Vibram Five Fingers KSO Photos (and comments) from reader Chris

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:

Hey cool! a whole site dedicated to my favorite footwear!

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:

The tactics I used to convince my wife were

-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:
