Choosing the right size:
FiveFingers are fitted by actual foot length so when ordering please follow the sizing guide below to help achieve the best fit. It is quite normal to end up being quite a different size from your normal shoe.
How to measure your foot:
For best results in finding your size we recommend measuring both feet, heel to toe:
Standing with your heels against a flat wall
1.Slide ruler under each foot
2.Be sure to measure the end of the longest toe
3.Take the longer of the two measurements
If your foot length varies by more than 0.4cm, it will be difficult to get a precise fit for both feet.
If your second toe is more than 0.4cm longer than your big toe it will be difficult to get a precise fit
Sizing Guide:
Special Note:
Again, it should be noted that while most but not every foot fits well within FiveFingers, they are a very different approach to traditional footwear and "break" a lot of the old rules of what a shoe should be.
It's important to understand that the "break in" time for your foot to get used to the complete lack of padding and support can vary from person to person. Some people put them on and in a few days they feel great, for others the process can take a few weeks to be able to wear them distance running or all day casually. For a few the process can take months before they are truely comfortable for all day wear.
If you have known problems with your feet or are unsure if FiveFingers are for you please feel free to send us an e-mail and we can work through your situation to see if the FiveFingers are right for you.
What if they don't fit me when I get them home?
Because of the toe fitting element of the Vibram Five Fingers they, on rare occasions don't fit, or are just the wrong size. We understand it is not always possible to try them on so if you order a pair and find they are not fitting as expected please send us an e-mail so we can arrange for a return / exhange or refund.
