How to wash your Vibram FiveFingers

Kalclash Fitness Twitter: / kalclashfitness
It's no secret that Vibram FiveFingers can start to smell over time and this can start to deter even the most hard core barefoot runners and natural runners. However the beauty of FiveFingers is that they are incredibly easy to wash.
In this video we look at how to care for your Vibram Fivefingers. The method is the same accross all models, Bikila, Spyridon, KSO, Trek Sport etc. They are quick and easy to wash and will be ready to run again in a few hours.

Thanks... still helpful five years later. I'm just getting in to fivefingers and paranoid about rubber degradation after ruining a pair of Blundstone's ten years ago: I'd been storing them next to a baseboard heater in my then-new house, and several months later the soles dissolved in my hand suddenly one morning. A few calls to (very helpful) Blundstone customer service determined that the heat had killed the rubber...

Been a while since I washed them. Forgot if I needed to put in dryer. Thank you for the reminder. I like to put clothes soap on the inside. Both wet and powder. Cover the entire inside. I let that dry and sit a few days. That's because the inside turns black in my pair. My own fault for not washing them enough. Plus I still ad wash soap to the load of clothes. Will do pillow case. It's an old pair. Want to keep them as good as possible. Got them in 2016. Still in great shape. Stay happy. 😊

Thanks for the video dude - I am about to wash mine for the first time and I wanted to know if they are washing machine safe so this is really handy. Another Tip I have for everyone is RE: Drying... you can hang them from a coat hanger with two clothes pegs in a window on a hot day..that works well.. or in a shower room.

StephenDeadToLife Good man. Yeah that's actually a really great tip about drying them, I'll have to try that myself! :-)

Would it be ok hand wash them with sea salt

[@SeymourKitty]

Cold water wash then air dry.

What if I wanted to shrink my pair a size or two down? Have you ever tried that? Would 90C hot water just melt the shoes? Could you try with an old pair and post the results?

Hi do you wear socks when using your vff?

[@StephenDeadToLife]

Raisa Dianne Bernardo You buy special socks with individual toes... look up "toe socks"

[@kalclashfitness]

Raisa Dianne Bernardo Yes as +StephenDeadToLife says you can buy special socks with them. I sometimes wear socks with them, but sometimes just go barefoot - depends how I feel :-)
