Rob - or anyone who has a pair of the skwamas.
How much do they stretch? I took the advice of going down 1/2 a size (to 6.5) but just in case, i ordered a 7 as well. Wow, they are both very tight out of the box, especially around the heel. I have the widest feet on the planet, a bit like dinner plates. The article said Rob went from a shoe size of 8 to 6 in these. Is this really correct? I am street size 7 and it took me a quite some force to even get my feet into the 6.5. Going from an 8 into a 6 just seems ridiculous and masochistic. Unless the sizing isn't consistent which is possible I guess.
Anyway, if they are going to give a bit when breaking them in and become soft, will keep the smaller ones. Out of the box they seem a lot stiffer than I was expecting, they seem like wooden clogs compared to my 5.10 teams
.
Defo appear to be what I was looking for though. Pretty similar to the solutions but hopefully softer and more comfortable once broken in. My solutions never really got more comfortable.
