Bloody hell! Both my pairs of Instinct slippers lasted about a year. Improve footwork?
I love my Supemocc2's.. But they're hard to find nowadays..
My talons are nearly dead and Im looking to replace them with something a little softer.
...just got a pair of Sportiva pythons to try out, flippin mint. Though I have very narrow feet...

Sounds like we have similar shaped feet, I also have Talons, don't get on with the Pythons and Solutions fit me OK.The XSgrip2 rubber that the Instinct S/Python uses is going to wear down faster than the Evolv stuff, it's just a trade off you often have to make when selecting a softer shoe (yes I know much of the stiffness comes from the midsole, but still...). I've searched high and low for a decent slipper to fit my foot shape and the only shoe I found was the 5.10 Jet 7 but they don't make them any more. The 5.10 Moc would likely fit your foot width but it's quite stiff (out of the box at least) and the heel is pretty basic. Others might be able to let you know if they soften up a bit with use.http://www.bananafingers.co.uk/five-ten-moccasym-p-1404.htmlAlso, have you tried the 5.10 Team? I ditched mine because of the poor heel but they weren't too bad width wise (quite tight though) but they are quite soft, perhaps softer than you'll want.Might be worth looking at a Velcro shoe if you don't find anything? There's not really much difference between them and a slipper, especially as many of the slippers have Velcro straps nowadays!
WHat do the speedsters and futuras smear like?

WHat do the speedsters and futuras smear like? from previous sportiva (miura vs/katana and solutions) those havent smeared well or broken in that flexible
My god! Scarpa seem to have hired who ever designs the fucking ugly Boreal boots to do that new Instinct Slipper. Minging.
