Where are the Hiangles?
September 15, 2017, 10:05:14 am
They're badly-made, turn your feet blue, and are somehow my favourite climbing shoe  :shrug:

I'm wondering if anyone's seen any Hiangles available in a UK8? I'm guessing it could be a supply issue - the kind of basic stuff that 5.10 seem to struggle with.

Ideally they'd be the new model that doesn't give the smurf effect, but beggers can't be choosers.

Cheers in advance,

Chris.

I got some recently from EpicTV but it looks like they have sold out.  A quick google found these old style ones at a discount in size 8:

I believe in stock in your size?
https://www.theclimbingdepot.co.uk/shop/product/five-ten-hiangle-2017

I think someone I spoke to at the depot (nottingham) suggested they are coming out with a synthetic version which he suggested looked good so perhaps they are planning on shifting to synthetic only (speculation).

The synthetic ones are listed on the US Five Ten website- http://www.fiveten.com/us/climbing/aggressive

They do a synthetic Moccasym over there too. 8)

I thought all 5:10 shoes were non-leather (cowdura or whatever they call it)?

They are bringing out a synthetic Hiangle for next year but keeping the leather ones too. I suppose depending upon demand one model may go next year.

I thought the new, non-blue version had been out a while? I also really liked the old ones but build quality was, indeed, terrible

 I've got a pair of both old (turn your feet blue) and new. Just to add to the confusion the new pair are definitely bigger than my old pair 1/2 size up. Guess that's 5.10 for you.

Newer version arrived, not what I ordered but hey ho. Size 7 for a street 9, same as old velcros. First time on was a holy fuck moment but after a hot bath stretch they're spot on. Pretty impressed with the fit and feel and ordering a untried pair of boots online without the usual  :slap:
