I've been wanting to buy a pair. Need help with the sizing. I'm normally a 10.5. Tried a 42 and had 1/2 inch on the heel. Tightened it up and the bands overlapped. Tried 41. Still had space at the heel. Felt tighter around the toes. Can anyone, KC...
hmm, i'll definitely try and get these then. cuz my technique really needs work. I just need some more experience

Yeah you can move each toe. I feel like a ninja when I have them on.
I have these, and can vouch they are absolutely amazing.
Those shoes look crazy, can you move your toes independently?
