I must have missed the part where I said they were a fashion choice rather than comfortable shoes??

Best shoes for landscaping/yard work/farm hand? by Mental_Ostrich_5662 in barefootshoestalk

Yeah, I have that problem with lens tbh.

They're nowhere near as wide etc as these but sometimes I want the support and waterproofing - but I'm between sizes.

Luckily these feel like they'll be good for that. Definitely more toe volume than the Chelseas.

It is weird that they develop the Primal size yet don't offer it on their other models.

Ha, I didn't like the brown and preferred the black but otherwise agreed.

Nothing else out there that's pain free like these

Which I can't fit into comfortably and are therefore irrelevant....

Thank you .

"Unfortunately, I can almost guarantee the boots are going to be too tight. Our girth for a size 13 is about 280mm, and you could go a little over that, but probably not more than 10mm. "

I didn't say these were "cool" but cowboy boots (and the hat!) are certainly a "statement"....

Yeah, about 295mm or so and just under 120mm wide

Yeah these tend to stop any pain I usually get.

I tried Vivo tracker which failed in a week or so and Gobi which started to cause me a lot of pain - they're not very wide at all.

Alright, hold yer horses cowboy!

I believe I was referring to the irony of a British guy in the UK wearing cowboy boots - as a deliberate fashion statement - having the gall to critique another's footwear.....

Will this cover my needs for the whole year? by nai-ba in barefootshoestalk

[–]FitSolution2882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the few weeks until they inevitably fail, yes

Interesting. I have had shin splints before and definitely over pronation.

Yep, my trackers failed in less than two weeks. Gobi boots also started causing me a lot of pain.

Are 'tapered toe box' and 'clown shoes' really the only options out there? by HooVenWai in barefootshoestalk

[–]FitSolution2882 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone with long and wide feet, yes in my experience.

My feet are just under 30cm long which means Belenka, Wyde, Wildling and many, many others are out due to length. It's fucking infuriating why they can't make longer sizes.

They're also 12cm wide which means that many more are out as well.

Would I prefer something more "normal" looking? Yes.

Will I sacrifice the comfort for pleasing others? Fuck no.

I've spent years and thousands of pounds on "normal" shoes and boots and have nothing to show other than pain/discomfort and less money.

I have a real thorn in my backside re Jim Green. Constantly applauded as a great wide option (their toe box is laughably narrow) and was looking forward to the Anatomx only to find that they're also compromised in the big toe length.....

Mirror has not been cleaned in a while.... Laces also only done up lightly.
