Had a pair of Katana Velcros which I was very happy with until they got stolen... After trying some different shoes in the meantime, I decided to plump for another pair of Katana Velcros, which I bought in the exact same size. I think the design may have changed somewhat in the meantime, and the new shoes feel very different to how I remember the old ones. To help decide with whether I should persist with breaking the new ones in, does anyone have any specifics/experience with how the shoes might have changed between versions? Thanks in advance

I've used Katana Velcros since they were introduced back in 2002/03... the latest incarnation (2024) has La Sportiva's P3 patented system whatever that is but once broken in I don't think I can tell any difference although I did go up half a continental size...

That makes some sense - Ive got some quite painful lumps on my heels it might be putting more pressure into than before

The last is definitely narrower.  They used to be perfect for me...now I've got to find something else
