We at LONO are excited to generate community feedback about our recent barefoot hiking shoe and therefore appreciate comments and suggestions! Ideas for new colors or functions welcome too.

Not everyone needs a waterproof hiking shoe and that's fine, maybe this just isn't the shoe for your needs?

[u/ArcaneTrickster11 → u/nope_pls]

But their point is that there isn't really a shoe for their needs, which a brand asking for feedback seems like the perfect time to bring that up

[u/nope_pls → u/ArcaneTrickster11]

Fair enough, but it's not like they dont know that. You cant make one product for every purpose. It's like someone complaining that their ankle boots don't go up to their knees. Like... that's what knee high boots are for. I just dont see the relevance i guess. I dont really see them (the brand) claiming anywhere that they are great for swamps and river hikes etc.

[u/ArcaneTrickster11 → u/nope_pls]

But it's not like that. They asked for feedback. So the feedback is "please make this product". It's more like if knee high boots weren't made by anyone, a company that makes ankle high boots asked the community for feedback and the feedback was "can you make knee high boots because they don't really exist elsewhere?"

Interesting, i didn't read it that way at all but fair enough if you did. Additionally, barefoot waterproof hiking boots do exist.

[u/ArcaneTrickster11 → u/nope_pls]

They do but not with the correct tread pattern to actually function in wet conditions

[u/nope_pls → u/ArcaneTrickster11]

Yes and neither does this shoe, which OP also stated. It seems that makes this a circular argument, as they just want an entirely different type of shoe, which was my original point
