I was ecstatic when my kit arrived on Thursday. I spent Friday night putting it together and it went really well. It took me a day to dial in the fit, but in the meantime I've become a pro with the 'slip on' tying method.
Here's an observation I happened upon while fitting the shoes. I have long toes and I found the string between my big toe and second toe was crossing my second toe and creating a good deal of chafing when walking. The trick ended up being to loosen the string significantly across the top of my foot (the string that leads from the knot underneath the forefoot to the outside of the foot) and when I brought the string around from the other side to start the tying I tried to set up the front 'between the toes' string so that it is as straight as possible, not angled too much to the right and not too much to the left. Getting that string straight really seems to be the key, for me at least. Now that they're dialed in, I think I'm ready for a run!
Invisible shoes are an excellent project. I had so much fun putting them together, I can't wait to get another pair. The materials and customer service are absolutely top notch. Steven, you rock! I'm looking forward to turning more people onto these huaraches!
