My Splay Freestyle started to separate where the canvas meets the sole. I live in the Tropics in Australia, though, where the weather is extremely hot and humid and I think this was a contributing factor. It also rains a bunch so they got wet. In any case, I just glued them back up and they're as good as new.
Definitely weather related. But proving they’re self serviceable is a bit of a plus 👍🏻
Love your guys’ content. I’ve got a pair of Splay Freestyles, but definitely looking forward to the rest of your review lineup-I need a few more pairs of summer kicks.
I had the same exact problem with the slip-ons. Squeezed into them and sent them back the same day. I will reorder them in a larger size. Love my freestyle leather. I definitely recommend them.
I was excited to see they are located in Utah County! Any chance they have a store front to be able to try the shoes on before purchasing? 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Not that we know of, but that would be nice! We've found them all to be true to size
I was wearing my splay freestyles last night. While I don't like the sole for wearing long periods, the width to let hour toes spread is a total win.
I love my Splay Slip-Ons❤! Just bought a few Freestyle 2.0s this week!
Nice! We're liking the 2.0 so far. Definitely different, some videos on them are coming soon!
I was just searching for a barefoot vans alternate yesterday 😂
Welcome to the channel 😂 stay awhile
What's the bet you already knew about this shoe
thanks u dudes, hope u go big. All i need answered is here. always.
Also, i know they ain't barefoot, but i'd be curious as to ur opinions on birkenstocks ? I feel the zero drop is not what matters the most for some people, and no anchoring neither. As for me, i don't want to wear ONLY birkenstock because i need my foot to "work" and therefore i want to use at least 50% of the time a foot with no anchor support, to develop muscle. but from time to time, slip on a birk isn't an issue, as zerodrop isn't what i'm the most concerned with.
Wouldn't wanna wear only Birk though, but as an alternative in some situation i find them nice (also for the aesthetics)
Take care u guys
@@AnotherproblemOn I mean I've never tried them, but those toe boxes look pretty nice, that's a big deal for a lot of people. Probably a great way to start transitioning to more minimalist shoes!
I love the Splay Freestyle which are very adjustable because of the laces. I do not like slip ons in general due to the lack of adjustability. It may be because the middle of my foot is narrow.
I would love to see a comparison between Origo and Splay.
Me too@@mamabear9389
Thanks for the reviews on these! I was going to go with another pair of lems boulder boots which got discontiued and tsla(Merrill clones) for summer. But ill give these a shot instead. Its a bummer that they dont have half sizes hopefully it wont be an issue.
Hasn’t been for me. Im a true 10.5 and the 11s are great
I really appreciate these reviews guys. I don't been looking for something exactly like these but I have a very high arch (I recall you guys mentioned too much volume as a complaint about the jim green's and they fit me perfectly, I even went half a size up from what I previously wore lol) so I'm interested to see how the volume issue with these plays out as they get more broken in. Though maybe the velcro option is better in that case because they're adjustable.
I think the velcro are the most comfortable, Chris really likes the lace ups. They all have pretty low volume, but, we've found they all break in well!
@@sonsofsever awesome, thank you!
4:05 While I appreciate any video that gives measurements to be able to use to compare.. You have to realize you are measuring the rubber outsole going around the outside of the shoe. That the interior space doesnt always count that area, and the Splay clearly has more going around the outside of the foot.
I think measuring the outside is the closest we can get to the measure of the inside without either A) cutting open the shoe or B) relying on the company to supply the measurements. Another way you can go is measuring the insole. Maybe I’ll start doing that. I can tell you that the splay and BeLenka insoles are SIGNIFICANTLY wider than the insoles for Lems, Feelgrounds, Vivobarefoot, and Xero 🤷🏻♂️ so ultimately the fact that they’re the widest still stands. But I totally understand your concern with that
Try the vans in wide!
They're only wide from the ball of the foot and proceed to taper in the toe box area.
They still have zero inventory. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. It’s been months
You must have missed it man! I've been waiting for the black and gum slip ons since last fall, they restocked sometime in the winter and that's when we got them, but they're definitely depleted now. Do you get their emails?
@@sonsofsever I only get emails about sales. But like… the sales are just for the 2 remaining sizes that nobody orders. It’s a slap in the face lmao
Dress shoes please 🙏🏻 got a wedding in April lmfao
Haha sorry man! It's in the works but they haven't been a huge priority for us historically so we're a little low on traction in that area. Go check out the Lems 9to5, I think it's one of the best looking minimalist dress shoes out there. I wear it to work with my uniform all the time. Another option is the leather Splay Freestyle, a little less money but not as nice looking in my opinion. You can shine the 9to5 and make it look real nice!
I have the slip ons and they're by far the worst barefoot shoe I've ever had lol, the explores are great- **once you break them in**. I do wear my shoes with no socks, and if i wear socks they are even more tight and still uncomfortable. I have purchased 4 pairs of Splays and one pair did after one use (walking to a restaurant from a hotel) the bottoms completely fell off. Guess it wasn't glued right? But their customer service was amazing and sending a replacement pair. So they're customer service is a 10/10. I'm a huge fan of Feelgrounds and have bought 8 pairs and they've been great!
I have gone hiking and long distance walking with the Explorers and they are a good barefoot shoe for the price, they just need time to break in.
I was honestly pretty worried when we first got the Slip Ons, but they did break in well for me to where I have no issues with them, I will be wearing them all summer long! Glad Splay took care of you when you had a problem.
@@sonsofsever I'm gonna try and give them a wash and see if that softens the canvas material
Are these actually slip on? As in can you get them on without touching them with your hands? Do they have a stiffener in the heel so they won’t fold as I slip them on? I look for slip on shoes that I can get on without grabbing them in any way. That’s what I consider a slip on. I have been on a search for zero drop slip on shoes like that to no avail.
No, I don't think you could get these on without touching them
The Bearfoot Oso allows you to do this but, the back of heel part is designed to flatten down and stay down to wear them like slippers if you choose to leave it. Or, you use a couple of fingers to pull the back portion up to wear like a shoe. I think they are a great design.
Thank you@@sonsofsever
I've seen a few shoes like that. That's not what I'm looking for though.@@millone3393
Want to try them but my size is never in stock. Finally after months of waiting it was in stock. Placed my order and ended up receiving toddler size shoes. Was going to return and they were now out of my size again. Gave them away to a friend with young kids. I’ll stick with Vivo and Lems. Splay was a huge waste of my time.
Yeah they have the kids sizes listed on the same page as the adult sizes, definitely gotta be careful there.
Bummer…I have problems finding my size too…
Can wear zero drop shoes….
9:35 Why are they uncomfortable when they have the widest toebox ever ?
They’re not uncomfortable in the toebox. They are low to the foot. They don’t squeeze the toes together but they are tight on the top of the foot
@@sonsofseverThats not good, wish i had read that earlier, i have a very wide foot and a high instep, just ordered a pair of explores from europe, shipping costs and customs fees will double the price and i can't return them. Watched your comparison with the Lems Primal Zen and you did not mention that they were narrower on the instep.
@@snorrevonflake if you got the Explores I don't think you'll have a problem. The Explores never gave the squeeze feeling the Slip Ons do, with the adjustable velcro strap I think you'll be set!
