5.10 Arrowheads, Quantums and Hornets are down to £75 at Outside

http://www.outside.co.uk/shop/brand/Five%20Ten

Shame they're all too narrow for me, in fact I've got a pair of Arrowheads that I can't envisage ever breaking in, think they're a size 9, only been worn a handful of times. £45 if anyone wants them message me!

not running, freerunning! although it also says

Guess that's why they are a nice red colour, in case you get gored so the blood won't show.

Whats the sizing like on Evolv's Geshido?
I need a new pair of shoes to warm up in and these are going for £50 on R&R.

Ive read someone on this thread saying Bransby recommends sizing up one from your street shoe size, but a review on R&R says to size down one from street shoe size  :blink:

Can anyone owing a pair please give me thier thougths please?

Just got a pair of these to use as an indoor shoe. I went half a size down and they are tight but not too bad. Street shoe size would be quite comfortable.

It seemed strange indeed, that Crouch didn't have a pair of these also.

Hmm, this might explain why i gave up on evolv shoes. I could wear pontas 1.5 sizes down (as i do for anasazi, vapour) but tried on some geshidos and some others and could hardly get feet in. Thought they were just a weird shape! Oh well, scarpa = build quality, screw those americans.

Thanks for that Weak Dave...

I've got FAT hobbit feet and have never got on with La Sportivas, however I see CragX are offering the Pythons (in my size) for a few fuck alls (£66.50)... Are these similar in style to other La Sportivas i.e. narrow fit?

I get on well with 5.10 moccs and dragons but am always on the look out for cheap shoes...

I've been told the same by gaz in v12 beris. Shocking eh! Wonder if they plan to replace it with another 1mm thick soled super soft bendy shoe?

They are bringing out a more floppy version and pretending it's the pink anasazi aren't they?

Cheers for the warning. Confusingly their website is showing full stock in all sizes though...
