  Extra-dimensional Higgsless models with electroweak symmetry breaking through
boundary conditions generically have difficulties with electroweak precision
constraints, when the fermions are localized to the ``branes'' in the fifth
dimension. In this paper we show that these constraints can be relaxed by
allowing the light fermions to have a finite extent into the bulk of the fifth
dimension. The $T$ and $U$ electroweak parameters can be naturally suppressed
by a custodial symmetry, while the $S$ parameter can be made to vanish through
a cancellation, if the leakage into the bulk of the light gauge fields and the
light left-handed fermion fields are of the same size. This cancellation is
possible while allowing realistic values for the first two generations of
fermion masses, although special treatment is probably required for the top
quark. We present this idea here in the context of a specific continuum
theory-space model; however, it can be applied to any five-dimensional
Higgsless model, either with a flat or a warped background.
