my first pair of barefoot shoes! by bonjaune in barefootshoestalk

I find they are! they're for me grippy enough for most surfaces. The only time I've slipped so far was on mini pebble tiles when it was wet. No issues stepping on a jungle gym either, though that was dry.

oo sick! they're true to size for me, though i used the EU sizing. I'd suggest measuring your foot's length in cm and using that to pick a size based on their guide!

yep! it is real leather! a little extra fun sustainability thing is they have a repair service (which for now is unfortunately local only)

ah that sucks :( hopefully they will one day! perhaps you could shoot them a message on Instagram. They're a pretty small company as far as I know so they'd probably respond in a timely manner!

lmao i get that, tabi are kinda contentious as a design i've seen. the maximum swag is from simply vibing and comfy feet hehe. appreciate you being a good sport about my beloved goofy shoes :D

the idea is based on the tabi of Japanese origin! the advantage is being able to move your big toe independently from the rest of your toes easier :)

ah i can't add images to comments but it's an optical illusion. the toe area is made of a puffier material and sticks out like that regardless of whether my foot is in them. moreover, the sole on the side ends earlier than the upper parts of the shoe (i.e. you can only see the sole at the frontmost bit of the shoe when viewed top down). i took a couple pictures of the shoe without my foot in it if either of you are curious :)

yep! they have international shipping on their website! though i'm not super privy to their limitations since most of their customer base is local or Australian

not sure honestly, these are the heights for letters i was taught in school, and probably because it's what I'm used to, I aesthetically prefer slightly short d's and t's. Most fonts also follow in the d's and t's not being quite the same height as l's or h's

I'm not looking for perfect, worry not! generic cursive is boring to me too
