I wanted to like these so bad

I wanted to like these so bad.

I really like the look of these slides and love my other Norda shoes so I decided to try out the 008s. They look as great in person as they do in the photos. The color in life is a pleasing pale yellow, kind of banana color.

The foam is incredible. It’s soft but has a perfect amount of bounce back and the texture is warm and inviting. It’s like the place where my feet want to be after a long run.

And the fact that is has a Vibram sole means I can take the dog for a walk after running, without worrying about grinding down the foam.

So why 3 stars? The fit. The fit is terrible. For comparison: I typically wear size 12, but for running shoes I generally wear a 12.5. Per the recommendation, I up that another half size, to 13, for the 001s. 001s fit great in length, width, and height. So I figured the 008s in size 13 should also fit well. They did not.

Lengthwise the tip of my toes reached the edge of the foam in the front as my heel did in the rear, so no worries there, even if it was a “just barely” fit. But to even check that I had to jam my foot into the slide by using a wall for leverage. The height and width of the slide is almost laughably narrow. It is a completely different fit from the 001s. This was without socks, by the way. After a few tentative steps the slide rejected my foot and slid off, leaving my heel hanging over the edge. A second attempt went no better and the constant squeezing started to hurt my feet so I had to take them off and return them. I would try a size 14 but can’t seem to find any in stock.

Like I said above, these slides have a lot of positives but the fit is just so radically off that they are unwearable as sized.

in between sizes

I love the Hinoki. It's super comfy and well engineered.
However, would go a half size up, meaning by slides a full size:
Instead of a US 9.0 to a US 10.0.

These are some 5 star slides

These are some 5 star slides, but a bit narrow for my foot. Unfortunately they didn’t work for me, but handsome and well made.

Walking on a cloud

Since stepping into these shoes my feet have been in utter heaven and inseparable! The cushion, grip, and colour make this a 5/5 star creation. Finally something that has actually allowed me to recover which has always come with much resistance! My feet and toes are very happy 😃
