“I love these shoes and want a pair in every color. (Sorry Groundies team, I know it would be better to order several pairs in one shipment but I have to spread out my purchases over paychecks). I started wearing minimalist shoes about three years ago. This brand is my favorite of the ones I have, which includes Xero, Softstar, and Vivobarefoot. Xeroes are a close second and good for running but are not beautiful in women's styles. Vivobarefoots just don't work on my feet for some reason. Groundies fit my feet best. If it helps anyone, my feet are low-volume, low arch (working on it) and my toes are long, with the second and third toes longer than the first (mountain shaped feet). The colors and style of the Milano are beautiful. One thing I recommend is to treat the leather with a protective spray before wearing. I wore a blue pair and got spots on them within hours. Made me think of the old song about blue suede shoes. Now I get it. I am a bit hard on my footwear, I don't know how some people manage to keep their shoes pristine. Somebody fill me in. Anyway, will be spraying a product on newer pairs, sorry environment, at least at will mean purchasing fewer over time. Wonderful shoes, want all the styles.”
