subject: Let the Human Feet Serve their True Purpose through Vibram Five Fingers [print this page] Author: Jeff Paul Author: Jeff Paul
Interesting, extraordinary, and unusual are some of the adjectives that have been used to describe Vibram Five Fingers shoes. However, even though they may not look like the typical athletic shoe that people come across at the department store, this footwear is a true innovation not only in the industry, but even to mankind as well. A 1905 study has shown that the feet of native barefoot populations in the Philippines and Central Africa have a flat surface, and toes that spread naturally and fan out to provide a wide, stable base for walking or standing. Compare that to the feet of those who have worn shoes all their lives and have depended on them to provide stability and protection, and one couldnt help but see an uncanny difference. The study has shown that the feet of modern humans have now conformed to the shape of the shoes that they usually wear, and that walking or running barefoot is no longer an option. This is due not only to of the danger that it presents, but because of the lack of stability and durability of the feet as well. Nature has intended for man to walk and run the earth as freely as possible. But with constant evolution and dependence on technology, it seems as if the true purpose of mans feet has taken a back seat. Vibram Five Fingers aims to bring back the true and natural purpose and function of the human feet through their footwear. Designed after the bare human foot, the footwear is able to let its wearer move as if he or she had no shoes at all, but sans the risk and danger. Despite the admittedly intriguing appearance of these shoes, no other footwear could even hope to provide the performance and stability that this brand is able to offer.
