Vibram Five Fingers KSO Mens Barefoot Running Shoe.

Vibram Five Fingers KSO Mens Barefoot Running Shoe.

Running shod with an anti pronation shoe will tend to encourage heel strike and is designed to prevent the foot from over pronating as your weight shifts over the mid portion of the shoe towards toe off.Running in Vibram Fivefingers will encourage forefoot strike,which means that pronation is,to all intents and purposes,impossible.

Summary:Barefoot minimalism influences technique more,and strengthens the foot more,to influence mechanics through active means

Voted “Most Popular” for its versatility. Over the last two years, the KSO has become our most popular model for its unbeatable comfort and versatility. It features a thin, abrasion-resistant stretch polyamide and breathable mesh upper that wraps your entire forefoot to “Keep Stuff Out.” A single hook-and-loop closure helps secure the fit. The non-marking 3.5mm Vibram® TC1 performance rubber outsole is razor-siped for enhanced flexibility and a sure grip on wet or dry surfaces.

Features

• Vibram FiveFingers was conceived as an alternative to traditional footwear.
• The FiveFingers helped strengthen the muscles in your feet and lower legs, improving balance, agility, strength and speed.
• Strengthening Tool.Most supportive shoes allow only 2 of the 34 muscles of the foot to work to their full capacity.Running in Vibram Fivefingers allows all 34 muscles of the foot to be conditioned thoroughly.
• Mobilisation Tool.Wearing Vibram Fivefingers encourages a full range of motion in all foot joints
• Efficiency Tool.Running efficiency in all lab studies (based on oxygen consumption)consistently improves between 1-5% which is why they are popular with Ultra runners and marathoners.
• Technique Tool.Research on technique suggests that running barefoot and running in Vibram Fivefingers strongly encourages a forefoot strike with less impact and more efficient use of the Achilles/Calf complex.
• It may take some time for your body to adapt to using these new muscles, so we recommend wearing FiveFingers for 1-2 hour intervals the first few weeks. Gradually increase usage as your body strengthens and adapts.Transition from shod running to Vibram Fivefingers should occur gradually across months rather than weeks.
• Vibram Five fingers come with a 2 year manufacturing warranty
• All models are water compatible and all fully machine washable
