Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Since these are my first Shelltoes, I'm a little unfamiliar with some things. I was wondering if you guys could give me a little advice/insight. I've tried searching posts, but haven't really come up with anything concrete.

Now that I've had these shoes for a couple of days, I've had a chance to walk around in them a lot. I've noticed that when I'm walking, the shells make the tops of my feet hurt. When I step forwards (and the toes on my back foot bend) it feels like the rubber shells dig into the top of my foot.

Is this common? I don't know what to do about this. I've tried making my shoes too loose, too tight, not laced through the tongue. Am I the only one this happens to?

perhaps your shoes are too small?

i haven't had this problem with any of my soops, to tell you the truth. I'd maybe try thinner socks? suffer through and hope they loosen up?

I was gonna suggest the same thing - I used to wear thick socks with mine which was a bad move... I've had problems with my shells before with breaking them in (even at the right size it can happen - same with my old man) - give it some time and they should feel better on your feet!

And of course - Welcome aboard!

Thanks. I will give that a shot.
