Dear Sir,

thank you for your message.

Regrettably at the moment FiveFingers are not available in China.

I hope they will soon be. Maybe there are some other countries where you could buy them? Please let me know

Feel free to contact me should you need further assistance.

Best regards,

as soon as these become more in-demand than crocs, I'm sure they'll show up soon thereafter....
or are they already that popular? I'm kinda out of the "shoes that make you look like a jackass" fashion loop.

Sometimes I feel it is maybe unbearable always be traditional Chinese girl.

have you considered other shoe models?

Don't buy here, you can get at silk market cheap, maybe 80 rmb. but they are too thick, ruins the whole point of them. They look cooler than originals, but they dont have the function and the quality is bad, I bought a pair to test.

There's a outdoor gear shop near Beixinqiao subway station. Behind the park. They have Vibram Fivefingers (real ones). You can try them on. The price is also reasonable.
