I am excited to announce that City Sports is sponsoring the first official BirthdayShoes.com contest — a giveaway of a pair of the new “barefoot running shoe” designed specifically for runners — the Vibram Five Fingers Bikila!
ANNOUNCEMENT!
The contest has ended! Winner will be contacted by email!
City Sports Vibram Five Fingers Bikila Giveaway Contest Rules
The contest winner will be selected at random from the pool of BirthdayShoes.com email subscribers as it stands at the contest’s end. The contest’s end will coincide with an announcement that City Sports has the Vibram Five Fingers Bikila available for purchase online. This is expected to be sometime in April — though as readers already know, the actual release date of the Bikila remains uncertain.
All existing, active email subscribers prior to this contest announcement are automatically entered into the drawing so long as they are still subscribed by email as of the contest’s end. If you aren’t yet subscribing to BirthdayShoes by email, in order to enter into the drawing, simply sign up for an email subscription to the BirthdayShoes blog feed and be sure to activate your subscription! The confirmation email sometimes gets hung up in email client spamtraps, so keep an eye out for it (it should arrive somewhat instantaneously)! Email subscription is free and your email will not be sold to third parties!
The randomly selected winner of the giveaway contest will get a free pair of the Vibram Five Fingers Bikila provided by City Sports!
Been hunting for the new 2010 Vibram colors?
The new KSO and Classic Vibram Five Fingers color combinations are available to buy at City Sports!
Been trying to get your feet into a pair of the new VFF KSO or Classic colors? You’re in luck. City Sports has just today (St. Patrick’s Day) had their Vibram Five Fingers stock replenished. Specifically, they now have the brand new black, grey, camouflage KSO Vibram Five Fingers for men (get them here), the Castlerock grey and green Classic Vibram Five Fingers for men (get them here) and the Stormy Sea Classic Five Fingers (get them here) available for purchase. Also, if you’ve been looking for black KSO Vibram Five Fingers, they just got a shipment of those in, too — get the men’s or women’s.
Let me end by saying “thank you” to City Sports for sponsoring this VFF giveaway and supporting the Vibram Five Fingers fan community!

I already follow the birthdayshoes.com feed through my RSS reader and really don’t want another stream of emails that I would have to skip over cluttering my inbox. Is there any way that someone could enter this AMAZING giveaway without signing up to the email feed??? I really, really, really want me some Bikila footwrapping.
Matt,
Unfortunately no, as there’s no way to track RSS feed subscribers in a way that would make the contest workable.
It’s only for a little while anyway: you can always unsubscribe after the contest is finished!

I subscribed, but like Matt, I’m trying to avoid email overload. I already visit the site and forum multiple times a day. Too bad there wasn’t a better way. But Hey .. it’s worth the pain for now to have a chance at getting free Bikilas. It’s a given that I’ll end up buying them, though I may have to wait a couple of months before splurging on a fourth pair of VFFs …
Cheers to City Sports! That’s where I got my second pair of fives.
I was visiting New York back in October, and I walk by a City Sports where a pair of black/orange KSO’s were displayed in the window.
“Say what?!”, I exclaimed.
I thought I was in the know when it came to VFF’s, but I’d never heard of or seen black/orange. Being that my other pair was the ugly brown/brown combo (the only color I could find in early ’09), I couldn’t resist buying myself a pair of black/oranges.
Justin, do you know if City Sports has an exclusive deal with Vibram? They always seem to have the new VFF products before they’re even available on the Vibram website.
Does it applicable to readers from other country as well?
I will tentatively and brashly say that “yes” international folks can win the Bikilas, but shipping may be complicated and/or take longer!
I hope I win as i’m currently running in some old nike frees and i’m broke and have been getting asked by my girlfriend who is this bikila girl i’m cheating with because I said her name in my sleep.. I told her it’s only the best running shoes on the planet and showed her online but she doesn’t believe me and wants to break up. I have to have BIKILA!!!!
Can someone clear up a few questions..1)what’s the smallest size Bikila will be offered in? Is it only for men or women too? What are all the colors? or is there a link to all this info?
Thanks loads!

Just signed up, hoping to win these as my KSO’s died a couple weeks back, don’t quite have the funds for a new pair and still not quite ready for true barefoot in the “Urban Jungle” of Chicago 😉
BTW any idea on sizing? I wear a M14 running shoe and fit well in a M46 KSO.
I’m gutted that the contest has finished. Perhaps do another one please?
Unfortunately City Sport can not ship to UK, how can I get my Bilika? My normal VFF’s are finished.
