"I couldn't resist." - Phil Poling, Team Tazer Bigfoot.
Your feet contain 52 bones, 66 joints, 40 muscles, and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons, and ligaments. Feet bear the brunt of all your weight-bearing activities like walking, jogging, etc. We can all agree that proper foot care is very important right? These barefoot sports are the latest rage these. According to the Vibram company's website, moving and running in FiveFingers can make us "healthier, happier, and more connected to our bodies" and wearing them will also make your feet stronger they say.
If we were Vibram, and we're looking to expand our customer reach, what better person to reach out to than foot expert Dr. Jeff Meldrum? If they're not thinking about this already, then they should!
Its funny because that's the print of these shoes Meldrum is holding in the pic. Furthermore, Cliff Barrackman and Meldrum a perpetuating a hoax by promoting these London tracks as the real deal. I've heard from within that these are not legit prints and they know it but so much work and excitement was creating in their regards that there's no turning back. Basically its milk these tracks for all their worth. Its a shame because I thought for sure that these would be identified as misidentifications to the public when it was know BUT that's not what happened. Its extremely disappointing to see what's happening with these tracks.
ReplyDeleteHoly Shit anon 1:56 heard from within that the tracks are fake. That's it I knew it all I needed to prove it was some anon on the internet claiming he is in contact with someone close enough to Dr.Meldrum or Cliff B. For them to confide in him that this whole thing is fake... Hooray I can stop believing in Bigfoot cause some anon said it's fake...
DeleteRead the post before you make a public retard out of yourself. Anon 1:56 didn't say that you should stop believing in Bigfoot, he said that the “London tracks” are fake.
DeleteCliff wrote that Meldrum was initially skeptical and changed his mind. Maybe he was right the first time, but they are not hiding anything.
Deletethese "London tracks" seem too good to be true.
DeleteAnon 5:20 it was an exaggeration youknow like blowing things out of proportion like so many people do on this site so before we start name name calling so go ahead and believe that some anon has contact with some associate of Jeff Meldrum and I'll keep saying it's bs...
DeleteScuttlebutt is that the people who made these are about to come forward. It should be fun hearing the backpedaling from those involved with the authentication.
ReplyDeleteWho the hell says scuttlebutt?
ReplyDeleteProbably whoever says caddywhompus.
DeleteI say caddywhompus! But never say scuttlebutt! I once said wallydoo but that was a mistake I was trying to say wallyduh.
Deletelol you guys crack me up
DeleteYou could look it up. Dictionaries are your friend.
ReplyDeleteI know what it means but who actually uses it?
DeletePhil Poling likes putting words in other peoples mouths.
ReplyDeleteThat's not the only thing he likes putting in other peoples mouths.
DeleteIsn't scuttlebutt that cryptid that live in the colorado rockies weaving baskets?
ReplyDeleteThey are not made right, there is no mid-tarsal break!
ReplyDelete"because your feet deserve better"
ReplyDeleteAnd so does your grammar.
Got cha

ReplyDeleteAnd so does your grammar.
Got cha again.
DeleteThe only thing worse than a grammar Nazi is a grammar Nazi repeating themselves repeating themselves.
I tried some pairs on in an outlet store once. They were very comfortable but did not seem very durable. Also, my toes are apparently abnormally long...
ReplyDeleteAnd the award for the most Bigfoot related comment of the day goes to...
DeleteSo your the bigfoot? @ michaela
DeleteAll those Vibram products have tread moulded into the soles so under good conditions they would be spotted a mile off but wet soggy ground that is another matter.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've thought of that too but the thing is the ground "was extremely soggy". That's why we don't see the tread.
DeleteFurthermore, these shoes are a perfect match for the prints. Everything from the shape to the toe spacing to each individual to length. Everything matches too perfectly. Furthermore, I'm not saying this happened but who's to say if there were indeed some of the tread visible prior to casting, that someone didn't remove the treading indentions by pressing them down lightly.?
DeleteI'm sorry but these tracks are obviously misidentifications which are in reality these Vibram shoes. The fact the Meldrum and Barrackman have been fooled (or even worse know they're not legit) is laughable.
Having never had a look at these London tracks I thought I had better check them out, the casts that were on display with rulers next to them for reference seem to indicate 6in at the widest point.
ReplyDeleteI then found a shoe size/width conversion chart which goes up to size 15 which converts to 5in, now I could not find any listings for Vibram products above size 13 which incidently equates to 4.6in in extra wide so it appears to me that you would have to look elsewhere for a candidate that created these particular tracks.
