Vibram USA, the company that makes glove-like FiveFingers running shoes, has settled a class action suit about its ad claims, mostly to avoid additional expenses, per court filings. The first of several complainants filed a suit in Vibram's home state of Massachusetts in 2012, claiming the company deceived consumers by advertising that the footwear could reduce foot injuries and strengthen foot muscles, without basing those assertions on any scientific merit.
