Vibram’s new ad campaign “What’s Your Story?” is, simply put, awesome.  The production is really slick and they are finding some really interesting stories to feature. A few weeks ago we posted the Vibram Tattoo video which sparked a great conversation on the Facebook page and Twitter. This week Vibram is back at it again […]

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?

Sh*t Barefoot Runners Say

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”. We like this video because it pokes fun at us all, and we could all use that from time to […]

Video of the Week: Vibram Tattoo

by Brian Patterson on Jan 27, 2012 4

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.

The Navy Exchange is ‘All-In’ on Minimalist Footwear

by Brian Patterson on Jan 25, 2012 1

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 […]

You may have seen the photos we posted a few days ago of MyFiveFingers.com reader Maricel Ivy Pono-Woods wearing FiveFingers while riding an elephant (here and here).  Pretty cool pics.  In my emails back-and-forth with Maricel I learned that she lived in the Philippines, which I thought was cool because I’m half-filipino myself. I began asking […]
