DO YOU MAKE WIDTHS?
Vibram® FiveFingers® use a stretch fabric upper that accommodates most medium and wide widths (up to EEE) comfortably, as our business grows we hope to offer more sizing options.

DO VIBRAM® FIVEFINGERS® FLOAT?
Only momentarily when dry, once thoroughly wet they lose their buoyancy and will sink.

CAN I USE VIBRAM® FIVEFINGERS® IN FAST MOVING WATER?
The Sprint, KSO and Flow offer secure hook and loop closures and can be used for a variety of water sports and activities. However, the original Vibram® FiveFingers® Classic should not be used in fast moving water. Because the Classic fits low on the foot, the water current or pressure can pull the product off of your heel.

WILL YOU MAKE ADDITIONAL SIZES?
All products are currently offered in sizes 40-47 for men and 36-42 for women. Smaller or larger sizes are occasionally offered in selected colors/styles.

ARE VIBRAM® FIVEFINGERS® A GOOD CHOICE FOR VEGANS?
Yes! Currently, every style and color of Vibram® FiveFingers® is made from vegan friendly materials. By the way, we also make dog toys for My Good Dog (http://www.mygooddog.com/) and we provide soles for Ruff Wear dog booties (www.ruffwear.com/grip_trex_dog_boots).

I WEAR ORTHOTICS. CAN I STILL WEAR VIBRAM® FIVEFINGERS®?
Vibram® FiveFingers® footwear is designed to promote better foot mechanics— naturally. An orthotic is an assistive device to support your foot’s function and help you compensate for any biological aberrations. If you have an extremely flat foot, you will need to work into wearing your FiveFingers® gradually, as your muscles will need time to adapt and strengthen.

CAN I USE MY ORTHOTICS IN MY VIBRAM® FIVEFINGERS®?
Vibram® FiveFingers® are designed to be worn directly against the sole of your foot. Putting something between the two would defeat their purpose.

CAN I WEAR VIBRAM® FIVEFINGERS® IF I HAVE WEBBED TOES OR SYNDACTYLY?
Unfortunately the design of Vibram® FiveFingers® does not accommodate webbed toes or Syndactyly. We are unable to make custom FiveFingers® to fit specific foot needs.

DO VIBRAM® FIVEFINGERS® COME IN CHILDREN'S SIZES?
Vibram® FiveFingers® start at size 34 for women, which equates to an 8 & 1/8th inch foot length. This is too big for most children but many youth sizes can fit into our smaller women’s models. Select any model of FiveFingers® to view our size conversion chart to see if your child’s foot can fit.
