Yes the non leather ones do whiff a little after hard use but they can be washed.Its normal to struggle with the toe holes at first but you soon get used to it.I have just returned from a two day backpacking trip wearing them. 14 miles yesterday with no problems at all.

I still haven't got mine yet

Logged on tonight and they look to be out of stock, they were showing plenty when I ordered though

They'll be worth the wait.

I like mine, had problems with my little toe which was objecting to being on it's own, but it seems to be getting used to it now.

I tried toe socks but they seem to restrict my toes, so I just go barefoot, maybe I'll try them again later.

I was worried about cold feet, but that hasn't happened even when my feet get wet.

I keep wondering how long they'll last as at this time of year they get wet everytime I wear them, maybe the next step in to go Barefoot, or make some Huaraches

I've found lots of stuff on the internet about going Barefoot, but at the momemt I think I'll stick to going Sockless.

If wet feet become a pain, as they tend to do as it gets colder, persevere with the toe socks. They feel restrictive at first but your feet adjust and the ones with wool in them keep your feet warm when wet until the temperatures really start to drop.

iv had mine for about a week and worn nothing else without socks. some of the comfiest shoes ever but i do love my barefootness. one thing i would say is because the leather is fake (im pretty sure with mine) they can get a bit sweaty but take them off for a few mins and problem is solved. tempted tae buy some of the socks but nae sure if they would acually fit in the shoes tis tight enough as it is

 

[big_swede]

Shewie, has your arrived yet?

 

[Shewie]

No mate, but my shipping status has changed to "in progress"

I think they were out of stock for ages

You're going to tell me to cancel my order aren't you?

 

[hiho]

mine got cancelled last week with a definant no more to come...

 

[Shewie]

Oh, just checked mine again and they're only sending part of the order

No five fingels and no Photon lights

I ordered some on 9th sept, they just arrived today. No problems.
Feel good for £20.

 

[Shewie]

Ordered on 22nd of August, finally arrived today

Right foot went on like a slipper, left little toe refuses to separate and go into it's little house. I'm now sat here with 550 cord wrapped between my toes to try and lever them out a bit.

Quality looks pretty good, the fit is great on the right foot, looking forward to testing them properly at some point.

versatile stuff paracord shewie lol regards dave will expect a nice review once you've separated your toes

 

[Shewie]

Left toes are in now

They're not happy but they're in alright

 

[mountainm]

Left toes are in now

They're not happy but they're in alright

Phew! Thank goodness for that - it was touch and go for a while....

 

[Shewie]

Tell me about it

 

[bothyman]

Glad you finally got them, even if it took a while..

I had the same problem with my right foot my little toe felt lonely too.

I put talc on my toes to make it easier to get them in.

It's only because their not used to being on their own..

 

[treadlightly]

Don't worry, your toes will learn to love them

 

[Shewie]

I've had them on since tea time and they feel like slippers now

Even ran up to the petrol station in them to grab a bottle of milk

 

[treadlightly]

You'll also get used to people stealing sly looks at your feet as you pass them.
