Technical shoe for flippers!

If your feet are narrow and low volume, these shoes will serve you better than any other. My feet are super narrow but about 11.5/12 length, but also quite flat and low volume. You know, like flippers. Tenayas in general fit my foot type better than any other brand. I spent 3 years trying different brands and models and could never find something that was both technical and comfortable. Once I tried on Tenayas about 8 years ago, I haven?t looked back. I didn?t think they could get better until they put this model out. I?m on my third pair and cycle in between the Mundaka and Iati. They are soft and sensitive- especially if you have larger feet, but I feel more secure heel hooking in these than any other shoe by far. Edging is a bit harder, but you can feel more- so it?s a trade off. It?s worth it for the comfort and overall technical prowess of this shoe. If you have flippers, you should snag a pair. I?m just slightly smaller than a 12 in street shoes, and I wear a 10.5 in Oasi LV. They typically have a 2 session break in period where they?re a bit snug at first then hug my feet perfectly when broken in. You?ll thank me for this review my freakish, flipper-footed friends!

Beware, Mens Sizing
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
On this site I found out that these shoes are in men's sizing. Additionally, they run large. I'm a women so I downsize 2 sizes to get the shoe I actually need. So for me, my street shoe is 5.5 womens, so I buy a 3.5mens for a snug fit. (3.5mens =4.5 womens). I accidentally bought a 4.5 mens which = a 5.5 womens, thinking it was a women's 4.5 and had to return them because they are too big, even with socks. (there is a gap in the heel). I wish they would put the mens and womens sizing equivalents next to each other for maximum clarity on what you are getting. (amazon does this) Or add the EU or UK sizing. Oasi's are awesome and are great once you get the sizing right. Sidenote: You would think that "A new version of the Oasi specifically adapted to the anatomy of the female foot." (Tenaya website) would be in womens sizing, but the patriarchy wins again. Haha.
