Welcome to BirthdayShoes!!!

Even if they only last a few months 8.99 is a do able price for me. Generally my limit for $ on shoes for my kids is $25 a pair. I don't have the sort of budget to spend more than that when we need shoes multiple times a year. That being said my kids have never worn out a pair of shoes. We have broke many pairs of cheap Walmart shoes but their feet are wide so we cannot use those anymore I will not force them to wear something that doesn't fit. So if these are wide and cool I'm all for it. If they can last 3months 8.99 is worth it for me.

I do not see any links to buy these on their website.  I also do not even see a where to buy store locator link.  I found them locally for $8.99 a pair, which is pretty reasonable in my book.  I will try to take a few pictures tonight.

I'm curious what they are like for wide feet. We like crocs for how wide they are and how they just let feet be. But they are thick on the bottom. If these can be wide and thinner more climbing friendly and look like my shoes they may be more inclined to think vff's are cool when I can get them a pair. Though I'm almost more inclined for a pair of camel toe shoes, huraches or filas than vff's at least initially. If not we may just continue with the crocs I already have four pairs of them floating around for my boys but they like my toe shoes. And right now they are young enough that I'm still cool. I want to hold onto that as long as I can. I hope they never feel their deadbeat father is cool. Ugh. Sry. Unloaded.

Just received a notice that they got my foot tracing..but they'll be shipping the sandals sometime in the next 2 weeks.

Trust me.  I am a M40 to M42, depending on the style and my foot measures 10.25.  I can wear W42 in Jaya.  I do not think you will be able to make these work for you.

And according to her: "I just measured my foot to the best of my ability and it is closest to 10 1/4 inches. I wear a size European 40 in all of my vibrams. -

New Vibram Five Fingers! Komodosort, bikila, kso..

" I think it would be good. If not, then maybe I give it to someone or sell it?
I don't want to go back to the expensive local shop (which i cannot afford) to just try more wffs and not buy any it would feel weird for the 3rd time doing this. (and buying from the US)

but here: http://birthdayshoes.com/forum/fivefingers-sizing-and-fit-discussion/fit-of-bikilas-vs-ksos/msg24054/#msg24054
it looks like the m40 kso is about the same in length as the w40 bikilas. If it would be too short really, will it break in with use? or with that heating/pulling mod?

Go barefoot

I contacted the manufacturer and they are being less than helpful.  After I schooled them regarding what drop actually was, they claimed they do not have that information.  I am at work now, so have to rely on e-mail.  I will call them on my drive home if they do not provide me with some usable information before then.
