I’m a finalist in a contest over at Mark’s Daily Apple... the concept was to poke fun at conventional wisdom (for food/fitness/lifestyle) by using a clever post-it note.
Here’s my submission:
I think I had a clever concept and great photo… AND I prefer the real post-it photos to the photoshopped ones (seems they take more preparation and effort, and they look better in my opinion). Anyway, if you agree with me and like mine the best (or if you just love me), Please vote for “NOT Wild-caught” in the poll!!!
I could win some really cool barefoot shoes (vibram fivefingers).
WOO HOO! I really really really want to win!

Whatever you do, make sure you get a pair with the strap. Or they will not stay on your feet as well.
Vibram makes socks specifically for these shoes, which I would encourage you to get if you intend to wear socks with them (which can make your KSO’s warm enough for cooler weather).
Personally, between Sprint or KSO, I don’t think you can go wrong.

DebbieQ,
1. WOO HOO!
2. Sorry ’bout that. Gotta keep those spam bots away.
3. Crazy-awesome “shoes” that simulate barefootedness but protect your foot at the same time (from pointy rocks, thorns, too-hot asphalt, whatever) http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/products/products_Sprint_f.cfm
KatieL,
Hmm… I will have to think about it! I really don’t want my feet to be hot but of course I don’t want sand in my shoes either. I wonder if I could get the best of both worlds by getting the classic or sprint and then also getting a pair of the socks to make it like a KSO if I’m on the beach or something? I don’t know!
You know, I have the KSO’s and what I really like is that your whole foot is protected. The uppers are mesh, so its somewhat breathable, but I did find they got a bit warm on some of our hotter days… Someday I want a pair of Sprint’s, also. But I think the KSO’s are more versatile. (And, say you’re walking through sand or dust, with the KSO’s you won’t get it in your shoes.)
In keeping with the “theme” of the comments
1. You are beating the pants off the competition so far.
2. Making me do math in the morning to comment is iffy at best. I managed NOT to know what 7+9 was.
3. What are Vibram Five Fingers

1. Thank you!
2. I hope I get to try them out… they look/sound awesome. Which ones would you recommend getting? Sprint? KSO?
3. Me too!!!! So far so good… I’m in the lead now but there are several more hours to go.
1. I love the photo!
2. I have Vibram Five Fingers and they are AMAZING. So super sweet. You can walk, run, climb, swim, hike, whatever in them. So good for your feet!
3. I hope you win!
