3. Learning to move and run
in Vibram FiveFingers®.
• Bramani and Fliri developed the first barefoot shoes
• Since the launch of Vibram FiveFingers® in 2006, the
concept of minimalism, and minimalist running in
particular, has spawned a recurring public debate. So,
how are we supposed to do this minimalist/barefoot
thing? The truth is, there isn’t a single correct
approach – it’s probably more complicated than that.
However, as one of the prominent leaders in this
movement, we want to give you Vibram’s take on it.
We believe that moving and running
in FiveFingers can make us healthier, happier, and
more connected to our bodies. We hope the following
information will help you discover how YOU can safely
explore the joys of natural movement.

6. Foot strike and stride
• Foot strike and stride instinctively adjust to
different surfaces.
• Experiment in a safe, controlled way on grass,
carpeting, pavement, dirt, pebbles, and
smooth rock—keeping your eyes open for
potential hazards or unfriendly objects.
