I'm thinking of trying a pair of their 'classics' to fill in the gap between hiking boots and flip-flops in my rucksac for my next India trip.
Would they be any good for long days on asphalt littered with trash & sacred cow crap?

I live in mine! ( I have very silly tanned feet now!)

For the 1st week they hurt like hell! Once you gey used to the barefoot feeling you find normal shoes feel odd! I've had mine for coming up to 2 years.

I wear mine around town, go runnning or walking in them.....

You will spend all your time explaining them to everyone you meet!

Matthew.

P.s careful with the sizing. Do not buy off your normal shoe size. On the web there is a way to measure your feet that then tells you what size you need.

I have size 12 feet and been told my toes are long....you need to try them.

I got mine from the naked ape in Sheffield by the way.

Long toes = long name?!

Thanks. Have been doing some research and most of what i'm hearings positive.
Anyone else got anything to add or know of any stockists where I can actually try a pair before ordering off the web?

I love the idea of them but fear that my 1/2 UK size difference between feet will prevent a good fit... like climbing stickies.

They reviewed them in the Sunday times last week and a friend of mine has a pair.

He says they are great.
ST said they are great - but not on broken ground or wet grass.
