If you're looking to replicate the training benefits of running barefoot but you don't want to wreck your feet then you need a good pair of Vibram FiveFingers. Luckily, we've got a pair to give away here on JOE.
They might look like a cross between a pair of socks and a pair of trainers, but the Vibram FiveFingers are actually the latest in training footwear. Training in Vibram FiveFingers allows the natural biomechanics of your foot to work better and while we regularly wear shoes that make our foot muscles lazy, weak and more injury prone, FiveFingers actually help to strengthen your feet.
There’s a huge range of colours and styles available over on www.barefoot.ie and the most popular pair, the KSO’s, retail at only €95 per pair. However, you won’t have to reach for your wallet just yet as the kind folks at Vibram have given us a pair of KSO’s to give away.
All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is to answer the simple question below. If you're stuck, which you shouldn't, head on over to www.barefoot.ie to find the answer:
