All I can say is I wish I had ordered shoes for myself sooner! I transitioned my kids to barefoot shoes last year and spent most of last summer barefoot or in minimalist sandals. By the time it started to get cold I didn’t want to spend the money on a warm pair of shoes for myself, so I tried to get by with my doc martins and Nike tennis shoes. I absolutely despised wearing shoes at all because it felt so uncomfortable! Finally bit the bullet and made a purchase from wildling, and I could not be happier with the shoes! So comfortable for any occasion and I’ve gotten tons of compliments on them. I have a wide toe box and find them a little tricky to slip on without loosening all the laces. Once they’re on, they form perfectly to my feet though and I feel so free!
