🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A curated database or marketplace filter for athletic footwear that allows users to toggle 'vegan' and 'wide-toebox' attributes.
  2. A guide or blog series reviewing and testing non-leather lifting shoes specifically for wide-footed athletes.
  3. A crowdfunding campaign or design initiative to partner with a boutique shoe manufacturer to produce a vegan, wide-toebox lifting shoe.
