Submit photos of you in your Vibram Five Fingers!
By Justin Owings on Apr 27, 2009 | In general
Do you have Vibram Five Fingers? Got a great photo of you in them — all of you and not just your feet? If you do and you're willing to have your photo and story published on birthdayshoes.com, fire an email to pics@birthdayshoes.com with the photos attached and ...
Along with your photos, please include in the email where the picture was taken, what you've been doing in your VFFs, and any other information you're willing to share. Write a little "mini-review" of your Vibrams so that others (often people who know nothing about "free feet") can benefit from you sharing your experience. Simply put, your photos and user stories are a big part of what makes birthdayshoes a great corner of the web.
Here's an example photo:
As for an example of an all around awesome submission (photos and write-up), check out Jawa's Vibram Vacation — you don't need to write as much as Jawa or send as many photos, but his is a great example of an informative VFF photo-story!
Happy VFF-photo taking!
Note 1: his site is about birthday shoes, not your birthday suit! The difference is important! I do not want to see you in your birthday suit!
Note 2: Photos submitted may be altered by birthdayshoes.com to make them suitable for the site. Submission of photos to pics at birthdayshoes dot com constitutes both an acknowledgement that you possess the full rights of submitted photos as well as a general release of all rights to the pictures to birthday shoes dot com. Basically, submission means you own the photos and are giving them to birthday shoes dot com to publish. Your email address will not be published!
Questions or comments, please email me at justinowings at birthday shoes dot com!
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 709 articles and 258 comments.

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!
