High-Performance Velcro That'll Fit my Foot

Any recommendations on a velcro that'll fit my foot (based on the following description)? Moderately narrow size 10-10.5. 2nd toe longer than big toe by like 3mm or so. Shallow heel. I'm looking for a relatively high-performance velcro for sport/bouldering that won't absolutely kill my 2nd toe like so many of them do (Anasazis, Evolv Kaos, MR Flash). I've tried on Katanas in the store and liked them better than the Anasazis. I have a pair of Kaos right now that I haven't used, but I think I'm gonna send them back cuz they just hurt too much as I've been trying them on at home. I've been thinking about the Zealots b/c they're more symmetrical. Any other recommendations?

Colin

P.S.- My current shoe is a Spire in a 10.5.

I've got the about the same foot as you and I just picked up the Zealots and I just love them they're great, plus as a bonus they are on sale at the REI in Saratoga for like $65-70.

Anybody else?

Interestingly enough, Montrail designs shoes specifically with your toe condition ("Morten's Toe") in mind. I can't wear the Zealot, because it kills my wide-ass foot, but I hereby recommend you check it out. :wink:

I found the heel on the Zealots to be even baggier than the anasazi velcros. So make sure to check if the heel fits your foot or not.
