From what I heard though, it's a shoe that entails the owner conforming to the shoe, and not the other way around as is the conventional approach. Was that how it felt when you road tested it? For whatever it may be, the prohibitive cost may prevent me from ever finding out. Nonetheless, thanks for the review!
