Sounds good Rick. I debated on the soles considering a wide range of uses I have in mind including hiking in the mountains, and decided on the 6's. I figure if I end up feeling to much roughness if I'm on rocky trails I'll order another pair later with the 10's. Still waiting on mine though, thats the only problem when you order 'homemade' stuff! I am proud to say a lot of my hiking gear is all made by individuals or small family businesses (sleeping bag, tent, stove, etc) rather than the chineese big box store stuff.
I see what you mean about the soles forming to your foot. I can see my feathers now molding to the contours. However the same problem persists. They tend to rotate to point more out in the front, and my big toes are over the edge. I can feel the edge under the center of my big toes every step. No biggie for the couple miles I have em on here and there, but if I were to run 10 miles straight or something like that I wonder if I would get a blister there. I've tried tightening them but it seems to make no difference, except for pain from the strap. The alternate strap method didnt seem to change that either, so I just put em back to norm and run with them a little loose and just not worry about it. If I could move the hole outboard a little might help, but I dont think I can really do that, and the hole seems to be in the right spot just by placing my foot centered on the sandal. Maybe I am twisting my foot or something when I use them? I have noticed I think my gait is slightly different with them, I think I tend to pick up my toes more and run with more of a bycicle like stride since my mind seems to think I am going to trip over the front lip of the sandal or something.
