Okay, I finally get it. I love these shoes.

For context, I'm 62, and have been a barefoot person my whole life. I usually use my huaraches, but my joints are starting to complain about the lack of cushion, and I've, erm, had wooden objects to through my toe a couple times... shoes are kinda nice that way.

So I finally bit the bullet and went to REI and checked out Lone Peaks. The 11.5 was what the chart said, but then I put on the 12 and my feet would not let me take them off...I'm still wearing them 6 hours later, which is the longest I've had shoes on for a good 20 years.
