Vibram Fivefingers V-Soul Foot Map Gets Two New Blue Colorways

— December 12, 2025 — Fashion
The new Vibram FiveFingers V-Soul Foot Map shoe now gets two new powder blue and deep blue colourways. The minimalist training shoe is designed for lightweight exercise and barefoot style movement. The V-Soul Foot Map silhouette uses a segmented sole that mirrors natural foot anatomy and a glossy polyester upper engineered for breathability. The outsole is constructed from a three-millimetre Vibram XS Trek compound designed for grip and durability. The shoe uses an adjustable hook and loop closure system rather than traditional laces.

The Powder Blue version pairs a pale blue sole with an off-white upper and red accent details. The Deep Blue version features a lavender blue sole combined with a dusty pink upper and scarlet edging along the sole perimeter. Both versions use color-matched stitching and textured upper panels.
