Defo try before you buy. I tried some today, uk8.5 in Anasazi vcs and v2s but couldnt get uk9.5 Teams on my feet at all and then the 10s were massive! Either a weird shoe or I have weird feet. Gutted cos they look like they will be sweet if you can get them on!!!

Have you tried Rock On at Redpoint? The next closest is probably V12 at Stoke.

I noticed that V12 have reduced the price of them. The staff said that they wouldn't sell as nobody could get their feet in them

I reckon a lot of people give up too easily in getting them on! I remember persevering for ~10 minutes with the use of carabiners in the pull loops, a stool for pushing the heel down and plenty of shake outs! Once they are a few sessions old, I found them fine to get on as the entry point stretched that little bit.

I agree it's a bit of a pain in the arse if you prefer to be able to just get a shoe on with ease and break it in without the hassle of biners in pull loops or plastic bags..etc You probably do need a low-med volume foot to squeeze into them without it becoming an epic.

They should have made the pull loops a little more robust (like on the dragons) as they are quite lightweight

Would you size them the same as the Dragons then? I might have just been too worried about destroying them in the shop and having to buy broken shoes!

Yeah I managed to get into an 8.5 (same size as dragons) but I know a couple of others who got them half a size up. You'd be best trying a few of the same size (if possible) due to 5.10's rarely accurate fit

Get a pair of Dragons instead? They're better in a lot of ways, especially if you can't get your feet into the teams!
