Coastal Urge Offers Revolutionary Vibram Fivefingers Footwear

Coastal Urge is adding the unique glove-styled FiveFingers® to its footwear line. Designed by Vibram®, the worldwide leader in high performance footwear soles, FiveFingers is the first and only footwear to offer the exhilarating freedom of going barefoot with the protection and surefooted grip of a Vibram sole. Coastal Urge is currently carrying the FiveFingers Classic, Sprint, KSO, Flow, KSO Trek, Moc and Performa designed for running, fitness training, standup paddle boarding and yoga- wherever your feet take them.

The first and only footwear to offer the exhilarating freedom of going barefoot with the protection and surefooted grip of a Vibram sole, FiveFingers add a unique sense of feel to any activity, putting the user more in touch with his or her natural surroundings. Wearing FiveFingers can improve balance, agility, and general foot health. And, using FiveFingers as an after sport recovery shoe, can reduce potential injuries by strengthening foot muscles while improving range of motion.

Originally developed as a “barefoot alternative” for sailing, climbing, and light trekking, FiveFingers footwear is quickly gaining popularity among runners; elite athletes; yoga and Pilates practitioners; fitness enthusiasts; windsurfers; kite boarders; and kayakers.

“For Coastal Urge the shoe is a natural fit,” explains Jeoffrey Nathan, Owner of Coastal Urge. “Our customers are always looking for new ways to experience the outdoors and FiveFingers is that ‘one-of-kind’ product they will love.”

“FiveFingers has taken on a life of its own, as athletes from a variety of outdoor sports embrace the benefits of barefooting,” explained Tony Post, president, Vibram USA. “Whatever your sport or activity, FiveFingers liberates your body to move in a healthy, more natural way.”

Each style features a patent-pending Vibram non-marking outsole designed to follow the contours and flex points of the foot and toes with razor-siping for a sure grip on wet, slippery surfaces. The inner footbed utilizes the Aegis Microbe Shield™ inert antimicrobial application that kills odor-causing microbes without any adverse environmental impact.
