Available is the Ascan Superdry in sizes from 37/38 to 47/48 for 69.90 euros. The material of the shoe is very flexible. Slipping on is effortless and thanks to the plush inner lining, you can slip in almost without resistance. The fit of the Ascan Superdry is rather generous and suits normal to wide feet better, less well for very narrow feet. The Velcro is sewn far back on the inside. This means that it doesn't get in the way when you step into the foot loops, even if you have adjusted them large and want to slide your foot in far. However, the shoe cannot be pulled perfectly tight with this Velcro on the instep.
The six-millimetre-thick neoprene combined with the warm plush, which extends to the front of the toe area, ensures very warm feet. Even in arctic water temperatures below four degrees, the Superdry has not yet reached its temperature limit. What's more, thanks to the cosy neoprene cuff and sealed seams, hardly any water gets into the shoes. Wearing comfort is also at a very high level. The pleasantly soft sole provides excellent contact with the board.
Ascan Superdry - the test conclusion:
The Ascan Superdry impresses all water sports enthusiasts who want to get out on the water even on very cold days with temperatures below five degrees Celsius with its high level of comfort and excellent thermal insulation. The only problem is that the fit is not ideal for narrow feet, in which case the shoe appears somewhat indirect. The price of 69.90 euros seems absolutely fair in view of the features. The Ascan Superdry is available at Online surf shop available .
