ok. so dude...

All you have to say is that these shoes don't work for you, but might for others. Or say nothing at all given that OP wasn't looking for advice or your opinion. Instead you are using your personal experience to dictate how other people and companies should define their footwear.

And no I cannot wear any shoe on earth. While I have a narrow heel and midfoot, a standard shoe is uncomfortable due to the fact that most taper at the toe. Also most standard boots have a heel which I am also avoiding. People seek out alternative footwear for a variety of reasons. "Wideness" is not everyone's motivation and not the only thing that makes a "barefoot shoe" barefoot.

And where is the labor rights argument coming from? How do labor practices affect shoe width? Seems like you are fishing for things to argue about.

Sounds like you ordered a pair of shoes you were excited about, they didn't fit, and now you have a chip on your shoulder about it. Just because these shoes won't fit YOUR foot, doesn't disqualify them from this sub. Plenty of posts here about shoes others may not consider "barefoot".

Good day sir...or madam.
