@YinTx Thanks for the info, I don't think you are wrong. But I don't think potential customers should need to do the research that you have done - Jojomojo could have explained himself, either here or on the website.

Also, I flat-out refuse to make allowances for people's lack of language skills if they market to me. (When I want something from a Russian who normally only sells to Russians, it's up to me to find a way around the language barrier.) When I wrote my brochures in French, I had native speaker friends look them over. 

Apart from that I actually find the concept quite interesting... Looks like a great way for a struggling small shoe factory to drum up some business (anybody here seen "Kinky Boots"?

When some one puts a link to a sale site and asks for "interested" it to me looks like he wants to sell something / boost sales / wants to promote his shoes (what ever). To me it does not look as if he was asking for opinions on his shoe design or workmanship.

Even if I liked the shoes design wise - I would not buy them because of the super low profile cheapish looking soles that probably wears off in a few weeks (or days?). Thats not sustainable, just another throw away fashion piece. We have far too much of this fast fashion junk. Every Chuck Tailor All Star has a better sole. For me the soles on shoes are very important. I´d ask the shoe maker for better soles but looks like this is a kind of kit and you have no other options. Since the shoes are made in Italy check with VIBRAM they make All Star soles as well.

My opinion.

I think we all need to take a deep breath.  The first message was very "sketchy" looking, you have to admit that.  It is like the emails I get that are begging you to click.  They are all spurious sites.  Could be phishing, could be ransom ware, who knows?

And yes, the person seems to be someone that doesn't speak English as a first language.  But that doesn't excuse a post with only a link.  They were able to come up with a title, right?

What I'm saying is I can see both sides.  I don't blame people for being cautious.  But you don't have to automatically think the worst either.

First thought: For that price i could buy 2 pairs of chucks and some air for 1s and be set for a year.

Second thought: Soles look cheap and the colorway isn't appealing anddddddd you're not even making them....

maybe try Facebook marketplace or Instagram ads if you're trying to get some sales.
