James' Classic V5Fs and the Aurora Borealis
By Justin Owings on Feb 4, 2010 | In User Stories | 1 comment »
Hey,
Just thought you might like this pic! I got my Classics (my first pair of VFFs) yesterday and fell in love immediately. I was wearing them round my apartment to break them (and my feet) in, when I looked out the window... and there was the best display of the Aurora Borealis that I've seen during my time in Iceland. I grabbed my camera bag and ran out the door. I ran a good 5 minutes to my usual photo spot, and loved every second of it in my VFFs. No pain at all, despite my feet never having ever experienced this before. ...
So there you go. Beautiful shoes, and a beautiful view. What more could you want? Ok, maybe some warmth...
Cheers,
James
I'm impressed James was able to catch such a beautiful picture with not only his FiveFingers but also the Aurora Borealis to boot. Apparently this photo was taken in below freezing temperatures (and of course, at night, so you gotta get a longer exposure!).
Glad you had such a great induction into VFF foot freedom! Beautiful shot!
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.Justin Owings+ has written 754 articles and 302 comments.
