Did the maker finish the item by the expected date (ETA)?
YES - the ETA was accurate


Did you tell the maker about any issues you had?
I did mention that I had a bit of trouble walking in it at first. This was partly due to not being used to digitigrade legs, and partly due to an injury in my foot that was still healing, and partly because they legs and feet are quite large and took some getting used to. The suit was also built around a foam body pod, which was not made by this maker. I have had the suit for a year now, and walking in it has become somewhat easier.

BODY
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the body of the costume.
If you are reviewing armsleeves or legs/pants that are seperate from a bodysuit, your answers would also go in this section.
(Appendages, such as hands, feet, tails, etc., are discussed later.)

Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear this piece of your costume.
I love the feet. They were made from soft bedroom slippers and are very comfortable. The whole suit fits me perfectly and is comfortable to wear, aside from heat issues. The only trouble that I have is the heat, which is to be expected in any fursuit, but I do think the foam body pod makes it hotter than most. I have found that wearing an ice pack vest helps with this somewhat.

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
The suit looks as it should, I am happy with the overall appearance of it.
