Not a huge crisis and I called Yakima customer service and they file a ticket citing this issue. Even if lasts only a few months still would be worth it. Its been one day. So keep that in mind if youre like me and the stinch of your feet could knock someone unconscious. They run a bit small. They look good, are very comfortable (my feet are very sensitive and have issues so it?s been really hard to find comfortable waterproof slides), but after one day on the beach, I noticed tiny little spots/stains that weren?t cleaning off (I thought it was just sand/dust). They are amazing with the built in mic. My handlebars are big and wide,and this just fit. This isnt a problem for me, but depending on your work space, it might be an inconvenience. I would think that people with a higher arch / taller foot might need to go up a size but my little foot fits perfectly in my usual size.
