Vibram 5 fingers

Hi All.

During our session last Thursday 6am a few of us were discussing the benefits of the 5 fingers. I got my first pair recently and love training in them. My wife has had them for a couple of years now and finally convinced me to get some.

My question is does anyone have a contact where we can can get the shoes any cheaper??

Thanks in advance

Hey Andrew,

I think we were discussing them on Thursday!
I am a member of another forum (http://www.birthdayshoes.com), and there is a retailer in the US called GSS Gear offering a 20% discount to members of the birthdayshoes forum.

Quite good value - it means that KSOs go from $85 to $68.  Shipping per pair is about $25?

This is all US dollars of course.

Adam could probably tell more.

But an old member that I haven’t seen around in a while. Will Levy, was supposed to be getting some after FIFEST in Sydney last year… may have even been the year before. Sounded like he was going to become an agent at the time. Then went quite.

Might be worth chasing up if there is interest again. Will managed a gym in South Yarra I think.

I enjoy catching things with my mind.

Yep I think Andrew Mc is spot on re Will.  I believe he is at Genesis Caufield and they stock Vibram.  not sure what discount etc. but worth checking out.  Let Will know you train at cfvic, not saying he will give you a discount as i haven’t spoken to him about it but I’m sure he will give you great service.


Andrew C, I thought you had some on order did they never turn up?  Hope your training is going well!

I’d love to recommend Will but he’s not as cheap as getting your own from the USA.

Hey Scott
I got mine but who can resist a discount! And my wife loves these things.. to the point where she was considering white ones for our wedding last year!

Thanks again to you all for the info!

Adam - Simon and I (and possibly Andrew) are going to be ordering soon.
Do you know what size/colour you want?  I can add you to our order as I’ve already received a first quote from GSS Gear.

Hi Yen

I should know by tonight hopefully so that I don’t slow the process down..

No prob Andrew - just let me know size, style and colour when you know.

Something to note is that they do not have all sizes at the moment as they are waiting on a shipment from Vibram, so shipping may be delayed.  I will ask GSS to let me know what exactly they have in stock and when they can ship. 

Worse case, they can always do two shipments if you are after the VFFs in a hurry.
