I've had the same experience. They run way too narrow. I don't even have a traditionally wide foot, ' although I'm more comfortable in a wider shoe most times. But when I went to order a wide size they were all sold out! Additionally I called BS on their being sustainable brand. 6 little water bottles don't add up to an entire shoe. Plus there's rubber in the sole and the cushioned insole. It's just a marking ploy. They are vegan and that's a plus for people looking for vegan shoes but these are not comfortable shoes and they run way too narrow for the average foot.

Hello Eva, I hope you are keeping well. Burgundy is a beautiful colour on you. As a highly sensitive person, these tips are key to navigating social situations. Talking about the setting is a brilliant tip to keep the conversations flowing and engaging. You might learn a thing or two about history or even the people of the place. My tip is to always bring a friend to social situations. I enjoy this content, so please keep it coming.

I bought them lately and they really look good. Unfortunately I’m suffering some edema on my right leg and foot. So it’s a bit tight on that foot but that’s not the company’s fault. If it wasn’t for the swelling I know they’d be very comfortable as my left foot is very comfortable and they are sized properly. They are very good quality.

I have the Feelgrounds Chelsea, imo the quality is subpar, the top is not stiched to the sole but just glued and the glue does not hold up. I complainded to them about this, they sent me a new pair which I appreciated but had the exact same issue… not reordering from this brand
@BridgeOfLifeStudio9 күн бұрын
True, while their models with the original sole are stitched, the boot styles are not. Sad to hear they are not holding up for you. I can't say I have had the same problem, I really love those boots. Though I do agree that it would be nice if they would also stitch the sole through.

Hello Eva, your passion for these shoes translated well through the screen. I enjoy walking and shoes are incredibly important to me. My current favourites are from Ecco. I understand we have different values when it comes to selecting shoewear, however, they work well for me and my current lifestyle. For a formal occasion, I opt for buckled monk straps from a local brand. Would you be thinking of promoting products to maintain 'feet hygiene' or keeping them clean and fresh? Barefoot shoes can be tricky with people with flat feet. Please keep these rambly videos coming, the duration is perfect.
@BridgeOfLifeStudio13 күн бұрын
Thank you for sharing 😊 As for barefoot shoes being tricky with flat feet, I know people with flat feet that love wearing them. They just use an insole with them. It still gives the movement and toespace and you get the support from the insole. I also heard that is can actually help with flat feet because you are basically training your feet when wearing barefoot shoes, helping you to stabilise your foot and build an arch, but I don't have personal experience with it and am defenitely not a podiatrist. What exactly do you mean with "feet hygiene" products? Foot care like soaps, creams and tools? Or things like foot exercises to keep them healthy? Or more along the lines of socks or shoe care? So many options there 😅

1:15 an unusual guest (grinning kettle) occupies a quarter of the screen. The tending of herbs and tinkling in the glass make a delightful sound. It does feel like summer now, with the dry heat. I also marvel at the colours of summer, especially the plants that ripen in vibrant colours. Is it a family, of Zucchini? Salt, sugar, rice vinegar and sesame oil are my favourite ways to dress these vegetables as a light appetiser. I slice the zucchini into thin strips with a peeler.

I get the same excitement as you. I feel bliss when small things improve my quality of life. Your justification is reasonable. If you feel that gravitational pull, or what I call 'love at first sight,' it belongs to the home. I recently treated myself to a perfume, which has been in my memory. The wait is worthwhile; and yes, gift cards are the motivation to 'spend more'.

First, I want to say upfront that Vivaia has the best customer service I ever encountered. When I put a negative review on the website, they reached out to me and refunded a percentage of the purchase price. I did not find the shoes to be comfortable. I bought navy and white wedge sandals and they pinched my toes enough to inspire me to make a review. I’ll try them out again next summer because I love them.

It’s now a wildly popular international e-commerce brand headquartered in China, with 10 retail stores (none yet in the US but the company has done pop-up shops).”

I love mine. The first pair I got were the Margot 2.0. First time wearing for my daughter's wedding. She was getting married outdoors so I didnt want heels to get stuck in the lawn. I wore them for the first time that day. I wore them for over 12 hours without breaking them in. I had no problems, no blisters, no pain. I was able to wear my little no show stockings/socks. I do have a wide foot with bunions , which is why i picked this model. Ive since bought the Bibi, the Melia, and the sandals Maisa. The only ones that have given me issues are the Melia. If I'm at all retaining ware, I cant wear them;they actually made my foot bleed at the top near my bunion. It was the second time i wore them, the first time they were fine. I will tell you they do stretch, the more you wear them. I have returned a pair. It was the sandals. I decided to keep the smaller size. Customer service was freat. I did choose to return for store credit since they give you a credit for 110% of the original cost. They may not have refunded the difference since the Margots don't qualify for free shipping. The cost of the two may have evened out.
