Vibram Five Fingers (VFFs) are available in Dubai. The Society Shop in Festival City has stock of KSO, Sprint, Flow and Bikila VFFs. However, at AED 950 (£160 or $257) for the KSO or Sprint, and an eye-watering AED 1,100 (£180 or $300) for the Flow or Bikila, they are MUCH more expensive than you'd pay in either Europe or the US! Call them on +971 4 232 6550 to check availability in your size before you head down there.
In the barefoot community there’s lots of information about spotting fakes. To do this, check that the colours and styles you’re about to purchase to make sure they exist in the Vibram palate on their website. I certainly don’t condone fakes, but I can understand the demand since Vibrams are very expensive for what is just 3mm of moulded rubber and a fabric cover.
UPDATE 4th AUGUST 2011: Vibram Five Fingers are available from Adventure HQ located in Dubai’s Times Square shopping centre with prices starting at AED 515. Finally, thank God someone has seen the sense to stock these at a reasonable price, well done Adventure HQ. Huge thanks to Jason for the tip off! https://www.facebook.com/AdventureHQme?sk=wall#!/AdventureHQme?sk=info
LATEST UPDATE 19th JANUARY 2012: Vibram Five Fingers are available from The Athlete's Foot in seven locations across the UAE, see here for more info: http://barefootindubai.blogspot.com/2012/01/athletes-foot-in-uae-is-now-selling.html

this looks like a blatant advert - didn't take long for you to go all commercial did it, not with La Hedley pulling the strings.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back GG! I've missed your words of wisdom!
ReplyDeleteHope all is well and looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks! Did you notice the link to the bloke in my sidebar?
i've been watching from the sidelines all along. i'm not sure about this font. particularly in bold. otherwise the frequent pics of fit young ladies is most welcome. other areas of amusement was you doing that running thing with sarah filming.
ReplyDeleteI'm not keen on the font either, best of a bad bunch I'm afraid, but I'll try again to find something better. I think you've hit the nail on the head of what this blog really needs... ladies! My next post has a video of me running bare-chested, who wants to see that?
