Knee-high wool socks paired with below-ankle, ventilated, quick-drying shoes are a better choice than boots.
Also, the wait time on Russells is 4.5 months. Imagine waiting that amount of time, only to find out that the maker didn't actually have a clue as to what you really wanted.
I think they would be nice...Can't justify the 300 bucks (after shipping and what not) a pair. That's just absurd...I was thinking that some of the Vivobarefoot line were overprice...These are just nuts. I'd rather go with the oxford styled Runamoc Lite for a work shoe...Actually, I'm hoping to talk my wife into a pair of these for my bday...
