vibram five fingers news, reviews, and fan forums

I'm mixing up how I've previously tracked new reviews of Vibram Five Fingers (As in, my "Latest Reviews" posts). Each week that goes by brings more and more reviews with it. As these reviews come in, I will be regularly updating this page:

Vibram Five Fingers Reviews 'round the Web

That way, anyone can find every review out there on Vibram Five Fingers in one place in an orderly fashion.

Meanwhile, on Sundays, so long as I can manage it, I'll post links to Vibram and natural/barefoot running related articles and reviews of note from around the web. The goal here is to point the VFF community to interesting stuff around the net. Therefore, if you find any articles that you think might interest the barefoot-powered community, drop me an email at justin at birthdayshoes dot com with a link and any relevant information about the article (quotes, thoughts, whatever). I can't promise I'll post everything submitted, but all submissions will get consideration!

That's it for this week!

*The "link love" terminology was taken unabashedly from Mark Sisson.

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.
