You know, I’ve got a few cases of the “Classics” with defective midsole shaping. I could put them on the belt sander and take the midsole down to slipper thickness and have a new product line. Of course, the extra labor would make them more expensive and they probably wouldn’t come with a sticker.
Just cut the heel cup off. Call them clogs.
How long did you guys have to wait until they arrived?
ordered on Tue, received on Thu or Fri. NH to MA, though. Either way, fast.
Hey Chuck, what do we have to do to qualify for “sticker status” ?
Ask and you shall receive…a sticker, that is.
BTW, the sticker has gone international.
Chuck: I managed about 1.5 miles on my bad calf. I like the shoes. Much thinner feeling than what I am used to but I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. They feel light and responsive.
What is the purpose of the hollow area in the front of the shoe, near the ball of the foot?
Hey Chuck-
make mine say, “i just ordered another pair of Vitruvians!” 
Actually, I tired to be creative and entered a sticker request into the ‘promo code’ box…
take care,
Josef
Yeah - fast shipping, but no sticker for me 
My first short run was also positive, but I think I prefer my Wave Precisions a bit better. I also couldn’t resist trying for $30. My wife thought they looked like “K-mart specials” Oh well, maybe for training runs?

If you remove the sockliner and look into the shoe, you can see a dark area in the midsole through the mesh. That’s a second density EVA/rubber compound. At least I hope that’s what you’re seeing.

Got it.
(sorry about bringing up the sticker)
Got mine today, seem pretty comfy, but I should have gone even a little larger in size.
No sticker though
I’m going to put my sticker on ebay is you are interested.
I also drank the Kool-Aid, and ordered up a pair on Wed afternoon. Chuck had e-mailed me and said if I got back to him before 3pm, he’d get 'em out that day. Which I did and he did. BIG props to Chuck for outstanding customer service. As good as it gets.
I got 'em Friday. Only wore 'em around the ranch and out to dinner so far, but they are very comfy, “feel” reasonably light, and seem to propel yer foot forward by themselves.
If it weren’t monsooning out today, I’d take 'em for their first test run.
They run SMALL. I take size 9 street shoes, 9.5 Boston Classics, and these are 10’s, and fit well (a tad wide, but I have narrow feet, so almost all shoes are a tad wide for my feet)
I also got a sticker. “Proud sponsor of: last tri in 83”. Sheesh, you really have some kinda clout w/ Chuck it seems (or perhaps a set of photos that he doesn’t want aired in public? haha!!!)
For $30, no tax and free shipping, ya pretty much can’t go wrong here. Mebbe I’ll eBay my sticker too, since they seem to be the new “must have” accessory.
Hey Chuck, I had an idea about your shoe sizing. Since your shoes run half size smaller than other running shoes, on future shoes, why don’t you just put a sizing tag, box and market them as a half size smaller! Basically, if your shoe for example is a size 9, why not in the future sell it as a 8 1/2?
oh, btw, I ordered a pair of shoes, can I get a sticker? thanks… I am registered under your site as my slowtwitch screenname
Thanks!

It’s going to be a hot item at the Wildflower.
