hmmm don't look much like V10s either....

[Paul B]

hmmm those heels look a bit dodgy

they do look very flat but there's quite a lot of rubber slingshotting the heel, maybe that'll help them stay on. Unlike the projects.

[tobym]

They remind me of the old 5.10 (?)Rock Socks, at a glance

[ClimbingNarc]

I had a chance to fondle these shoes the other day.  Keep in mind that they are just prototypes, and the final version will not be out until Spring of 2010 so the final product is still up in the air.  That said, they reminded me a lot of the last version of the V10s.  The velcro strap is supposed to help the heal stay on better.  Should be interesting to see what the final product looks like.  I for one can't wait.

[Paul B]

Spring 2010... ouch

[erm]

Notice how the shoes are now blurred in the picture (here and on the blog). Maybe something we weren't all supposed to see?

Are the projects a waste of time then?? just deciding whether to get another pair of dragons or try something new

[Paul B]

I certainly wouldn't think of them as a replacement to my dragons if they wore out.

The projects are much softer, less down turned and the heel isn't as good as the dragons.

ah ok, they sound alot like the jet 7's 

[Paul B]

more like jet 7's than dragons thats for sure.

all climbing shoes' manufacturers repeat after me:
"heel must be entirely covered in rubber, heel must be entirely covered in rubber, heel must be entirely covered in rubber, heel must be entirely covered in rubber" ad infinitum until you learn.

Top right hand of shoes bit. Better view of supposed new v10 shoes.

Was chatting to someone from the official Five Ten page on Facebook and he pasted this from an email from Paul Robinson that he had..

"I find the shoe to fit very well these fit similar to the old v10, PERFECT! amazing! i totally think this is the best heel put on a 510 shoe. Very similiar to the v1o but very greatly improved."

He asked me to put this on here. Sounds good to me!

[Jaspersharpe]

So Five Ten say Five Ten shoes are brilliant. I'm sold.

Was in font over the weekend and the fella with the van at Rocher Aux Sabots had lots of V10, mainly small sizes thou. Worth a trip greasing off your favorite problem if your a fan of these babies.

Noticed a pair of v10's on ebay this morning. uk9.5. They are brand new by the looks of them.

Haha, this guy advertised them on UKC but then obviously released people would pay a premium for them and stopped replying to my emails. Jerk.

I just got a brand new pair of v10's on ebay for £31. I thought uk 7.5 might have been more popular!

[Adam Lincoln]

Seems Davey G is using them as his boot of choice too...

[Palomides]

Looks like five ten are following Scarpa, and Redchili in having a large patch of rubber on the toe.
