FITTING GUIDE
1.
Walk barefoot on a carpeted floor for 1 or 2 minutes to give your feet and muscles time to adapt to the sensation
2.
Place Vibram FiveFingers flat on the floor, unlace, and loosen upper
3.
Keep the heel of the shoe down as your foot enters
4.
Use your fingers to help guide toes into the correct toe compartments
5.
Check to see that you have only one toe in each slot
6.
Once you have all your toes in the correct place, pull up the heel, tighten the lacing device and secure to fit
7.
Walk around and test out how they feel
a.
Too large
Feet can move around inside the shoe, which may cause blisters/hot spots.
b.
Too small
Toes are not able to fully extend— toes feel curled or slightly bent.
c.
Just right
Longest toe slightly touches the end of the toe pocket or rests just before the end. Ideally, Vibram FiveFingers will fit just like a glove or second skin.
It’s a matter of personal comfort. These minimalist shoes should fit like a second skin, a bit closer to your foot than your traditional shoe. Slight touching of the longest toe to the front of the material is okay. The fit of these shoes is personal preference, but we recommend starting with one’s standard size.
