I had 3 people wanting to try mine on at the wall last night. Seems like everyone has seen this deal.

hi my name's steven and i'm a shoe hoarder.

in bag
1x dragons
1x large v10s for comfy downtoe shiz (only come out in blue moon)
1x tight v10s for extreme pain (may only come out in 'one last go' moments)
1x comfy tight v10 toe rubber down to rand
1x anasazi blue slippers should be wall shoes but have been neglected
1x evolv punters, general allrounder

in garage
2/3 pairs of blown blue slippers

the 5.10 projects look tempting, a replacement for the jet7s that "replaced" the v10s?

 :-\

Yeah, why not?

I bought a pair of these but I’m not too sure about the size either! I got the 42 euro’s which I think is about an 8. After a while trying to squeeze them onto my feet I got them on but standing does hurt my toes. Do they stretch much or would it be worth getting the 43’s? If they break in I’ll persevere, but I don’t want to trade them in for a smaller size to find they stretch out and get too big?

By the by – despite the super tight fit the heel does feel a bit baggy still.

Let’s hope they put the 5.10 dragon’s on for £35 sometime soon too!

i received my pair in a 42 (uk 8), and i found them a lot easier to get on than the 40.5 but not much different in the toe box, the heel has a bit of breathing space but will not come off for any thing ill be attempting soon, ive only been used to wearing evolv defys which are really comfy and a all round shoe so the stix are gonna take some getting used to, i had a climb in them yesterday and they are ok once the shoe warms up, they must stretch a bit while warm cos if i take them off for a bit then put them on again they feel really tight, think they will stretch out a bit in time tho  :)

I think they feel too tight. Infact I don't think scarpas fit my feet very well because even though they are well tight there's still space in them!  :-\

sticking with the 5.10's from now on!

Used them at Malham today, and mighty impressive they felt. Sensitive and suportive, yet comfy as well. Time to order another few pairs I think.

Not really impressed with rock and run. Placed my order and sent them an email straight after with a query concerning holding them for a week or so (as im still living in spain and am returning home end of june) incase someone returns or cancels an order for a smaller size as there site was having problems and when i tried later my size was sold. Didn't get a reply just an automated email 2 days later saying they were dispatched. After ringing them up they just said we dispatched them nothing they could do.. An email to say that would have been nice not an automated reply after they were dispatched?

on a plus they said i could return or exchange them if another set came in (and i would pay the postage for it). hmmm

Wait, you're complaining that you bought something over the internet and they sent it out to you TOO QUICKLY??

That is the first time I've ever seen that complaint. I'm tempted to wad you for having nanometrically precise expectations. But I won't.
