Hi guys,

I sooo much want to purchase the VFF but I'm having a hard time finding retailers here in Canada that have them in stock. I was at the local MEC here, I looked at the MEC online site as well but everywhere it is out of stock.

I know I could order them from the US, but i want to avoid to wait that long and to pay duties and such that doesn't add any value to the VFF per se as I'm not big on the money these days.

So fellow Canadians, where did you get your VFF and where can I get them online in a Canadian Online Store.

P.S. I live in Victoria, BC

Thanks a lot, Tserb

So I ordered the last pair from MEC from Ottawa and they are going to ship it here for me. That's the best I was able to find. Not my favorite color but you take what you can get, right? Thanks everybody though for your answers! – MasterB Sep 13 2010 at 16:55

Hi Tserb. I live in Toronto. I've been unable to find a reliable source for VFFs. Thus, I bought my 4 pairs of VFFs online, from vibramfivefingers.com .

I believe that MEC will order a pair of VFFs for you if you prepay. However, I don't know if they'll order any model, or just the ones that the store usually stocks.

I'd call them and ask.

Europe Bound might have them. I ordered mine from vibramfivefingers.com. The wait isn't so bad (although I am closer here in the east coast) and I didn't have to pay duties. The only problem is that some models are stores exclusives, which is a total bummer.

Europe Bound did have them but only a limited selection of sizes/models. – RedhawkRagnar Sep 12 2010 at 17:44

FastTrax in Edmonton carries a very good supply generally:

I don't know if they ship or not. As others have noted, MEC does carry them at some locations.

Little update, they sell them at Atmosphere which is the outdoor division of Sport Experts. (I'm in Quebec.)

Local retailers are having a hard time keeping them in stock here in the San Diego area as well. I am hearing rumors that demand is outstripping supply.

Saw some for pretty cheap on EBay last night! So if you know your size or if the company accepts returns you'd be good to go!

They do sell at SportChek. Whether they have any in stock is a different matter. I have seen some models on sale for as little as $60.00. Right now on their site they have a buy one get 50% off the next pair.
