This just in the mailbag from Vibram Five Fingers KSO fan Jason:

Love your website, Vibrams and real feet are great, aren't they? This shot is on the top of Mount Cutler in Cheyenne Canyon, Colorado. Actually just up the ridge from the actual summit near a steep drop off.

Love this shot as it just seems so human (in a fundamentally natural kind of way)! And yeah, real feet and Vibrams are great! Would you ever consider doing something like this while wearing conventional footwear? Full-fledged barefootedness for those with soles of steel or pseudo-barefootedness (as with fivefingers) is a confidence inpsiring thing, and it provokes outlandishly fun behavior like hanging from trees as Jason demonstrates here.

Thanks for stopping by, Jason!

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.

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!
