are they blueish aqua or an actual Cyan type colour?
The 1989 shoe used a cyan almost greenish colour, which is the exact colour of my DIY panels.
Not sure if the 2011 shoe used an exact cyan like 1989.

nobody's getting 4 days. Its just standard horsecrap talk from the fake sellers trying to sweet talk everyone into thinking they are perfect and long lasting lighting times.

Just a heads up guys. I took the insoles out of my UK6 / US7 to measure them as I still think they felt a tad on the large side. Even though the label says US7 / 25cm, the insole length is actually 26cm exactly which is a US8.
Perhaps it's because it was an early US7 order, maybe the first one, I don't know, but I get the feeling they may have put the '7' label on them to get them out of the door as a few folk feared, if not, they do run slightly oversize in this particular size. Either way, they do fit me well & I intend to wear them, but if size is of the upmost importance to you, I would measure against the stared size just to be sure they are correct.
I have another pair of '7' on the way but I'm waiting for them to be made as I didn't like the photos of the pair they sent me, so I shall compare against these & let you all know.
Anyone else who has ordered a US 7 or US 8 owners. I would be interested to know your actual insole size if you'd care to post it on here.

Does anyone have a rough estimate on how long it usually takes to have these fully charged?

YESSSS!!!!!! Thank you.
True, I can see what you mean about the fabric looking better there, but WOW, what a great illustration of how disappointingly dim the EL is.

I have a US7 apparently but I feel they may be a tad bigger. What length is your insole?

I will be getting my US 7 Monday so I can check sizing
That's awesome of him. You deserve a pair.
Thank you Brad! It's been a while I was waiting for a decent good looking pair, and in my size on top of this! Now let's hope it will work out!And yeah Fabri has been really helpful! Either way, I wouldn't be mad at him if he says no after all as its a good amount of money xD I just hope mine will be near perfect too, would be great! Amyway, might get mine around September/October anyway as I don't want Fabri to ship it before I fully refund him ^^!
My insole is about 26.4cm long. Or 10 3/8 inches.

According to the sizing chart I have, a US8 Men is just under 265mm, so that sounds true to size. .

My original parts were re-worked off the vacuum formed parts I did back in 2012.
Once I molded and cast these, I made several sets which have all been used or sold. The parts were nice, but a touch too round, so I reworked them again.
This is my latest version. I have not really cast any parts yet. The original part is on the right. The dimples in the new part look overly pronounced, because of shadows.
So what I did was to place half of the original mold into the mold box (butter box in the picture), flood it with D65 plastic and then resculpt. I then trimmed a bit off the bulge and added the dimples to look closer to the screen used shoe buckles.
After I was happy with the new master part, I placed it back into the butter box and fill the container with silicon. I repeated the steps until I had 2 x the 2 part molds.
The first test I did used the same A65 rubber I use for the soles and the strap tabs seemed too weak. It might be possible to pour the body in A65 and then reinforce the tabs with A100.
The buckles currently on my shoes are all A100 and whist they don't flex, add real support to the back of the leg and are very comfortable.

So the question I have right now for this rejected this pair is - Do they just sold off to someone less fussy or are they marked as B stock?
