To add to your safety comment: Non-slip surfaces significantly reduce injuries from jumping or falling! They help keep bunny's feet from "kicking out" when they jump or splaying out under them when they land.
That's non-slip on the floor AND non-slip on surfaces they're jumping off of. For example I have non-slip stickers on my bedside table because Truffles likes to jump off it onto the floor.
Floor that's non-slip for running might not be non-slip enough for jumping. My bun started on blankets but they slid right across the floor when she jumped up or down from the bed or side table (1.5 - 2.5ft). And she's only 2lbs!
Non-slip tape (sorry for formatting). Choose "shower" or "light-duty" options - the others might irritate their feet. NOTE: this tape is probably not good for bunnies & breeds prone to sore hocks.
Thanks for the awesome review! They look awesome despite the flaws.
I've bought four pairs of these rockstuds from this exact shop. I think they do vary the slightest in quality, like the loose threads and pointed toe defect - but out of my four, I haven't gotten a bad apple yet. I haven't gotten any bad toe points, so I'm sorry yours isn't great. :( some of my pairs have the slightest glue residue but for the most part they're all really unnoticeable. The lining of the sole is orange/brown, and that's on par with the pairs I have - I'd suggest maybe acrylic polish or nail polish (or even a sharpie) to cover if you're really self conscious?
The sole is definitely plastic, so I recommend putting some anti-slip traction on there. I use traction tape (the invisible ones you put in your shower or stairs ��)
In my honest opinion I think maybe stretching out the toe area might be more beneficial than sizing up, especially two sizes. I usually wear 38 for most taobao shoes and 37 for heels/loafers, and I got a 37 in these guys. On two pairs, I felt like the back straps that hold your heels kept slipping off. Even when I adjusted the buckle to be tighter, it didn't feel as secure as I wanted. However I just received another pair yesterday (��) and that one had the perfect back strap comfort and felt tight and just right.
But that might just be my own experience, to each their own :) I haven't tried stretching the toe area yet but I'll try tonight with leather stretcher spray and confirm if they're leather or not.
This.
