for the love of bare feet and vibram five fingers shoes.

This site was created in mid-April 2009 to be a central hub for reviews, pictures, ideas, experiences, activities, and everything else relating to Vibram fivefingers.

What's the big deal about FiveFingers? Simply put, they are footwear designed to accord with our biological engineering, engineering completed over the course of countless millennia and untold evolutionary iterations.

Fivefingers don't mess up the built-for-abuse design of your feet. Rather, they empower you to trod the earth unshod and free — at least, as close to it as you can imagine while still providing minimalistic protection from the concrete jungle of our modern times.

I wish more products fit as harmoniously with our core, animalistic humanity!

Suffice to say that everyone who sees you in your "birthday shoes" will be shocked, curious, intrigued, and/or think you're some sort of crazy, out-of-place ninja. That's the fun of feet, and the fun of Five Fingers!

If you're new here, be sure to check out:

• An overview and link launchpad for the various models of Five Fingers available
• What can you do in Vibram fivefingers? You name it.
• the resources page, which is a veritable compendium of reviews and information about Vibram Five Fingers.
• One fun part of this site is interviewing fivefingers fans about their birthday shoes (usually with photos).
• Finally, twitter users are often tweeting photos of their VFFs and you can see those photos live by going to VFF Now!

In short, take a look around and welcome!
