5 out of 5 starsMandy did a great job on these shoes. I love the colorful inside. The bucket snap is perfect. The toe box is amazing. The ground feel is perfect. I had been searching for more Jing Jung’s by vivobarefoot and now I don’t have to be sad anymore. Thanks so much! Worth the wait for custom!

5 out of 5 starsI am blown away by my experience with this shop! I ordered custom shoes for my daughter who has trouble with her feet and needed something other than athletic shoes for an upcoming event. Mandy was beyond patient with my countless questions and concerns. She took time to listen and understand what we needed. The final product was perfect!!! I wish I would have videoed the unboxing of the package. Both my daughter and I gasped when we saw her shoes. She is so proud to have pretty shoes that fit! Mandy is not only a brilliantly talented artist, but a kind and compassionate person. We need more people in our world like her and I need more of her shoes! Thank you, Mandy!!! I will post photos of the shoes soon.

5 out of 5 starsMandy was lovely to work with on getting these custom shoes made. My feet are much happier wearing these with room for my toes and a super flexible sole. I love the surprise fabric on the inside!

5 out of 5 starsPerfect shoes! I wanted to add a note for anyone looking to buy these shoes: I washed my shoes in cold water as soon as they arrived. I did that because I had read reviews that the shoes ran on the larger side, and having worked enough with fabrics over the years, had an inclination that these fabric shoes would tighten up after some light washing. They did! And they are the PERFECT FIT! So if you do order these, and they arrive slightly large, just wash them gently in cold water and let them air dry for a day.

5 out of 5 starsI can't say enough about how amazing these shoes are!!! Mandy is an absolute hero for my feet. I bought these because I have flat feet, and throughout my life had issues with my feet hurting or feeling very uncomfortable in all varieties of supported shoes. About a year ago I bought some flat yoga shoes for wearing around the house. Well, I noticed that my feet hurt me less when I wore completely flat yoga shoes all day than when I wore any of my shoes that had support. Yoga shoes are good, but they are more of a one size fits all, and so they were never quite as comfortable on the upper part of my foot as I would like. These shoes though.. It is like a dream come true. I am so very appreciative for Mandy and these shoes!!! THANK YOU!!

4 out of 5 starsOrder a half size smaller. Was a little concerned when I first put them on as they were way too big. Once I put my orthopedic inserts in and my correct toes they fit much better but still a bit loose. I’ll need to get a heal gripper or put some elastic in the heel to help secure better. Other than that they a super cute. I love the pattern she chose for the inside. I can tell these will be good weather shoes. Mine are denim and I don’t think they will be very water resistant. I’m sure other fabrics would be different. I would order again just I’ll do a size smaller next time.

5 out of 5 starsThis seller was more than happy to help me choose a fabric and color like I envisioned for my shoes. I went with the rubber soles for mine. I was frustrated in the beginning because she did not communicate that orders were behind until I reached out to inquire about my purchase being late, so I had to wait much longer than expected for my shoes to be finished. That being said, she was very apologetic and did her best to make things right. She is very kind and easy to work with. I think the final product was worth the wait! I love my new shoes! They are really cute, fit perfectly, are extremely comfortable, and seem like very high quality. I would definitely purchase from this seller again.

Are these shoes washable? Waterproof?
Washable?
Yes!
You may wash shoes from Dextra Perspective using COLD (room temp or luke warm is fine) water, by hand or in a washing machine.
Drying: It is recommended to let the shoes air dry and avoid heat to the sole. (Heat from asphalt or the ground does not cause and issue.)
Waterproof?
Currently, the simple answer is, no. You are welcome to use a waterproofing agent to help keep water out. Scotch Guard spray and wax are 2 commonly used ways to help protect your shoes from water.
I am looking into ways to offer waterproofing/resistance to you in the future.
How long do these shoes last?
Much of this depends on how you use and care for your shoes, just like any other pair you own.
Rubber soles are more durable for hard abrasive surfaces such as concrete or asphalt. See more about soles below in "Sole Option Details"
Caring for your feet will increase the life span of the insole. More options for insoles soon to come!
Sole Option Details
Thin Rubber Sole: This is the thinnest sole option and offers the most barefoot feel. Approx 1/16" thickness. Vibram Brand
Leather Only Sole: This sole is a little thicker to start. Approx 1/18". The leather quickly molds to your foot with wear, and will thin with use and abrasive surfaces. You can walk on any surface you would normally walk on with this sole, grass, dirt, gravel, roads and sidewalks. Your leather only soles are finished with a weather proof conditioner. It is recommended to reapply a similar agent regularly for the best results. The leather has a smooth finish and will be slippery on certain or wet surfaces. To get more traction see the Leather + Rubber options.
Sole Option Details (Cont.)
Thick Rubber:
The thick rubber sole is also from Vibram. It is approx 1/8" thick. This sole gives you a more soft and cushy feel to your shoes.
Leather + Thin Rubber:
The thin rubber is added to the leather sole giving it more traction. This combination also adds thickness to the sole of the shoe. You get the benefits of the leather and the thin rubber. Leather = 1/8" + Thin Rubber = 1/16" Total = 3/16" thick sole.
Leather +Thick Rubber:
Thick Rubber soling is added to the leather sole giving the benefits of both leather that molds to your foot and the soft cushy feel of the thick rubber. Traction is also added. Leather = 1/8" + Thick Rubber = 1/8" Total = 1/4" thick sole.
Can I get this in black? And Other Custom Options.
Yes, I would be happy to make any style in black. Or brown, tan/beige, gray, purple, green and many other colors. Let me know what color you would like and I can source the fabric for you. Some fabrics are more expensive than others, incurring an up charge.
**Simply note that you would like the shoes in black at purchase in the "Add to Your Personalization" or "Notes to Seller" box.
Did you find a fabric you love and want it as a pair of ballet flats or moccasins? Send me a note in your purchase or use the "Custom Request" button with the link to your design. Depending on the custom request additional charges may apply.

What if My Shoes Don't Fit?
Dextra Perspective shoes will stretch and mold to your foot with wear, and will happen relatively quickly. They are designed to fit a wider foot bed. Narrow and extra wide options are available.
A few things can be done to correct minor issues. Contact me to send them back to me and I will make most adjustments free of charge. Some customers have preferred to take them to a local shoe repair for slight adjustments.
Check the measurements of your foot to ensure the correct size was ordered. Make sure you are standing with weight on your foot for measuring.
If there are fit issues that cannot be corrected with minor adjustments, you may return them for a 50% credit towards a new pair or return. You are also welcome to resell them.
