When I first heard about these things I thought it was a gimmick, but now I can't live without them. I play guitar and sing in my band and there's plenty of "pedal dancing" going on and sometimes I can't actually look down at the pedals to switch things on or off while I'm singing so my foot aim is just going off muscle memory and so there are plenty of times I don't hit the buttons right or accidentally move knobs and mess up my tone or levels. These Barefoot buttons have helped with that a lot. Having a larger surface area makes it much easier to switch things on/off without missing and not hitting the knobs. Plus it also makes hitting multiple pedals at the same time easier which was an unintended but welcome feature. The quality is great. I've never had one break or come off while in use, even when I've stomped on them fairly hard. It's also cool that they offer multiple colors to further customize the look of your pedals.
