Hi Rad Friends! We're here in Radical Land Studio with a very exciting episode of ‘Radical Yes Reads Your Reviews’! Hooray! It’s been a while, so we thought we might jump on and do one of our most highly reviewed shoes now - Adventure Awaits - look how proud she is.
All right, so, let's get straight into it, but actually before I do, I do want to say that we're giving a $250 gift voucher to the best review. So that's going to make you stay on and see which one it is right?
Oh crumbs, here we go - Jasmine says…
“Comfiest shoes! Amazing for anyone with high arches as the leather upper is soft enough to not press into the top of your foot. Almost like sandals!”
Jasmine, couldn't agree more, they are almost like sandals with a closed toe, definitely something we had in our minds.
“… the sole is spongy and flexible too, so you don't feel like you're wearing hard cork slip-ons.”
Not going to say what brand that is, but there is another brand that makes them like that.
“… had to get another pair!”
Thanks Jasmine. We really agree with everything you've said there, but I think the high arch point is a particularly good one, because we do have a lot of customers with high arches, and this shoe does really accommodate around that.
Mary said…
“Like walking on clouds!”
Clouds are coming up a lot for these shoes.
“… these are my fourth pair…”
Thanks Mary!
“… of Adventure Awaits Clogs, I have them in multiple colours. They've become my favourite Radical Yes shoe. Wearing my Adventure Awaits Clogs feels like walking on clouds; they're incredibly comfortable and great for wide feet.”
This is so our shoe for wide feet. When people ask us, “I have wide feet, I have problem feet”, straight to Adventure Awaits.
“...The arch support is fantastic, I hope more colours are released”.
There are more colours coming Mary! Stay tuned!
“Ultimate Comfort!” Says Mon
“I work in a career where I rarely sit down during work hours. My knees and hips had started to ache daily, even rotating other quality brand shoes. Since purchasing, I wear these Monday to Friday with no issue. Most supporting shoe and well-made! I did find the run large, would have loved the size down. Thanks Radical Yes! Local and quality.”
I do want to make some comments on that Mon, and that is, the first thing is Monday to Friday wear we have to wear them every other day, remember. We’re not going to wear them every single day because otherwise they’re going to get worn out too quickly. We like to let the shoes have a little rest in between wears.
Couldn't agree with you more that they do run a little bit large and some people do size up - sorry - size down because they run large. That's something to keep in mind if you are looking at this style. But the insole is really super comfortable. It's made from an EVA foam, it's got a lot of - it's a memory foam, so it actually reflects your foot back and it keeps it nice and structured underneath, especially in the arch, but it's still really squishy like clouds, exactly as everyone's saying.
The last one, which is actually our $250 gift card winner, Jessica…
“Hoof heaven! Love love love. I have a long and wide foot, and these are just glorious.”
Makes me so happy when we nail a long and wide foot fit.
“I ordered the 41 and found them to be pretty generously sized. I consider these shoes up there with my Blundstones and Doc Martins: shoes I'll wear the &%$# out of and keep buying for as long as they make them.”
Thanks Jessica, that's such inspiration for us and actually inspires us to make a lot of other colours that we'd been considering. There’s a few things on the board at the moment, we've got the same jade green as the Arkestra Jade.
Staying in the Arkestra family, we've also been riffing on the Midnight Plum that we've just put out, which everyone's loving, and we've also got this crochet situation that we've been working on which I only have an upper pattern for so far, but could be a little limited number situation coming soon on that. It's definitely not like Blunstone or Doc Martins uppers; it's a little bit more decorative. But definitely has limited edition excellence written all over it.
Coming to a shoe shop called Radical Yes near you soon. All right, that's ‘Adventure Awaits Read Your Reviews’. Stay Radical!
