Hey all,
I've been searching the forums for this information and haven't really found the answer I'm looking for yet, so here goes:
My Katanas are worn out and I need some shoes to wear while they go to be resoled. After trying on a friend's broken in Prima slippers at the gym, I discovered the Five.Ten closeout website and ordered the Anasazi Slippers, Prima Slippers and Prima Laceups. I wear a size 9 street shoe and ordered the Primas in 8.5 and the Anasazis in 6.5.
The Anasazis are too small and going back, but I'm wondering about the stretch on the Primas. I think the slippers will work fine after a few wears, but does anyone have experience with the Prima Lace ups? I am wearing them now at my desk and they are painful. They are unlined synthetic. I know Five.Ten says "pain is lame", but how much will they stretch?
Thanks!
P.S. If anyone is looking for any of these shoes, check out the Five.Ten closeouts. They are cheap!

They're cheap for a reason - they have trouble staying on.

I climbed some 5.11 stuff in the gym on Tuesday and didn't have any issue with the slippers staying on. I guess they just fit my feet. They are quite soft, but I knew that going in to it. I also discovered that they absolutely wouldn't work for crack climbing, but I hope no one would buy them for that either. The Prima Slippers will work for what I want them for. A nice, sticky slipper for bouldering and gym climbing.
Anyone have experience with stretch in the Prima Lace up?
Thanks!
