I would recommend never skimping on shoes. If you are just after the wide toebox that you can repair and resolve, rather than a true barefoot shoe, you may want to ask the folkx over at r/goodyearwelt.

Thanks I'll have a look!

Thanks so much! I was wondering what Kai was like. I saw them in a few reputable shops, but I wasn't sure what they were like.

I'm only an occasional sewer, but I do enough to get pissed off with how poorly my current scissors cut!

I probably can't justify a rotary cutter but will definitely look into the Kai!

Will have a look. Thanks!
