Kids love it

My 5 year old only likes to wear barefoot-style shoes and there aren't a lot of options for barefoot sandals for young children. This worked out great for us because we could make the right sizes for both my kids (ages 4 and 5). They both find them very comfortable and it's easy for them to get the sandals on and off by themselves. The price is great, the quality is great, and it was really easy to do. I had a bit of trouble cutting into the material at first (you can really only do it with a good, sharp pair of scissors), but otherwise I didn't have any issues. I'll certainly be doing this again next summer and probably for my own next pair of sandals as well!

Not as expected

Product is good, but received 4mm thick not the 6mm as stated in description.

nope, just nope save your money

So I’ve bought their diy sandals, twice. Both times struggled sooooo much to figure out the right knots and loops to have a sandal capable for running +3mi. Every-time i thought “i had it” i would get 1-3 uses before the dyi straps tear off always mid-run. As an idea am sure someone thought this would be a nice money grab, but in reality their DYI sandals are useless trash, unless you lay in the couch all day then sandals are perfect 👌�

I love my DIYs

I received a Classic DIY Kit with Vibram Cherry soles for my birthday in late September. I did a tie inspired by ANDE’S BLINGED OUT TYING #1 & the other version….. I would rather be barefoot and do everything I can barefoot only wearing shoes to protect my feet when I’m doing something that requires it or of course going in stores, restaurants, & the club to dance. I first wore them to the grocery store and through the day. It was wonderful to have my feet feel so close to barefoot. I didn’t even take them off to drive or when I was riding as a passenger which is kinda amazing. From the time I can remember I had to put shoes on to get out of the car and go in somewhere. My mom would tell me when we were getting into a town we were traveling to so I could get my shoes on, partners do that now, 🙂 I’ve worn them dancing probably four times and put quite a few miles walking on them in the little over a month that I’ve been using them. I’ve tried two retyings and each has been just a little prettier or better function. They have been just getting better. 🙂 I do caution to give yourself ample room on the sides when cutting and to punch sufficiently in from the sides when you do. If I had done either of them I wouldn’t have torn out the hole in the sole for the ankle tie. It was my miscalculation. I’m about to punch a little further in next to where I did the one that tore out. I hadn’t used shoe goo because I wasn’t committed to the tie. I’m going to do that also. I definitely would buy these again, and I want to see if the newer DIY Kit made with our exclusive FeelTrue® rubber soles next so I can compare. If they are as good as these I’ll have two go to sandals that is as close to barefoot as I’ve felt in any sandal.

I love them!

I'm not usually a fan of barefoot movement, but I love these, especially for casual everyday wear. The only issue I ran into was my first time going long distance I got a giant blister about an inch below my middle toe, I hadn't tightened them correctly. So make sure you adjust them properly and break them in full on short runs before you take them for a long run.
