I am massively impressed/happy with the 5.10 5X's I bought online from bananafingers. Definitely worth a look as they are comfortable, soft and with a great heel suited to the steep stuff as well as the all day circuiting comfort/routes. (I take them off for my solutions occasionaly if I need something a bit more toe down in the cave..etc)Check them out as an option, far better than the old 5.10 velcros I had.
I'm a dirty little vegan.
I checked out the 5x, sadly they are leather
I am completely confused by what you mean Dave ???
Amazing Dave, i never thought of it like that before, would you also say that pork pies and scratchings are biproducts of the chop industry?! This opens up whole new product areas to vegans...
Seems an appropriate thread to ask for a headsup. If anyone knows of any stores that have any remaining pairs of 10.5 V10's, I'd be grateful to hear. Found one place locally but will buy all the pairs I can find. Can't envisage a climbing career without them!
Reason I love 5.10s (apart from the veggie thing which is also important to me) is that cos they are synthetic you can chuck them in the washing machine once they get too smelly and rank and get a new pair of shoes the next day. It really does work! you can't do that with any leather shoe...

I'd hate to see 70 sheets worth of boots to get f*cked up so never dared try...Whilst they may be vegan friendly, the 5.10 non leather does get ultra wiffy quicker than leather..
