these vivobarefoot esc jungle boots arrived today and they were tight af and super squishy in the sole, almost totally not barefoot style

i thought to myself, i wonder if there is a removable innersole ... sure enough, and you can probably see that the right foot (your left) is more relaxed in there where the other foot, with the innersole still in, is squished

it was made even worse by the laces, which are possibly the nearest thing i've seen to heavy duty paracord in boot laces in my life... switched them out for light weight elastic cord with a spring clamping closure to tighten them

i almost thought i'd made a mistake not getting the next size up but once the laces and innersole are gone, they fit like a glove
