Hi all,
Just wonder anyine knows bout this:
www.vibramfivefingers.com

Remember going barefoot as a child? It’s the way you first discovered and conquered your world—without the constraint of shoes. Or the sense of duty you acquired later on. Now you can experience that same physical and visceral sensation in Vibram FiveFingers—the only footwear to offer the exhilarating joy of going barefoot with the protection and sure-footed grip of a Vibram® sole. FiveFingers footwear connects you to the earth and your surroundings in a way that is simply not possible in conventional shoes. It puts you in touch with the earth beneath your feet and liberates you to move in a more natural, healthy way.
FiveFingers stimulate the muscles in your feet and lower legs to build strength and improve range of motion. Our customers report an increased sense of balance, greater agility, and visibly improved posture. Choose from a variety of designs to cover the wide range of activities you would rather do barefoot—everything from fitness training and yoga, to running and trekking, to kayaking and sailing. Discover a level of performance and a connection to your environment that is positively without peer.

In Japan still not trendy I guess..but Really wanna make a trend if in Malaysia..bcoz my Malaysian friend said theres no shop selling this Vibram in Malaysia, only can buy thru online? Is it true?
IF yes then I should buy in Japan then...hope u all out there have somes infos to share...
Cheers

Imitation is the sinceret form of flattery...

Can try contacting Corezone in SS2. They sell outdoor stuff includes climbing gears and shoes. They might have.

No, they don't have. Didn't see it in their store. Can check their website: http://mycorezone.com/

But I know Lafuma in Bangsar like someone mentioned carries it.

TQ...another option to view it.....bought the fake one before seems a few marks of authentic stuff!

I have tried so many outlets still couldnt find any..

I think there is sum1 invented it at malaysia and sell it..saw it on newspaper last year

all my trainers at Original Chief BootCamp wear it.. but i think they bought in Spore. Do you want their contact details so u can ask them personally?

I bought mine at Lafuma Bangsar. Celebrity Fitness don't have my size and color.

Added on June 2, 2011, 6:22 pmHowever there's a guy on this forum selling black KSO size 40. He said he bought from USA. Only got 1 pair.

This post has been edited by mr.ngiau: Jun 2 2011, 06:22 PM

hey guys, i've got a fren who works in Lafuma Bangsar sez that the RRP for the first gen 5fingers (KSO, Sprint, Classic) is below RM 449 while second gen (Bikila, Komodo Sport and KSO Treksport) is RM 479. The price they're selling is controlled by the Singaporean distributor

hope this is good info for u guys

OK I found this info on my bootcamp page:

This post has been edited by day2dayshopaholic: Aug 16 2011, 10:43 PM

ah....

let me updates you!

Vibram FiveFingers now is available in Running Lab @ Tropicana City Mal...... can try it out there!

btw, i got my VFF Bikila from Singapore last year May.

It's available in Novena Square the OutDoor sport shop, 2nd floor, purchased at SGD200 (include GST 7%) and claimed back the GST refund in airport...

Im just loving it for workout... but too bad, I'm still not use to it with running for more than 15KM...

YOU ARE PRMOTIG YOUR OWN SITE HERE...its ot fair dude!

This post has been edited by tanoshi: Aug 19 2011, 02:39 PM

There's NO WAY Vibram selling this RM250 cheap!

Singapore is the only authorised distributor for South East Asia!

It's just sound NOT RIGHT...

Anyways, no one will stop you from buying.

Im using ORIGINAL VIBRAM BIKILA... It's been a year plus... still in good condition.

yeah...MOD should rmove his/her post..... disadvantageous? not fair....beause this is not a selling threads!

depends on how strict the MOD want to be lol...

anyways, i sprained my knee... gotta use Vibram more frequent....

so comfortable and attractions!

Corezone doesn't carry fivefingers.

i've been to Lafuma Bangsar and they carry fivefingers. They also place special orders if ur interested in any particular model/size/colour

have u go to Tropicana City Mall Ground Floor Running Lab shop????

they selling VFF...

do you guys know what is the purpose of this shoe?

theres this shop in sungai wang ... sells mostly asics stuff (not BB plaza side).. very small shop ... its in front of the stair case ... i cant remember what's the name ... it LOOKS real cause the asics stuff also looks real ... they also sell Tevas which i think is real also.

BUT the catch is ... seems like the VFF shoes are around rm250 - rm300 which is rather cheap? alot of size 40s i see but not many left

sg wang many imitation products...

buy from Running Lab @ Tropicana City Mall...

It's confirm not fake...

ill check it out again when im back in kl. any clear cut signs to see whether its fake?

if you are in SG, try go Novena Square, outdoor sport shop, 1st floor. Confirm no fake.

there's way to detect fake, but im not clear, u can google it.

+1 a lot of choices ~

Saw it there but the other day I went, no one entertained me.
So eventually went back to Yellowstone aka Lafuma to get a pair of KSO TrekSport.

wah... so bad their customer service?

Don't know....maybe I'm not the type that look "rich"...
Was standing there with my wife and baby looking at that section for quite sometime as well as walking in the shop for awhile, but the only person at the counter just never bother to approach us. So just be it... their losses, not mine.

