Each toe sits through its own opening rather than disappearing inside a closed forefoot, allowing greater separation and natural spreading while helping the foot glove stay closely connected during movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the foot, a flexible \u003cstrong\u003enylon-spandex upper\u003c\/strong\u003e stretches closely around the shape of the forefoot. There are no external elastic straps to interrupt the line; the stretch construction itself provides the secure, slip-on fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath, a \u003cstrong\u003esuede forefoot pad\u003c\/strong\u003e protects the high-friction turning area while creating a useful balance between grip and glide.
