In reply to dh4096:
I've had had numerous pairs of the old model, and when I switched to the new was advised by somebody else to go half a size down as they reckoned newer model is a bit bigger. Anyone else been told the same?
I ignored them and stayed at the same size as they felt plenty tight to me when fresh out the box, but they do seem to stretch a bit more than the old ones. However I'm not averse to that, they're designed to be a pretty comfy all rounder shoe anyway.
New model seems fine , I think the velcro fastening works a little better.
