Pros & Cons
Pros
New design is even more minimalistic and stylish. Shoes are super lightweight, and breathable. Great for barefoot running or walking barefoot.
The left one is smooth and flat in that same area. The toe box is a bit wider, which i like.
Light weight and allow your foot the ability to flex and move more naturally! These shoes are amazing! Already thinking about buying different colours or just a second pair as a backup. Just bought 2 pairs of these shoes.
The vapor glove is like going barefoot with the security of a rubber sole. Wearing the shoe feels like getting a foot massage. They don't require special socks, they hug my feet without being restricting, and they last for a long time.
Cons
These are not stretchy like a sock so i am clueless as to why this particular style would run so freakishly small. Before wearing outside, debated on returning them or exchanging the 8.

In my search for a replacement amazon gets kudos for taking back three different brands that just didn't do the trick.

I don't know what i was hoping for in all those other brands.
