Vibram Furoshiki signs up new US distributor

11/01/2019
Sole and shoemaker Vibram has announced that Burten Distribution is to be the exclusive distributor for its Furoshiki line of footwear in the US.

Furoshiki takes its name from the Japanese technique of wrapping an object in a single length of cloth. It features a flexible sole that can be wrapped up into a ball. 

“Vibram’s Furoshiki line, winner of several design awards, is one of the most innovative shoe products to come to market in a long time,” said Gene Burten, president of Burten Distribution. “While it currently has a strong presence within outdoor and sports markets as a camp, recovery and travel shoe, we believe there is an opportunity for the product to be merchandised to a more fashion-oriented audience as well.”
