< p > the privately-held company has offered to pay $3 million 750 thousand to consumers who buy "a href=" //www.pmae.cn/news/index_x.asp "five fingers shoes < /a", and said the company will stop advertising five fingers shoes with health functions.

< /p >

P plaintiff filed the lawsuit in the Massachusetts District Court in the United States. They accused Vibram of claiming that five fingers can exercise muscle and prevent injury, so the price of each pair of five fingers is set to close to 100 dollars.

There is no basis for such a statement.

< p > the reconciliation proposal proposed by the company was submitted to the court last week and is awaiting approval.

Court documents showed that if the settlement plan was approved, consumers who bought Vibram five finger shoes in March 2009 may get a refund of 94 dollars per pair of shoes.

More than 24 Vibram five fingers shoes can be refunded.

Jofre, chief executive of P > Vibram USA, said that the company proposed reconciliation in order to avoid the cost of long-term entanglement in legal proceedings, according to an interview with USA (Mike Gionfriddo).

He said the company still explicitly denied the charges.
