Vibram Furoshiki Original
Inspired by the ancient Japanese art of wrapping—Furoshiki—this innovative footwear concept from Vibram redefines comfort, flexibility, and fit. Traditionally used in Japan to wrap and carry items in cloth, Furoshiki now takes on a new form: a revolutionary shoe that quite literally wraps around your foot.
The Vibram Furoshiki Original is not just a shoe; it's a custom-fit experience. Thanks to its patented design and ergonomic stretch bands, the Furoshiki wraps securely around feet of all shapes and sizes, offering a snug, tailored feel with every wear. At the core of this innovation is Vibram’s XS City compound sole, providing durable grip and safety across urban surfaces—even in wet conditions.
Engineered for urban explorers and design enthusiasts alike, this unique model has earned global recognition in design and innovation. Accolades include the prestigious ADI Compasso d’Oro International Award, DFA Grand Award, Design Intelligence Award, and Italy’s National Innovation Prize—all celebrating the Furoshiki's groundbreaking concept and performance.
At the heart of the upper construction lies Sensitive® Fabrics, a cutting-edge Italian-made material known for its lightweight flexibility and premium feel. It enhances the overall experience, delivering breathability and freedom of movement without compromising support.
Whether you're navigating the city streets or simply seeking unmatched comfort with contemporary style, the Vibram Furoshiki Original is your go-to choice for modern urban living.

How to Measure Your Feet for the Perfect Fit
To ensure you get the right size, it's important to measure both feet from heel to toe:
- Positioning: Stand with your heels against a vertical wall.
- Measurement: Use a ruler to measure the distance from the wall to the tip of your longest toe (usually the big toe or second toe).
- Do this for both feet as they can be different.
- Comparison: Take the longer of the two measurements.
Finding Your Ideal Shoe Size
Foot shapes and sizes can vary greatly between individuals. While Vibram FiveFingers offers some adjustability, they may not suit every foot type perfectly. For the best fit, follow these steps to measure your feet accurately in centimeters or inches. Then, refer to the sizing guide below to determine your EU or UK size.
Note:
- If your foot length differs by more than 0.4 cm between feet, achieving a precise fit for both feet may be challenging.
- If your second toe is more than 0.4 cm longer than your big toe, finding a perfect fit might be difficult.
- Keep in mind that toe socks typically add about 1mm of thickness around the foot.
IMPORTANT: Always measure your feet at the end of the day or after physical activity when your feet are at their largest.
