:lol: I think if I do it I'm going all out with a bright color. I can't see them going over well at school but at home and around town this summer they would be fun. They really are comfortable huh? I'm using them as an excuse for a trip to Northhampton MA where there's a store that carries them. I want to try them on rather than order. There's also an awesome yarn store up that way. Once school is out I'm going!

The only thing I can say is, if you have a longer 2nd toe than big toe, they won't work for you. Oh, and the sprints can sometimes kinda pull your pinky toe to the side, so some people find them uncomfortable. Be very very sure you measure to get the right size.

I like Avia brand and have found them very comfortable when you are on your feet all day and walking hard floors.

When at home, I prefer my Earth Shoes leather sandals when I'm not barefoot...which is most of the time. I've had these for years and wear them with everything! They clean up nice and just won't wear out.

I should try Earth Shoes too. Are they like the ones from decades ago that I remember?
Nope, my second toe is shorter than my big toe. I think it would be a good idea to go to the store to try them. The REI store in W Hartford carries them. Maybe if Free and I ever get together at the Whole Foods out there I can stop in. :cool:

Hen, they seemed to have more padding than the older style, starting out, but they soon compress and mold to your foot. I've had mine so many years now that the padding is all gone.

Best pair of shoes since my old high-top McGregors I had in high school..... :p

Please don't respond to spammers, just report them, as Henrietta did. I've deleted all of posts that were in response.

Oh, no, it's just impulse, it just makes our jobs a bit more difficult when we're cleaning up after those messy spammers ;)