However, their selection is more than what Lafuma store have.

lafuma and celebrity fitness are authorized reseller, selling at cekik darah price to cover for their expensive rentals, etc., and trying to keep the product "exclusive". got mine from mudah, rm250. careful though, lotsa fake ones.

i know the sg wang shop. that is a very old shop. been there since 80s. they kept their reputation with original stuffs. but vffs looks suspicious. the embroidery on kso looks like cheap work.

Vibrams are expensive for pair of "sandal" looking shoes (Sarcasm there, k).

Good news is other reputable shoe retailiers are coming up with their versions of Vibram. FILA's got their own called Skeletoes. Got a set for half the price of Vibram.

Vibram shoes take a little getting used due to its flatness. But once you are used to it, it's great especially for light impact activities.

No matter how others imitate it, the vibram essence isn't about the funky finger design, rather, it's the way they make shoes bottom with promising quality and grips

Huh what did you get for RM250?!
Even the Classic cost US$75, lets say we go by the exchange rate 3.3, then it RM247.50.

My Treksport I got it for RM469. US price is US$100, going by that exchange rate, yeah it should only cost RM330. If I'm going to ship it back on my own, most probably another RM60-80 for shipping cost Thus around RM400 I would say. So I don't think the price of RM469 is that "expensive" considering I don't have to order myself fearing the size and cutting as well as waiting for a week for it to arrive.

Maybe if I am to travel down to Singapore, will probably get it cheaper. But then again, travelling cost?...

Whoever getting the RM250 deal on KSO for sure is getting the fake one. The fake one is 95% identical to real one, why I know, cause I am the victim. But should functionally the same. I from reliable source running feel is the same. Of course I don expect it to last but still holidng well until now.

Cheap thing aint real, real thing aint cheap for VFF.

how long already?

my bikila which i brought in May 2009, are still in good condition... now no running on VFF, but workout in gym...

Hi all!

Running has been my primary form of exercise for many years, and recently I started having what I suspect is shin splints.

So I'm going to try out this VFF to see if my shin splints gets better.

Any of you know which store carries the most selection and choice of VFF? Is it Lafuma Bangsar, Running Lab Tropicana Mall or Celebrities Fitness?

Hi...

Er... mind you, VFF is not cheap cost about RM400++ to RM500 if you get from SG and managed claims 7% GST refund.

A simple solution would be running barefoot of soft ground like field in park, beaches...
You can try jog slowly on the field, on the grass to try out how's your running feel and ur shin splints.

If this show improvement over time, then you might consider getting VFF to run on road and farer... .

this just my 2cents.

Yes, you're right. Totally agree with you. It's quite a significant investment.

I did not decide to buy VFF overnight. I have started running with those minimalist shoe made for water sports, where it doesn't have thick sole like normal running shoe.

Because of the thin sole, I had to change my running techniques and my shin splint pain actually starting to disappear gradually.

But I started getting blisters between my toes, because those water sport shoe wraps around your toes quite tightly.

So I finally decide to get VFF. Although its expensive it will be worth it for me as running is my primary form of exercise.

Because it is so expensive, I want to make sure that I will be getting the right model. That is why I like to know which store carries the most model for me to test it out.

Glad to see you been into running and know what's you are getting.

Bikila - specific design for running.

KSO - lot of runners use this before Bikila is born.

Now, Komondo - new improved model from KSO.

I have friend get the VFF from US store under RM300, as you know VFF did not ship outside USA, thus he using 3rd party forwarder services which uses US address and from there ship back to Msia.

It's up to individual on which channel to get VFF.

anyway, no comment on your mentioned stores in KL.

Wow, thanks for the quick guide on the models. I think I'm leaning towards Bikila, but of cause will try it out first.

nice naked shoes... just saw this in London..
actually this vibrant from which country? which country selling most cheap?

Vibram is US brand.

guess US prices should be the most cheapest.

IC, thanks bro.. thought UK brand like fitflop

when i called, they quote me around RM400++.

can't say if fake or not...if colors is diff from Vibram website, probably fake. if you have high in heel, probably best to take LS type VFF.

is shoe taxable by kastam if order thru amazon.com? anyone done that?

just came back from US with KSO, USD 90 after tax ... much cheaper than the retailers here

brb aiming to achieve runners high tonigt on KSO...

get to know 1 of LYN runner who buy VFF from US online. he was using 3rd party forwarder....

he brought online and sent to US address and from there shipped back to Msia for around RM300 plus.


what to do... if someone no access to internet and some 3rd party forwarder, he have to pay the price.

got my self a SeeYa from running lab tropicana mall.
so far so good !!!

wei.....kalau korg nak tau vff tu fake korg leh check kt website ni....dye bgtaw cara nk check vff fake.....kt sini gak dye bgtaw laman web yg jual fake vff....korg g website ni....

pkiensing : what else that they got? and how much of it?

hey hey...I just got replica Vibram...so cool...the guys selling RM180.00 wink wink

to be honest, it's not encourage to mentions you have a replica vibram online.

you will never know when you are inviting trouble to urself.

that's on serious side.

Just got my pair of Komodosport from Runninglab (TCM) yesterday. It was love at first fit! Can see myself clocking pretty high mileage with this pair for many runs to come. Highly recommended to anyone who would wish to explore barefoot running further
