How the Remora HV fits
Size down half a size. The Remora is one of only two Mad Rock models with a sizing exception: every fit tier sits half a size below the rest of the line (performance = measured size - 0.5, snug = measured size, comfort + 0.5). Mad Rock attributes this to the slipper's construction and stretch. Mad Rock sizes close to US street size. HV version for wider feet and higher insteps.
Fit profile: wide width, high forefoot volume, wide heel, suits greek and roman toe shapes.
Expect roughly half a size of stretch; minimal break-in.
