Got the above photos of Anna, who managed to wrangle her new pair of grey/pink Vibram FiveFinger KSOs away from a certain pink teddy bear. Here’s what her boyfriend Alex had to say about what went down:
I have been hooked on my vff sprints for about 3 weeks. For nearly every day of those three weeks, Anna has been talking about how much she wanted a pair for her own. Today she got a pair of VFF KSOs! She had to wrestle them away from the bear, but she likes them so much they may never leave her feet. Good bye high heels.
I don’t think the teddy bear stood a chance, personally. I mean, VFFs on bear paws? That’s just ridiculous!
Glad you’re enjoying your new set of feet, Anna! Goodbye high heels and hello better posture!
Site administration note from Justin: Apologies to all who have submitted stories and photos or otherwise emailed me this week. I just had my first kid on Monday! It’s going to take me a few days to get caught back up so please “bear” with me!

Congrats on the new arrival Justin!!
Congratulations! Too bad they don’t make VFF’s in kids’ sizes!
Ha, well when I was a kid, I just went barefoot as much as possible … I think kids enter the world predisposed to be fully barefoot with a strong anti-footwear bias. Probably good to encourage that for as long as possible even though they will inevitably get sucked into the modern world of footwear!
You should see her toes spread … amazing.
Congratulations on the new family member, Justin! Good thing you wear VFFs because those brand new humans can really keep you on your toes. (sorry. I couldn’t resist.)
(By the way, I’m new here; planning to buy a pair of KSOs next week! I healed excruciating plantar fasciitis and achilles tendonitis through many months of doing Leslie Sansone’s “indoor walking” exercise videos barefoot so I’m really excited about getting to extend all that great barefoot therapy by wearing VFFs to school, grocery, hiking, etc.)
Congratulations Justin to you and your wife! Hope all is well and we look forward to hearing about the lessons the new arrival teaches you about being barefoot.
