Don't be discouraged if you smell of glue when you unpack. The smell goes away after a few days. The toe caps are strong enough to protect those little piggies and the adjustable Velcro heel strap ensures a snug fit, so don't get bogged down by shoe size. Don't be afraid to wear them barefoot unless you're afraid someone might think you're bohemian. In fact, they're particularly handy for bridging streams or washing cars, as they dry well when worn on warm days.
