This Kamik Boots seems to me a bit stiffer than before z. B. the coaster2. The real problem, however, is another: the Velcro in the central portion is not deflected by a metal eyelet (as coaster2, TickleEU2, etc.), but led directly to the other side. The fact that the band also is still elastic, it stretches too much and does not thus on the hook on the other side. Its function - namely, adjustment of range in clamping / ankle area - does not fulfill the Velcro.
