*Barefoot shoes with a 0mm drop structure that realizes the ultimate "barefoot feeling" that gives a sense of unity between the ground and the foot. Since its release in 2011, thorough research has been conducted and continuous updates have been made to the flexibility, lightness, and comfort of the shoes. The "VAPOR GLOVE 6" is a 6mm thick model that many minimalist fans have been waiting for, with no midsole, and the key point is the "straight" feeling of grabbing the ground .
The upper is made of engineered mesh that wraps the foot softly and ensures breathability. The dial-type performance fit system "BOA® Fit System" is used to adjust the fit. The outsole is equipped with Vibram's sustainable sole "Vibram ECOTEP RECYCLE", which contains 30% recycled rubber without compromising grip and durability, and is designed to cover the foot from the toe to the heel with rubber to protect the foot from external factors.
What are Barefoot Shoes?
These barefoot-feel training shoes have a 0mm drop design, designed to bring out the natural strength of the human body, such as muscles and balance that are not normally used. While most cushioned shoes tend to have a heel landing, barefoot shoes encourage a toe landing. In addition, because the materials and functions have been stripped down to the bare minimum, they can be expected to improve the training effect by applying low load to muscles that are usually difficult to train, and to improve running movements and prevent injuries. Barefoot shoes are recommended for use not only for running, weight training, and fitness, but also for daily use as you get used to them.
