Reader Chris sent in photos snapped from the Outer Banks of North Carolina. In them, Chris is sporting grey/green VFF KSOs.
In his email, Chris noted:
Here are some pics of me in the Outer Banks of NC shortly after getting my KSO’s.
I love them! Tactile sensations and awareness are great, foot and ankle’s are much strengthened. I had them recommended to me by a posture correction specialist. Also you leave really cool footprints.
After much resistance my wife now has a pair of sprints and she loves them. I have a pair of Sprints as well, mostly to wear around the house. I will get some of the Flows this fall.
Every time I wear them out I get lots of questions … sometimes I feel like a spokesman for VFF.
I’m starting to feel like a Vibram spokesman, too!
I was curious as to how Chris persuaded his wife to pick up a pair, and here is what he said:
-it’s like being bare foot without dirty feet
-it will help with your ankle pain from heels
-just get some to wear around the yard, I think this was the best one
I might have to try these strategies out on my wife — though I’m sure if she finally does acquiesce it will be because I buy her a pair!
Here’s one more shot of Chris:
If you have photos of you in your birthday shoes, please send them in!

Hi there,
I am Chris’s wife. As he said it took me a while to convert to these shoes, but now I’m hooked. Just like most women I love cute shoes, even if they are not comfy. I walk atleast a mile a day in 3 inch heels, however when I get home the first thing I do is take off my shoes. I love to be barefoot and as a child spent most of the summer without shoes on.
I first agreed to just wear them around the yard, but became so enamored with them that I started wearing them in public. (With matching clothes of course:) People notice and comment on them. Most everyone thinks they are awesome!
Stephani,
That is great! So glad you’re enjoying them (And finding a way to make them at least somewhat stylish).
When I wear mine in public places I get tons of positive feedback from all different types of people (this is particularly exemplified when I wear them to the airpot!).
Thanks for the feedback!
