Vibram Fivefingers Bikila: chaussure spéciale course à pied
En juillet 2010 débarque en France les nouvelles Vibram Fivefingers Bikila spécialement conçus pour la course à pied. « Bikila » vient du nom du coureur de légende Abebe Bikla. Un design de semelle identique à la Vibram Speed déjà disponible en France mais avec des matériaux plus solides.
- La petite partie en gomme noir fait 4mm d’épaisseur
- le bleu c’est la semelle la plus flexible.
- La partie jaune est un peu plus dur que les autres parties pour ne pas avoir mal aux pieds.
De plus en plus de coureurs utilisent les Fivefingers pour leur confort et leur légèreté d’ailleurs un marathon a été gagné avec de Fivefingers. Le 15 mai dernier, Patrick Sweeney termine le marathon Californien de Palos Verdes en 2H37

pour ma part j’utilise des kso noir et orange pour courir en amateur, et c’est toujours un plaisir de courir avec. je compte acheter les bikila bientôt!
j’ai des Bikila depuis septembre et je les utilise régulièrement aux entrainements et sur qqs courses. Je viens de faire un semi marathon : résultat : fracture de fatigue pied gauche au 3ème kilo et fracture pied droit au 16ème, la douleur étant supportable j’ai terminé la course! au bout de 10 mn je ne pouvais plus marcher. Le concept de courir pied nu est certes très intéressant et j’étais conquis des les premières utilisations (et je le suis encore!) mais il faut être très très progressif pour arriver à un usage régulier, ci-joint un article que j’aurais du lire avant de me lancer!
Progress slowly…
Consider barefoot running a « spice »; start by incorporating it into your regimen once every two days.
A typical first session might be starting on grass with grabbing a golf ball with your toes to warm up your arches. This stretches your toes and naturally forms an arch in your foot. Then take a « tiger walk » about 50-100 yards on the grass, grabbing the ground as you walk. This teaches you how to feel and reach for the ground. This is done very slowly so you can focus on form. The first day, cover no more than a quarter-mile.
As your body adapts over time, start to run short intervals (after warming up) of 50-100 yards with walking to recover.
Progress to warming up and running short distances of 1/4 to 1/2 mile. (Seriously, folks, very slow progression!)
A couple of their rules…
Jessica and Michael advise running with shoes in your hands, just in case you reach that point and need to call it a day.
Although they give guidance on how to run barefoot on a treadmill, they prefer outdoor running on grass and soft terrain.
If you feel pain, stop immediately. If you keep running (because we’re type A’s) and you still feel pain, stop. It’s your body’s way of telling you that you’ve done enough.
The 1 = 3 Rule: For beginners, for every 1 mile you run barefoot, it’s the equivalent of running 3 miles shod (with shoes). For example, if you plan to run 6 miles and you start with 1 mile barefoot, since 1 mile equals 3, you can run another 3 miles with shod (with shoes) to reach your total. If you run 2 miles barefoot, it’s the equivalent of running 6 miles shod.
For your first three months, follow the 1 = 3 Rule. For the next three to six months, it’s the 1 = 2 Rule. After the first year, 1 = 1. The more you get used to barefoot running, the more natural it will be.
My two cents: I believe barefoot activity can be weaved gingerly into your routine, first with strength exercises, then with drills as Jessica and Michael advocate and then — if it continues to benefit you — with running. Remember, it’s not an « all or nothing » movement; if you are intrigued by this but don’t want to go the whole route, you can incorporate some barefoot training into your routine by performing resistance exercises without shoes (not recommended for a weight room).
Once you determine what may be causing your foot pain, Mo, this may be a good route to developing foot and lower leg strength to avoid re-injury. Strength exercises like single-leg squats, lunges, and calf raises done without the support of shoes provides a quick and easy means to building balance and strength from your toes to your nose. When that gets easy, add balance devices like a mat, disks, or wobble boards to continue to progress. It’s also a great way to become mindful of the body in movement and develop a greater level of inner strength.
Happy Trails,
je pense pour ma part qu’il faut être très progressif dans son utilisation, mais les avantages et les bénéfices sont très intéressant!
tant musculaire que pour le cœur!
