Vibram® fivefingers® has received two exciting awards in the US over the past weeks.

The first award was presented by Footwear Plus Magazine and recognizes the Vibram® fivefingers® KSO as “Item of the year” in the 2010 Plus Awards for Design Excellence. The award recognizes the innovation and commercial success of the KSO in the footwear market.

The second award is REI’s award “2010 Vendor of the Year” for Vibram® fivefingers®. Our valued customer, Merrell, won in the category of Outdoorwear and Vibram was honored to be recognized as the overall brand of the year. This is a very big honor for us, and perhaps among the most prestigious and important awards that Vibram® fivefingers® has won in the United States, to date.

Footwear Plus is one of the premier trade magazines in the footwear industry, while REI is the largest and most respected outdoor retailer in the United States.
