determined to make special soles for mountaineering shoes to better protect climbers.



Two years later, he patented his invention and launched the first rubber soles on the market with a tread design called the 'Carrarmato', with the financial backing of Leopoldo Pirelli of Pirelli Tires. The sole was designed to provide excellent traction on the widest range of surfaces, have a high degree of abrasion resistance and was made using the latest vulcanized rubber of the time, which improved the safety of mountaineering.

Vibram has been innovating and developing. The Vibram outsoles plus the yellow octagon logo became the symbol of quality, performance, safety and innovation. Vibram outsoles not only reformed mountaineering but also became a standard. The soles produced by Vibram are called Vibram soles, Vibram rubber, or simply Vibram.

Legend of Vibram

Vibram was founded by Vitale Bramani in Milan in 1937. As you can see, the company name is the first few letters of the founder’s given name and family name. Why Vitale Bramani set up the company is because he was a climber and almost lost his life in a disaster when climbing the Alps in the 1930s due to the poor equipment, and he was determined to make special soles for mountaineering shoes to better protect climbers. Through years of R&D, Vitale Bramani employed the technology of making auto tires to develop the world’s first pairs of rubber outsoles, which greatly improved the safety of mountaineering.
