This was my first pair of barefoot shoes so maybe I’m missing something, but based on what I’ve read, I have wide, medium volume, plateau shaped feet - which the description says this should work for. I even went to the biggest size based on my measurements and these are so tight, so narrow, and so stiff. The buckle pushes on the tops of my feet through the shoes, even if i take out the insole, and then I step out of them at the heel. I’m sure some of the stiffness would break in but I can’t imagine it would break in enough to fit. I’m very sad because they’re beautiful and I wanted them to fit so badly, but I will have to return them. My recommendation is that these would work for narrow or regular feet, but not wide.
