5.10 = always try them on.
I'm not sure why they bother putting sizes in their shoes, they are meaningless

5:10 sizes aren't meant to be taken literally. they might as well just call them "small2, "medium" and "large".

Says the last is pretty simular to the dragon, but as stated above, its 5.10 so your guess is as good as mine  ;D

tried these on this afternoon.
Baggy heels, straps for pulling the things on were very thin and I thought I might snap them getting them on, hard to get on, very small in size, 8.5 = velcro 7. They do look the shit tho.
Why would you buy these when you can get a dragon - easier to get on and a decent heel

Going to hold of these until I get multiple feedback!

Would you say the heels are more similar to those on the Jet 7's than the Dragons?

why don't you try some on?
I think the only reason for buying these over dragons would be for looks alone IMHO

Baggy heels,
Mine fit perfectly tightly

seemed normal to me.

Yep, but my size was 7 = 7

Don't wait Crouch, get stuck in. They are a V10 that doesn't bag - and you can take that to the bank....

Its a marketing ploy to discourage internet buying and ebay sales. They turn pink into green and then white to distract from the main diffrence - the price tag. Say it louder - "Shoe me the money".

No - I'm not a boot tart. I'm still not quite over dumping boreal fires for anastazis.

I get on with both Sportiva and 5.10 and in the last 5/10 years have only noticed about 10 quid rise in 5.10 from around 70>80 which I accept, but a rise of 30 quid for Sportiva. Which is a fooking ripper.

See here, like.

How on earth are you all sizing these the same as the dragon? I'm size 4.5 in dragons and the smallest pair of teams I could get in my feet were 5.5

they do feel excellent, though very hard to get on. I shall be getting a pair (and a shoe-wallah to put them on for me), when my dragons wear out

Just to confuse the issue, I'm 7.5 in Anasazi (there's no t motherfuckers!) Velcro, 9.5 in Dragons, and 8.5 in the Teams.  :shrug:

I tried on 2 pairs of 7.5 and they were exactly the same. 

Dare i say that Five Ten have made an excellent shoe? Yes I dare

Nice looking shoe! I heard a rumour that they're sacking the Dragons off, is this true anyone know?

makes business sense - why sell you a dragon when they can sell you shoe with rubber that'll probably last only half as long? I'd be scared to touch grit with these boots.

Ain't it the same rubber that's on the daescents?  I've been stomping around in mine for months now and my toes haven't reached the pavement yet.
