From the people who brought us the Five Finger running shoe, Vibram's latest design is based on Furoshiki, the Japanese tradition of wrapping, carrying and holding objects in cloth.
Vibram's Furoshiki is the only sole on the market that wraps around the entire foot. Because the upper is constructed with stretch fabric, it anatomically fits any foot type, which is great news for anyone with an especially narrow or wide foot.
The hook and loop closure system allows for a quick, easy fit and, because the tightness of the wrapping technology is a matter of personal preference, the sizing is unisex, which should make shopping easier. At €99 they're not cheap, but if you're on your feet all day (and really, who isn't?) you could look at them as an investment in comfort. Here's handy video on how they work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtWqvHpFy9Q Browse the collection here.
