In the mailbag came this note from Cody who decided to trek through snow in his Classic Vibram Five Fingers to harvest a Christmas tree:
so i decided against all advice to go into the mountains ( mt.baker national forest) to harvest a christmas tree, and to make things even more interesting, i wore classics, in the snow! needless to say it was one of the most amazing experiences i have ever had in them, i could climb icy slopes and downed tress with ease unlike my friends and family in boots 
i recommend people try their fivefingers in the snow if they can handle the temperatures and snow between their toes! i loved it! thanks cody!
i recommend people try their fivefingers in the snow if they can handle the temperatures and snow between their toes! i loved it! thanks cody! I don't know whether to call Cody brave or crazy — but I do know he has some stout feet to handle snow 'tween his minimally clad toes!
Hope you found a good tree, Cody! If nothing else, sounds like you had a great experience!
About the Author — I founded BirthdayShoes.com in April 2009 on realizing just how much I enjoyed having "free feet" - I mostly wanted to use them for weights, sprints, and plyometrics (I'm not much of a runner!). I'm a Googler by day and minimalist footwear aficionado by night; you can find me 'round Atlanta.

Wore my sprints on a 17 degree jog the other night. My toes were non-existent after the first mile. Excited for my new Treks to come, and getting some wool Injinis too. 
do you have to get larger sized vibrams if you use injinjis? what is your suggestion? 
Wow classics in the snow! Very brave! I'd be more inclined to go for my KSO's and to wear them with my Injinji socks just so my feet are a little warmer!
