Reddit is the source for internet gold, I’m convinced. You need not look any further than the video of Al Bundy’s FiveFinger prototype (God’s Shoes) that we found there. I say this because I also found this week’s featured video on said site. Titled “My Friend’s Submission Video for Ninja Warrior. Is he doing it [...]

So, it doesn’t come as a surprise that a lot of participants are now wearing FiveFingers to get an edge in the challenges. Last year we spotted Ozzy Lusth, Survivor [...]

About a month ago we posted some picture from the Vibram store located in the SM Mall of Asia in Manila, Philippines. We weren’t really aware of this store beforehand, so we were all amazed that such a store existed and wanted to know more about it. As fate would have it, two weeks ago my [...]

Over on the MyFiveFingers Facebook Page we’ve been having a lot of fun sharing pictures of celebrities with FiveFingers photoshopped onto their feet. You’ve seen our Mitt Romney and Tim Tebow pictures, and now we’d like to present President Obama and Britney Spears. What celebrity would you like us to photoshop FiveFingers onto next?

Steven Sashen over at Invisible Shoes put together a riff on the latest craze, “Sh*t _______ Say(s)”. That blank has been filled in with everything from “my dad” to “silicon valley”, and now “barefoot runners”.

In 2011 Vibram started a marketing campaign titled ‘Your Story’, where they promote short videos of people with interesting stories involving their products. I don’t think it gets more interesting than Adam Downing, a gym owner and the man featured in our ‘Video of the Week’: He got the Vibram logo tattooed on his foot. [...]

I snapped the picture below when I was at the Navy Exchange the day after Christmas (12/26/2011). I was rummaging through my phone today and came across it and remembered I hadn’t yet shared it. I’ve written about the Navy Exchange (NEX) several times in the past, but for those non-military folks, the NEX is a [...]
