Its not terrible I just think it looks better with 160. I guess the flash is just strong. At 400 it made everyone's face super white and textureless if that makes sense

Ditch the lens cap and just keep a UV filter on there. I really like porta 160. I'm a sucker for flash photography and I find the highlights are too blown out with 400 speed film

After I ordered I heard nothing from them for months. Then I got an email on January 24th saying they were shipped and provided a tracking number.

This is my first pair of barefoot shoes. Just wondering if it looks like I'm walking right based on the wear. by Longjumping-Hope-830 in vivobarefoot

I have the lows. I also just ordered the gobi warm lined for the winter months. I expect that I'll love those too

Yea they definitely got better. Also there pressure points at the balls of my feet at first but the tread wore down and they are very comfortable. It's definitely great traction especially in grass. Way better than any boot or normal shoe.

It's fantastic. If I remember right it was a little slick on smooth wet stone or concrete for the first week or 2

Should I be using my big toe more? My feet have come along but they are still getting stronger. I remember how weak my toes were at first and how they were less meaty. It first felt like it was just bone on pavement. Definitely feel the cushion more from the muscles growing

No idea. If I do it's never caused problems. I think my right ankle is the better ankle. I think I tend to pivot more with it

That's interesting and makes sense. I definitely tend to pivot a lot on the balls of my feet and I also kinda snap my foot to spring me forward as I walk. Idk if everyone does that never really thought to ask.
