Finger Sneakers

What devices have not been invented for greater comfort when playing sports! One of the last such innovations is unusual sneakers with separate fingers. This type of shoe allows you to free your foot as much as possible, creating the feeling that you are walking barefoot around the city.

Finger sneakers are an exact copy of the foot. For our country, such shoes are still rare, but in Europe and the USA, these original sneakers are quite in demand, and not only among athletes and tourists, but also among ordinary people.

For the production of such sneakers, materials with good ventilation are used so that the leg in them feels extremely comfortable.

Special antibacterial inserts prevent the appearance of an unpleasant odor.

The products are equipped with a durable rubber sole, which allows you to feel all the bumps in the earth and creates the effect of walking barefoot. In the process of being in such sneakers, a constant foot massage is performed.

By the way, manufacturers say that in finger sneakers you can even walk on glass! Although the risk, of course, is not worth it.

Another advantage of sneaker models with toes is the lack of load on the heel area, which has a very positive effect on the musculoskeletal system. During walking, finger sneakers begin to work muscles that are not used when walking in traditional models of sports shoes, which reduces the risk of flat feet and spinal problems. In addition, in such shoes it is much easier to keep balance.

Sneakers with fingers are guaranteed to attract the attention of others to their owner. That is why they are chosen by active and confident people.

There are many different models of sneakers with fingers.So, there are options designed for fitness, swimming, daily walks, as well as running models.

Italian company Vibram offers the following types of toe shoes:

• Classic - sneakers with a fully open upper part, without laces. In appearance, they are more like loafers.

• KSO - closed options.

• Sprint - shoes with a strap that fixes the lift of the foot.

• Flow - models for water sports.

In addition, the company produces models with leather inserts.

Vibram's latest development - running model Spyridon LS. These sneakers are named after a Greek shepherd named Spyridon Luis, who won the marathon in the Olympic Games in 1896. Moreover, the athlete fled along an uneven dirt road and rocky hills. The specified model of the adapter is specifically for off-road.

A key feature of these sneakers is an innovative sole made of thin but heavy-duty rubber with a thickness of only 3.5 millimeters, which is reinforced with a polyester mesh. This design reliably protects the foot from pebbles, sharp twigs and other objects, and without any damage to flexibility.

The embossed tread pattern of this shoe guarantees excellent grip on the surface, even wet stones or dirt. Runners compare this sole to mountain bike tires.

Spyridon LS top is an elastic mesh in combination with polyamide. Also, a special fiber that absorbs moisture is used for its production, helping to keep the athlete's feet always dry.

Hygiene is also promoted by the Dri-Lex insole with antimicrobial effect. Thanking her, you can not worry about the unpleasant smell of sneakers.

To run safely in the dark, this model of sneakers is equipped with reflective elements.

There is also a special lacing system: the laces are tightened in almost one motion, which, of course, is a very important plus for professional athletes who value every second in competitions.

These sneakers are very light: one pair weighs only 255-368g.

The color palette of this model is represented by black and combined models with orange, gray, olive accents.

Another interesting model - sneakers Air rift from company Nike with a bifurcated toe. In them, the thumb is separated from everyone else.

To create this model in 1996, the brand was inspired by runners from Kenya, who are considered the best in the world. Since the big toe is the most mobile, the designers separated it from the rest. Over time, these sneakers have been improved and are now very popular among athletes.

Adidas also developed his model of five-finger sneakers - Adipure trainer. They are unusually light and plastic, are remarkably ventilated and perfectly fit the leg.

However, we immediately note that these shoes, unlike the well-known Vibram Fivefingers, are intended only for training in the gym, but not for running on the ground, asphalt, and even more so on rough terrain. The athlete can train in them only on a treadmill!

You will not find sneakers with fingers in the market or in an ordinary shoe store. If you want to buy such shoes, check them on the website of branded stores.

Like any sports shoes, finger sneakers should be as comfortable as possible for you. Their specificity is to copy the shape of your foot, otherwise, otherwise there is a risk of injury and other serious problems with the legs.

Trying on such shoes before buying is a must! Even online stores provide such a free opportunity. You can try on when the courier brings the sneakers to your home.

For a more accurate determination of the desired size, it is advisable to carry out the following actions on the eve of the purchase:

• In the afternoon, when the legs are already slightly swollen, stand barefoot on a sheet of paper;
• Slowly outline the contour of the foot;
• Measure its length with a ruler, start from the thumb;
• Round the figure to 0.5 centimeters;
• Find your size using the dimensional mesh manufacturer.

Just note that sneakers with fingers cause a conflicting opinion among potential buyers. Someone is delighted with their exotic appearance, and someone is very critical of him, believing that the legs in such shoes look as if they were wearing gloves. Not everyone decides to buy such sneakers.

Most of the positive reviews about such shoes belong to athletes who have experienced the convenience of sneakers on their own experience.

Particularly pleasing is the thoughtful design of the sole and the quality of the tread of the finger sneakers, which allow you to easily and quickly run through dirt and stones.

For athletes, it is also very important that sneakers with fingers protect their feet from damage. All these qualities of shoes directly affect the sporting achievements of their owners.
