This is a dream come true for me. I've been waiting for years to walk around in minimalistic sandals, which are not widely available in my country, and last week I finally got them. I haven't walked much yet (winter is here) but it's really nice. The front end and the way it sits on me kinda pushes my foot forward without holding it, leaving the toes fairly open to meet obstacles in the way, but maybe that can be solved with proper tightening . Check out the next-gen improvements, this is just a great update: one-handed tightening element! I hate that you need both hands to put on and take off the sandals (so that there are no outsoles in the house, this is always done on the doorstep). I feel like I'm wearing something all the time.
