Vibram Five Fingers: Running Barefoot in Hong Kong
Being the first store in Hong Kong to launch Vibram FiveFingers, Escapade Sports offers both men and women a range of models to suit different activities in an eclectic range of colours including hot pink, a conservative black, funky grey, camouflage and blazing red. Light, thin, snug on the sole, the five separated toes can move independently and adjust to the ground’s irregularities providing excellent grip. The extremely flexible outsole caters for an enhanced tactile dimension on most kinds of surfaces stimulating a re-education of the body to hold its balance.
The uses are limitless, as the shoe is at home in any environment. From serious athletes, hikers and water sports enthusiasts to city dwellers, these shoes look and feel good on anyone. Their unique design and hot colours also make them the perfect fashion accessory. Rocks and rough terrain are no problem, you can even take them for a swim as water doesn’t phase them at all. Whatever the purpose, they are easy to clean just pop them in the washing machine.
Not only do the FiveFingers look good, they can also be good for your health. The stylish shoe can deliver positive health benefits by leveraging all of the body’s natural biomechanics, so you can move as nature intended. Vibram FiveFingers can help to strengthen muscles in the feet and lower legs and improve the range of motion in ankles, feet and toes. The shoe also helps to eliminate heel lift to align the spine and improve posture, stimulating neutral function which is important for balance.
The secret to the award-winning design is the rubber outsole; a very thin, surprisingly light and ergonomically shaped platform that allows the foot to move freely to “feel” the surface of the ground. The upper part of the shoe is soft and elastic, wrapping the foot with an abrasion resistant second skin.
