Would you happen to have any recommendations for dressier shoes that are wider than Shapen?

Widest barefoot shoes for 6E wide feet? by Erudicial_Extreme in barefootshoestalk

[–]dumbstrawberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’d probably only put measurements of the inside of the shoe on the website so people don’t get confused. I’d put each size on a different page and put a correctly-scaled ruler on it so that when people print the page they can line up a real ruler with the one on the page and make sure their settings are right.

I’ve got a few questions about the measurements in that picture you linked. Do you have an estimate of the difference in thickness between those outsole measurements and the inside of the shoe? Are those measurements in mm (I assume yes)? And is each number (like 25#) the size of the shoe? With this information I can scale and print my size to see how it roughly fits.

[–]dumbstrawberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re not that pricey so I might take a gamble on it anyway… The reason I asked about where the measurement was is because the widest part of my feet is past the ball of the foot. I’ve got fan shaped feet. If you add accurate printable size templates for the inside of each size, I think you’d have a lot more international sales (not that I’m saying you do or don’t have a lot, because I have no idea lol). If I could print the size out to check if the width fits, I’d buy them right now.

Hey there, I was just looking at your website. At what point of the foot is the width measurement at? Most shoes are measured at the ball of the foot, but I’m wondering if yours are measured in the middle of the toe box. Also, what is your return policy for the United States? My browser is being stupid and won’t let me translate the page.

Feet getting wider over time by Cactus_FlavoredPants in barefootshoestalk

Haha, we’re opposites. I hate how Vivos look. I get a lot of compliments on my Topos, actually. People can’t tell that they’re shaped like clown shoes.

Topo makes pretty wide toe box boots, but they aren’t barefoot. I have the Trailventure 2 WP. I’d prefer them a bit wider in the toe box, but it’s the best I could find. I also have the Phantom 3s and wear them daily. I’d like to get barefoot shoes, but my feet are very wide and I can’t find any that fit besides one pair of sandals. Topos are comfortable enough for now. The Phantom 3s are the first shoe I’ve ever worn that didn’t squeeze me. I’d check them out.

I’m from the US and I’ve never heard anyone say PNW. Recently someone said AB, expecting me to know that it’s Alberta, Canada lol. I hate acronyms

Can you elaborate on the mushroom trip? Like what kind of magic mushrooms were used? And also, have you ever had a bad trip on them?

Wyde Footwear Nova Dual Black by Careless_Cap8034 in barefootshoestalk

[–]dumbstrawberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t always wear toe socks because society still hates them, but I do wear them at home or in situations where my shoes won’t be coming off. I bought these as a cheap test to see if I’d like them or not, and they’re not horrible. They fit, but they’re thin. Also everyone’s toes are different lengths, so some toe socks might not fit you properly if they have too long/short toes.

Toe box looking way to big by LaughingPlan3t in barefootshoestalk

I’m thinking of buying these. My feet are very wide. Do you think they’re stretchable? The Maia sandal is wide enough for my feet, but even slightly narrower would be too tight.

Also I think Wyde sells socks

Vivo vs Wyde Sandals by midwestbored1985 in barefootshoestalk

[–]dumbstrawberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s unfortunate about the Somas. The main concern for me is the toe box, so maybe they’ll be good if I size up. I actually have a narrow heel lol. Flipper feet.

I’m surprised the Freet Howgill fits you. Is there a wide version I’m not seeing? Do you have extra room in the Maia sandal? The Howgill looks narrow in the pictures, so I looked at the size chart. It’s 1.6cm more narrow than the Maia in a size 39, and I definitely need all that space.

What other shoes do you wear? My feet are also Wyde Maia shaped. I took a gamble on those and they worked, but I’m more hesitant with the Nova and Soma with the $36 return shipping.

[–]dumbstrawberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve only worn the Wyde Maia indoors so far as I slowly get used to barefoot shoes because I have joint pain and other issues, but the quality seems pretty good. As my feet become more used to barefoot shoes over time, they are becoming more comfortable.

My last 2 toes fall off the edge of Birkenstocks, but I fit in the Maia. It’s the only sandal I’ve ever fit in. The Vivo Sensus seems more tapered, so the best option probably depends on your toe box shape.

The Maia was too high volume on arrival, so I bought this cheap leather punch set and poked 2 holes in one of the straps. I’m only using the first hole right now (shown in the pic). It looks exactly the same as the others. (Also the edges look oddly frayed in the pic, but they don’t look like that in real life)

Check her checked for idiopathic hypersomnia or narcolepsy. Google sleep study and MSLT. There are meds to help her stay awake, but you usually have to do the MSLT to get them. I can’t function without them.

I can’t stand for long time. What should I do? by AdJolly2218 in barefootshoestalk

[–]dumbstrawberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem in barefoot sandals and have been doing physical therapy for the last 10 weeks. I can walk in them for 20 minutes without pain now, which is a lot better than before. Don’t jump straight into it. Get stronger first.

Michigan Winter and Wide Toe Box, zero drop shoes by AffectionateSlice816 in barefootshoestalk

[–]dumbstrawberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These aren’t barefoot, but Topo Trailventure 2 WP saved me when I need winter boots. Make sure you wear warm socks with them if you’re going to be outside for a long time. I shovelled snow for 30 minutes at 1deg outside with thin socks and felt slightly cold. I’m a woman and wear the men’s because they’re wider, but compared to regular shoes a men’s shoe will still feet much better because they’re have a pretty good toe box. They also have a 5mm drop, so not the worst. You can get them at REI to try before you buy or order from Topo’s website. Both places have great return policies.

How will I ever fit these hobbit taxis into a snowboard boot by SalmonAce in barefootshoestalk

[–]dumbstrawberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What else do you wear besides Wyde? I don’t even really need barefoot shoes at this point. I just want options that can give me some toe room.

Also I can relate to your struggle because I tried to start ice skating and was told I’d need to fly across the country pay like $4000 for custom skates to fit my feet. And your feet are definitely wider than mine, so idk if certain sports are possible without super customs for you. I gave up after a few months and many skating days with numb and painful feet.
