Been wearing minimalist shoes for close to a decade. Someone told me about SOM awhile ago but I was afraid of small-batch, hand-made shoes -- thinking may be not for me... These shoes, indeed, are "classic" looking -- in that they are unassumingly stylish. More importantly they feel great on my feet!
