Thanks for your info, CompuDude. Now I really want to get the Slips. Unfortunately, it seems pretty hard to get hold of a pair of Size M in Hong Kong... (Only XL is available here for some reason.)

I don't know if all sizes are currently available. Last I looked, only XL and XXL were actually shipping.

ScubaToys carries SlipStreams, though, if those other sizes are shipping at this point, and they'll happily ship to HK.

You must have pretty small feet to want size M, though... or wear super thin booties. I have relatively small feet at size 9.5, and I wear XL easily.

Well, I'm an Asia girl at 5'2"...

I've checked ScubaToys... They only have XL and XXL and they say M and L will be avilable in a month... But apparently that message has been up there for over a month now...

Desperate for a pair of Size M Slips...

That message has been up for about a year. The M and L Slipstreams have been listed on the OMS site for about two years. They don't exist yet. The closest thing to Slipstreams I know about are the DiveRites, which come in a full range of sizes, with spring straps included. They're longer and narrower than the Slipstreams, but they're neutral in the water and work for all the non-silting kicks, backing up, and helicopter turns.
