Soft circuit shoe, 5.10 5X/Moc
December 01, 2012, 07:14:41 pm
After a pair of soft flat slippers shoes for training inside and easy circuits outside (ie I can get a sock underneath for when its cold out!) Thought about the 5.10 Moc however upon inspection I found the heel wasn't very good and I'd like a good heel for training.

The solution would be the 5X, however can't find them anywhere! Has 5.10 stopped making them? Anybody know where I can get a pair in 6.5? Or have any alternatives!

The 5xs have the Anasazi heel don't they? I find the Mocasym heel better than the Anasazi one myself.

banana fingers are stocking supermoc's, did consider them but never seen a pair. I rather like the anasazi heel, hence I was considering he 5X!

Yep, 5.10 have decided to discontinue the 5X which is a damn shame cuz its (was) an amazing shoe. Its the same for the supermoccs too so we cant order any more in of either now. Weve run out of 5X but we still have a few pairs of Supermoccs left but when they run out that will be it.

Sportiva pythons would fit your criteria

thanks BF, how do the supermoc's compare to the regular ones?

And I've had a pair of pythons, loved them but bit pointless buying a downturned pair of shoes that I want to by primarily a circuit shoe. if I ere to get a show just for indoors I'd consider the Instinct slippers next time.

Theres one less pair of Supermoccs now ;)  (decided to get a pair for the shoe bank if 5.10 are no longer shipping them)

Been a while since i tried em on but i believe the sizing is the same.

I don't understand what the disadvantage of having the pythons would be, they're not that downturned and you can always size up for getting socks under.

Like you say, the instincts would be ok but they're not that different to the pythons and have a worse heel (the heel pops very easily). The La Sportiva Cobras would probably be a good choice. Some of the French sites still sell them and they're cheap so would probably only be £75-80 with postage.

I find they are pretty good all round. As the right honourable gentleman states they are not that downturned.
