Erin Swimming in Natural Pools in Hawaii in Vibram Five Fingers

By Justin Owings on Sep 13, 2009 | In User Stories | Leave a comment »

Erin sent in the above photo of her jumping into a natural pool. The "birthday shoes shot" was taken on Moku Nui, an island off the coast of Hawaii. Here's what Erin had to say:

I'm in my KSO's on the island of Moku Nui, which is one of the two twin Mokulua Islands off the coast of O'ahu, Hawai'i. The island is a seabird sanctuary and is accessible only by sea kayak. I'm jumping into a pool on the island called the Queen's Bath. It was an amazing trip!!

Looks like you had a great time (and that cliff you're stepping off looks awfully high up to me!). Thanks for sharing, Erin!

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.

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!
