The Vibram FiveFingers series is designed to simulate walking or
running barefoot, but with the protection of a shoe. The separated toe
compartments provide the flexibility and individual muscle movements of a
bare foot, while the performance rubber sole ensures protection and
solid grip. The stretchy upper material is quick-drying and
abrasion-resistant.
While people have been running in FiveFingers from the beginning, the
Bikila is Vibram's first model designed specifically for running. Built
on an entirely new platform, the Bikila
features a Dri-Lex® covered 3mm polyurethane insole (thickest under the
ball) and a 4mm anatomical pod outsole design that offers more plating
protection, and distributes forefoot impact without compromising
important ground feedback essential to a proper forefoot strike running
form.
A more athletic padded collar and topline, a single hook and loop
closure, 3M reflective surfaces, and tear resistant TPU toe protection
finish off this breakthrough design. The Bikila is also machine
washable!

Sizing:
Sizing is determined by foot length. Vibram recommends standing with
your heels against a flat wall, sliding a ruler under each foot,
measuring the longest toe, and taking the longer of the two
measurements. If your foot length varies by more than 1/6 inch, or if
your second toe is more than 1/6 inch longer than your big toe, it may
be difficult to achieve a satisfactory fit.
Foot length in inches (+ or - 1/8") to FiveFingers Bikila sizes:
8 7/8" = 36
9 1/8" = 37
9 3/8" = 38
9 5/8" = 39
9 7/8" = 40
10 1/8" = 41
10 3/8" = 42
