I've also got a mate who has fixed 4 pairs of mine that have snapped with a more durable (snazzy red) webbing!

On the other hand I have owned 10 pairs of futuras (same closure system) and never snapped the webbing, though one pair was looking worryingly worn before it was replaced. Looks like the new (2019) solutions have more substantial webbing anyway?

I tried a pair and they seem to have more volume than the older ones (which are on sale) and the upper seemed quite baggy by comparison. Could have just been me.

They are all handmade so I wouldn't be surprised if another pair felt completely different! I generally go to a place with a few solutions in each size to find the best fit.

Sadly in Aberdeen that's not an option.

Original Scarpa furia size 6.5 selling for £75 on ebay.
Sadly they're too small for me to consider buying but not a bad deal? ;)

Actually they cocked it all up. I tried on another pair, the older model, and felt a bit baggy, plus had the less secure looking closure. The only one they had on display was the newer model, with the better closure and a great fit. Took it to till and they tried to charge me full price. Seems they had put the wrong model on display, were a bit sniffy about it, but couldn't argue as it had the "Sale" tag still hanging off it. So got a pair of the newer model shoes for £93.

No more 5:10 Anasazi vcs!!

Does anyone know where I can get some uk9.5 of the velco vcs, I don't seem to be able to find a pair anywhere?

Have they been discontinued or is it temporary shortage?

So now on top of Brexit anxiety, I am faced with having to think about which replacement shoe to buy. These have been my go to shoe for so long, the sizing is just right and they will work on pretty much everything I want to climb.  I basically have always had two pairs, the newest pair for bouldering and harder sport/trad, and an older pair for trad and multipitch sport, which worked great.

I am even struggling to find a pair of the of the newer pro's!

Any suggestions of potential outlets or replacement shoes, would be much appreciated.

Maybe the unparallel uprise vcs?

https://www.unparallelsports.com/product-category/climbing/

Thanks they might be worth a look, has anyone got any experience of their sizing and durability vs the 5:10's?

Have the 5:10 vcs been discontinued? 

Unfortunately looks like they currently do not ship outside US or Canada :(

Cool thanks, as these are a break away from 5:10 I presume the sizing the same?

I asked him today and he said the same as 5.10.

Have the 5:10 vcs been discontinued? 

I’m told that there’s a delay in imports of all 5.10 climbing shoes to Europe. None ‘til June apparently. That something like that can happen is surely a sign of how little Adidas care about our side of their business though. I’m certainly going to investigate the UP shoes when I need new ones. The shoes they make called “Lace” sound intriguingly like a Whites equivalent.
