Vibram FiveFingers Classic for Women

The Classics are the original model of Vibram FiveFingers, and many feel they are still the best. They are simple and minimalist, but don’t let that fool you. You’d be surprised what you can do with slightly more than a glove rubberbanded to your foot.

  • If you’re just looking for a great casual minimalist shoe

You Shouldn’t Buy These FiveFingers If

If you’re thinking about a pair of FiveFinger Classics, you should probably avoid them if you see any of the following in your future:

  • Rough trails: Opt for something with a little extra sole thickness to avoid rock bruising, or a model with more tread for better grip.
  • Fast moving water: You may opt for something with laces or strap for a more secure fit, as these may get pulled off your feet in rushing water.
  • Extreme hot or cold (if you’re sensitive to temperature): these don’t provide much insulation against the elements

Technical Specs

  • 3.5mm Vibram rubber sole
  • Razor-siped for traction
  • Abrasion resistant stretch-nylon upper
  • Approx. 10.6 oz per pair (Give or take, depending on size)
