Strange Vibram Furoshiki Shoes Have No Laces, Are Wrapped Directly Around Your Feet

Even if you buy the right size, many shoes do not fit perfectly, that is unless… you’re wearing Furoshiki.

Vibram, best known for their military footwear, has come up with an ingenious solution that’s based on Furoshiki, the traditional Japanese wrapping cloth used for transporting goods – first used in the Edo period to carry clothing while at the public baths.

They have no laces, but rather wrap directly around your feet, and are secured by velcro strips.
