I could not help admiring excellent workmanship, lovely packaging and the sense of holding something special. Unfortuanately I am not able to wear it and had to give it away. I fitted freestyle nr8's in a store but ordered the vellie that was not available in store....it is way to narrow....? Although the 8's of other freestyle styles fitted well . Lace up vellies traditionally have space for the person with a wider foot but unfortuanately it is not the case with these. I am the proud owner of freestyle shoes which I bough 14 months back in a store and they are strong, comfortable and well made. I like the brand and quality but will not order online again...if I can't fit the spesific shoe I don't want it.
