I wanted to love these.  They're obviously constructed with genuine care for the needs of minimalist runners, and the thoughtfulness is evident in their product...but.<br /><br />1. The toe box is very wide, and I'm not a narrow-footed person.  Running for years in little more than Lunas or Soft Stars or Inov-8 Bares has made my feet pretty wide, but these are wider still.  Even after re-lacing, there's a &#34;tent&#34; effect at the top, right over my metatarsals, if that makes any sense.<br /><br />2. SO HOT.  I put these on and my feet could not breathe.  Stifling.  Immediate sense of gratification when I took them off.
