I will try contacting Minnetonka and share any positive news. Libra, (i'm a Libra too,) and before I found this sandal, had a pair of Borns that were the BEST! A friend found them at a 2nd hand store, brand new! Best walking shoes ever. Sadly my dog ran off with one of them... My shoe karma is not the greatest! I like barefoot best anyway. Ibby
