The 7s fit with optimum tightness straight away so I am a bit concerned that they will stretch, however people keep saying they fit smaller so maybe they will be okay.

Just wear two pairs of socks if they bag out...

As per Ru's comments re the Quantum - I have also bougght a pair and for my narrow feet the heels are a particularly good fit - better than Dragons for example. If they were a bit stiffer and had some tackier rubber (am I the only person who doesn't really get on with the Onyx version of Stealth?) they would be spot on

[boulderingbacon]

so they need better rubber and be stiffer does that not make them a bit

(am I the only person who doesn't really get on with the Onyx version of Stealth?)

it seems a tad harder and less 'predictable and feely' than C4 in my opinion.

[DaveyDave]

Punter me to your heart's content, but I reckon the Mystique on my teams can stick to things better than the C4 or Onyxx shoes I've got...

horses for courses etc...

Hmmm... renaming of the Blackwing? New version of the Team? Ladies and gentlemen, I present the Black.

[dave]

They'd look awesome with white rubber.

[Drew]

Ala white wall tyres?

[dave]

Aye. I'm still on the lookout for a pair of those boreal indos from the late '90s with pale grey rubber.

[Nibile]

So what's the difference from the Team apart from a horrible - in my opinion - choice of colours?

[Moo]

it's the new team I think they've relaxed the fit a little bit

[RobinB]

I've been wearing a pair of Blackwings for a couple of months and quite like them for steep stuff and indoor walls. They seem to be slightly narrower and the toes are more pointy than Dragons, and fit my (narrow) feet quite well

I was thinking of buying another pair before they are (inevitably) discontinued - has anybody tried the women's version and be able to comment on how they compare with the men's version - I assume they will be even narrower and lower volume?

[Jack.G]

Was going to replace my Arrowheads but considering a change to Blackwings, any ideas on the size difference if any. I believe 510 advise a full size up?

[thrashhard]

I was a normal Streetshoe size in Arrowheads and would go with the same for teams. Uk 8 Street Uk 8 in arrowheads
In blancos, vcs and verdes i need to downsize to a UK 6,5.
