The shoes are easily wide enough for my wide feet but, as I mentioned above, not wide enough to accomodate "correct toes" toe spacers. For this you either have to buy unconventional looking shoes or get a "trick" pair which disguises the excess width by making them longer (in my case my feet are already long enough without making them look any more "clown like").<br /><br />So, in summary, I would definitely buy these again if the price was around the same level I paid for these. I hope they manage to get the company up and running.Rob Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12474719507117105890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858289883948873083.post-91770000349716624642013-08-25T18:13:33.011-07:002013-08-25T18:13:33.011-07:00I just ran across your blog and was wondering how ...I just ran across your blog and was wondering how you're fairing with the Altum's after a few months. I am really interested in getting a pair once they are available to the general public. I unfortunately didn't find out about them until after the Kickstarter.<br /><br />Solarpunk Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06689634878050484474noreply@blogger.com
