Honestly, I love the shoe and it fits perfectly. It's a great all-rounder, and I thought that the nano strap wouldn't add anything, but I think it's a game changer for slippers.
Usually I don't do reviews, but I think this one lacks information for users who want to buy it. I came for the Vapor Lace and Vapor V, which I both use on size 41,5 (street shoe 43/43,5 or 27,5 cm foot length) for red point/on-sight attempts.
For this module to have a similar experience, I went for a 42, and out of the box the heel tension on the Achilles tendon is about to turn out to be too much, hurting a little even. Notice that they give a little, and enough to be the slipper that I ever wanted. I never felt that heel tension on other Vapor models.
I hope it helps you guys decide which size you want :)
