Ti - you can't begin to compare anasazis to moccasyms. La Sportiva Cobras, those purple Scarpas (Vortex?) or the Boreal Ninjas are a better comparison. They will stretch and keep on stretching for as long as you own them. Anasazis will mould to your foot but they don't give much, if at all - that's the way they're designed. Mocs are designed to stretch to fit with a brief but painful break in. I know a bloke with three pairs of mocs - one that's new for bouldering, one that's midlife for trad and a old pair that he wears with socks for winter climbing - they're all the same size.
