Fivefingers FAQ

What are they made from?
The upper is made with a thin, abrasion-resistant stretch polyamide fabric. The patented Vibram® sole is made from Vibram's® TC1 performance rubber compound, it's non-marking and provides excellent grip and ground feel in both wet and dry conditions.

How do I care for them?
Vibram Fivefingers® are machine washable. Use gentle, warm water cycle with liquid or powdered detergent. Hang to air dry.

Are they heavy?
Not at all, nothing like your trainers at all.  It's like wearing heavy socks! As an idea:
Men's Classic 5.3 oz. each to 10.6 oz a pair
Women's size 37: Classic 4.25 oz. each, 8.5 oz a pair

Do they come in different widths?
Fivefingers® use a stretch fabric upper that accommodates most medium and wide widths (up to EEE) comfortably, as the brand grows we hope to offer more sizing options as demand dictates.

Will they float?
Only momentarily when dry, once thoroughly wet they lose their buoyancy and will sink. Make sure you get the right size to fit!

Can I use them in fast flowing water?
The Sprint, KSO and Flow offer secure hook and loop closures and can be used for a variety of water sports and activities. However, the original FiveFingers® Classic should not be used in fast moving water. Because the Classic fits low on the foot, the water current or pressure can pull the product off of your heel.

Can I get additional sizes?
All products are currently offered in sizes 40-47 for men and 36-42 for women. Smaller or larger sizes are occasionally offered in selected colors/styles.

Are they suitable for vegitarians & vegans?
Yes!  Currently, every style and color of Vibram FiveFingers is made from vegan friendly materials, guaranteed!
