I doubt I would buy a pair, after making my huaraches from a kit I think I'm kinda hooked on making my own shoes, it seems to be a more natural and minimal approach, or at least more personal.
However I'm sure I'm not the only one who cares, so my question is, how breathable are the shoes? I'm kinda loathe to go back to anything closed toed, because my get really hot and sweaty whenever my foot is enclosed. And yes, I know there are powders and whatnot, but I'm really more concerned with my feet being uncomfortably hot all the time, the sweat is just a result of the main problem.
I think all of the barefooters out there would appreciate being able to put on a shoe that didn't feel like a 100 degree summer with 99% humidity. If I were to design a shoe that would be my main concern, especially since I almost never wear shoes when ground feel is even an issue (I don't really need to know what the carpets at school feel like). Natural foot movement is important, but as far as ground feel goes you can only get so close to barefoot with something attatched to your feet. If you really want more ground feel, just take your shoes of and FEEL THE GROUND! Sure improving ground feel is good, but I think there are other important things that minimal shoe companies should be focusing on as well, breathability being #1 on that list.
