Derek Relaxing After Class in KSOs

By Justin Owings on Oct 18, 2009 | In user stories | Leave a comment »

Derek finds a nice spot on campus to relax after class on a first floor grassy terrace.

Derek ("Zeitheld" on the forums) sent in the above photo showing off just how easy it is to enjoy instant shoe-less relaxation via the foot freedom provided by KSO fivefingers — in this case, on a Friday afternoon after class at Temple University:

Here's a pic of me relaxing after class by laying out in a patch of grass in my black KSOs, enjoying one of the last warm days of the year. The grass is actually not on the ground, it is on the first floor. Between the two lecture halls is a raised landing with cement pedestals to sit on, and a large square of grass that is raised off the floor by about 2 feet, encased like a sandbox. A perfect place to just lay down and stare at the sky.

Thanks, Derek!

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. If you want to catch up with what I'm doing outside of the site here, follow me on twitter @bdayshoes or @justinno or check out my personal site JustinOwings.com.

Note: This site is not owned, operated, or otherwise affiliated with Vibram or Vibram FiveFingers. The site is intended for entertainment purposes only. Per FTC regulation, it should be assumed that products reviewed on BirthdayShoes were provided to the blogger(s) for free or at discounted cost. Though this is certainly not always the case, we'd rather be in compliance with FTC rules & regulations governing bloggers and product reviews under the assumed "most biased" letter of the law. That said, if it's not immediately obvious, this site is a fan site for minimalist footwear such as Vibram Five Fingers, which is to say that there is a stated bias in favor of these products. Despite our stated bias, between the hundreds of user-submitted stories, the thousands of forum posts (both positive and negative, warts and all!), and the in-depth resources and guides, we do our best to provide in depth information on all products reviewed. In the end, though we strive to be a helpful resource and believe in integrity and honesty, we expect you to do your part — reading the research and making educated decisions (Read: take responsibility for your actions!). We have also passed on reviewing products (not VFFs per se) that were provided to us for free but did not "cut the mustard." If you have any questions about this disclaimer, please contact us!
