Since barefoot shoes are already wide in the tote box, i find stitch down shoes make them look even wider. I prefer a construction that folds under to minimize that footprint.
Been wanting to make shoes like this! I want to experiment with different ways to make the toe flex without the entire shoe winding up being just a glorified sock., its difficult buying the vibram material for the sole, though, so expensive. I'd also want the joints to be glued so they are pliable and dont buckle like a stitched joint seems to do.
