I wonder if you can press those Garmin GPS device buttons with your VFF-shod toes!

Look closely and you'll see two different pairs of VFF Classics at the Hersey Park.

Ellyn (Who has previously been seen mini-golfin' here) sent in the above photos taken on a "VFF Road Trip" with her sister. Ellyn wrote:

This summer my sister and I took a Roller Coaster Road Trip from Wisconsin to Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey, Hershey Park in Pennsylvania, and Cedar Point in Ohio. We also spent an evening in Atlantic City to stroll down by the beach. We wore our VFF Classics at the parks each day and ended up with some pretty awesome VFF tan lines! We got so many comments and questions about our shoes that we created a little business card with information that we could hand out to people in the future. They come in very handy and have helped to make a few VFF converts!

Ellyn sent in an image of the aforementioned card:

Many folks in the Five Fingers fan community have considered making a card to pass on to inquiring minds. Looks like Ellyn actually put one together!

Looks like you two had a good time on the road!

ToddVibram should include 50 of those cards in every shoebox. I can't wear my VFFs anywhere without becoming an uncompensated salesperson. I don't really mind, but a set of cards would at least make my new "job" a bit simpler.

Tim RedingWhen I first purchased my VFF's in 2007, I contacted Vibram in hopes of getting some kind of running sponsorship. I didn't get sponsored, but they sent me a box of cards similar to those to pass out to people explaining what they are and the website. So, they do (or did) make them.
