Roll Tide at the SEC Championship in VFFs

By Justin Owings on Dec 8, 2009 | In User Stories | Leave a comment »

LEFT: "Here I am wearing my two week old black KSOs right before kickoff of the Southeastern Conference Championship game in Atlanta on Saturday December 5, 2009!" RIGHT: "Here's my black KSOs during the awarding of the SEC Championship Trophy to the game winning Alabama Crimson Tide!"

For some reason I had a feeling there would be at least one person at this past weekend's SEC Championship sporting VFFs — lo and behold James emailed me a couple photos he snapped while at the game as he cheered on the Alabama Crimson Tide to victory over the Florida Gators:

I absolutely love my shoes, and my shoes absolutely love my feet-and we both love our team, The Alabama Crimson Tide! These shoes kept my feet comfortable and warm while hiking around frigid downtown Atlanta. Also, while I was in Atlanta for the championship weekend I purchased my second pair of FF-the hard to find brown KSO Treks!

I'm going to the National Champonship Game against Texas at the Rose Bowl after the New Year, and will send a pic of my newly purchased brown KSO Treks at the game! I love these shoes! Roll Tide!

Glad to hear you're getting such good use out of your VFFs, James! Nothing like being able to kick back at a big football game with full foot freedom a la Five Fingers!

Incidentally, though I'm a University of Georgia alum, I was rooting for Alabama to win the SEC Championship — I lived in Tuscaloosa, Alabama for around four years as a kid — right down the street from Tommy Bowden, who was then an assistant coach at Alabama.

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!
