Inspired by the Japanese custom of wrapping presents and other items in cloth fabric, the Furoshiki is a featherlight, vegan-friendly barefoot shoe from Vibram.
The silky soft, breathable Italian stretch fabric wraps around the entire foot to fit nicely on many shapes of feet. The Velcro closure system allows for a quick, easy fit. Featuring Vibram sole technology for performance on all types of terrain.
Designed as a do-everything shoe, the Furoshiki is classic Vibram minimal: you get a connection to the ground that feels barely there, with the protection of the extremely flexible yet durable thin Vibram sole. These feel like walking in bare feet! Due to their extreme flexibility they move in every way your foot can move.
If you're new to minimal shoes and plan on using your minimal shoes for high impact activities, you may wish to choose a more forgiving model for your transition to minimal shoes. If you want the most barefoot feeling possible for ground feel and connection, you will love these.
Perfect for Travel, as they come in their own tote bag, they weigh practically nothing, are machine washable, and you can roll them up to fit in the palm of your hand!
Many of our customers enjoy the Vibram Furoshiki as a shoe for barefoot style running and training where you want maximum feedback from the ground for balance and agility.
Due to its futuristic design and colour block aesthetic it can also work as a casual around town, easy on everyday shoe for work and play!
This model is meant for dry, warm weather. It's perfect for hot summer days and indoor use during the winter. You can even pack them in your gym bag.
You will really feel your environment with your feet and get feedback about the ground and your gait while wearing the slick and stylish Vibram Furoshikis!
Sizing Notes
Available in EU men's 40-47 and women's 36-42 sizing. The length of EU sizes is the same (a 41 is a 41 is a 41) but the width is slightly larger in the men's EU options.
Most of our customers buy their regular size if they have narrower feet, or go one EU size up if they have wider feet to allow the narrower tip of the toebox to sit in front of their toes.
Care
Machine washable (use a laundry bag and add them to a medium load of similar colours, cool cycle, for best results, lay flat to dry).
