Soft Star Dash Runamoc
http://www.softstarshoes.com/dash-runamoc-all-smooth-black.html

CONSTRUCTION
Thin, flexible, stretchable leather. Purchased with 2mm street sole.

FIT
Purchased wide width. Needed some stretching in the forefeet, but still a bit tight on my very wide forefeet. Have about 0.5 inch extra room in the front. Otherwise, fits my feet well.

CUSTOMER SERVICE
Exceptional customer service. Never felt rushed. I wasn’t sure what size I needed for my wide forefeet, so I called them. They had a 13 wide on hand and shipped it out. I tried it on, it was too long, and I called them about exchanging it for a 12 wide. The Soft Star Elves went to work on my size 12 wide, while I paid to ship the 13 wide back. Upon receipt of the exchange, Soft Star shipped out the 12 wide for free, as I had opted for store credit.

PRICE
A bit over $100 in total with shipping.

OPINION
I really like these shoes, however they weren’t wide enough in the forefeet for me. (I have exceptionally wide forefeet.) I stuffed the shoes with a damp cloth, as recommended by Soft Star to allow them to stretch, but even after 8 months, was still working at stretching the leather.

While recently browsing their website, I realized that they started offering a Wide XL in the Original Runamoc. See next post.

Soft Star Original Runamoc

CONSTRUCTION
Thin, flexible, stretchable leather. This appears to be the same leather used in the Runamoc Dash in the first post. Purchased with 2mm street sole. DYO (design-your-own) with Sublime Black leather all around.

FIT
Purchased Wide XL width. Needed some stretching in the forefeet, but now seems to fit my exceptionally wide forefeet very well. Have about 0.5 inch extra room in the front. Feels, a bit loose in the heel on the right shoe, for some reason. Laces have some elastic sewn into them, and it took a bit of trial and error to get the laces just right for me.

CUSTOMER SERVICE
Didn’t call this time. However, placed the order one morning, and it shipped out in the afternoon 2 days later. I consider that pretty awesome! :D

PRICE
A bit over $100 including shipping.

OPINION
I like these shoes, because they fit my forefeet well. (I have an exceptionally wide forefeet.) I stuffed the shoes with a damp cloth, and this seems to have done the trick. Honestly, I like the style and general fit of the Runamoc Dash better. I’m still getting use to the single elastic lace wrapped around my ankle area.

Every other shoe that I’ve tried, is design for people with shoe-shaped feet. I think that even the habitually barefoot might find the Original Runamoc to be comfortable.

Ideally, if Soft Star made a Runamoc Dash in Wide XL, I’d buy it! :D
 
wait, what was that about your forefeet? i didn't quite catch that.
