These Bizarre Wrapped Sneakers Could Change Everything

Let’s face it, there is nothing worse than having to walk around all day in uncomfortable shoes.

In our quest to find amazing products that can make things a little easier, we’ve come across quite the breakthrough that could fundamentally change your view on footwear.

We’ve tried hundreds of shoes on over years and each time, we are never fully satisfied from a comfort perspective. However, Vibram may be about to change all of that.

Their latest shoe, Furoshiki, is inspired by a traditional Japanese clothing used to carry stuff around. It has no laces, only a stretchy and ultra comfy fabric along with a rubber sole.

These stylish and form fitting shoes were created by designer Masaya Hashimoto and are perfect for casually walking around, lounging, and travelling.
