This slipper has an innovative closure system, with the elastic upper cinching over the arch with a Velcro strap. This provides a snugger and more locked-on fit than many slippers I’ve tried, although the strap proved painful, pinching the skin on the instep of my foot. The last was also a little strange. When sized tightly, this shoe pulled my big toe up, rather than down – reducing power on steep rock.
+ Locked-on fit.
– Unfocused last.
