Just put them on. Different from shoes, but comfortable for the toes. Plan to wear them every day throughout the summer. no socks The next best thing is to go barefoot. without the hassles associated with the dangers of walking barefoot. To update. In a week my feet will look forward to wearing these amazing shoes. All the pain in the legs from the contact of the toes with each other disappeared! As always, I'm used to the daily pain. Now that my feet have experienced this freedom, I will never go back to these other shoes. I ordered a black pair to wear to black tie events. I look forward to comments that will bring up more memorable guys. LOL update. I can't just put them on like normal shoes. The technique I developed is as follows. shoes on the floor. Point your big toe in that direction and "creep" your foot into the boot, squirming vigorously. I still love these shoes. I didn't expect such interest from people who saw them. If you're the shy type, you might go for black instead of cartoon colors. LAUGH OUT LOUD
