The Vibram Five Fingers Fan Community

By Justin Owings on Mar 8, 2010 | In general | Leave a comment »

A couple weeks back I set up a page on BirthdayShoes to list blogs (or other blog-like websites) whose owners are "barefoot-powered" in their workouts, training, or lifestyles and want to connect and network within the Vibram Five Fingers fan community.

How does this work? It's pretty simple. Let's say you blog about your kettlebell workouts (which you do in your Vibrams). By being on the Vibram Five Fingers Fan Community page, other VFF fans can find your site and learn how you're using VFFs to compliment your KB training. Or if you run and are training with Vibram Five Fingers, it's the same thing. Maintaining a list like this simply helps to connect the community together so folks can knowledge-share and meet other VFFers with common interests and goals.

So far, 13 15 19 21 23 27 40 bloggers have joined this barefoot-powered "webring." Check them out here!

VFF Fans unite!

If you'd like to be seen on the VFF Communitylist, just take a stroll over to the links page and grab the widget code. Slap it somewhere on your site (sidebar or footer usually works) and alert me to it being "online" and I'll add you to the list promptly! If the list gets big enough, it might make sense to break it into categories (like weight lifting, running, kettlebells, etc.).

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.
