According to court documents reviewed by Runners World Newswire, 154,927 claims were received in the class action suit against Vibram USA, representing 279,570 pairs of FiveFingers. The lawsuit, filed two years ago and recently settled, alleged Vibram used unsubstantiated claims about the health benefits of running in its FiveFingers shoes to increase their sale.

As reported, Vibram in May settled the suit for $3.75 million. The suit applied to anyone who purchased FiveFingers in the U.S. from Mar. 21, 2009 to May 27, 2014.

Of the $3.75 million settlement fund, class members will split
$2,262,726, according to the Runners World Newswire report. Assuming valid claims for 268,570 pairs of shoes, each claimants will be reimbursed $8.44 per pair. About 4 to 5 percent of claims are expected to be rejected.

Initially, the proposed settlement filed with the court noted that that, based on similar settlements, it was reasonable for class members to expect to receive between $20 and $50 per pair.

Vibram denied any wrongdoing in the case but settled “to avoid to substantial expense, burdens, and uncertainties associated with the continued litigation of these claims and cases,” it said in court documents.
