Good eye. Stomping all over Italy and Switzerland this summer in my Alden 405s gave me a wicked bad case of Achilles tendinitis. To get a better extension of the tendon, I went back to my many pairs of Danish Duckfeet. Technically, they aren’t zero drop, as there’s a small crepe heel, but they are foot shaped and very comfortable. That said, I always take a saw to mine when they’re new and cut the heel off. All of my feet are touching ground, and sometimes, that just feels right! They’re very well made and so comfortable. I highly recommend!

Wow, first time I hear abaout DuckFeet. Just checked their website and should give them a go.

How do you find sizing as compared to other makers?

Re jacket: I have rarely seen a better fitting LHB; it´s not easy to get the lenght exactly right but you and the Aero team nailed that one!

Thank you! All sizes are naturally wide and will accommodate a full-splay of your feet, so the only thing you’ll likely be sizing is length. I’ve found sizing to be pretty standard, true-to-size, but one time my toe was close to the end, so I sent them back for one size larger. Really cool shoes!

Thank you! Will give it a try for sure.
