Itīs not you. No one i know ever said that whites fit well. Maybe they are great for edging and stuff but everyone iīve ever talked to says the heel is ass and the fit is awful.

One thing I've never understood about scarpas is how so many people can wear them without their achilles tendon dying. I really like the feel of the toe box but can't even try them on in the shop without my achilles aching for several hours afterwards.
True dat, but the wife is the same as me.

Everyone can stop panicking now. I've just taken delivery of a pair of Arrowheads. I bought online but having tried on velcros and other 5.10s. The sizing on the arrowheads is definitely more aggressive than the regular velcros isn't it. I presume they're going to give a little? I was a bit dismayed at first but they felt better at second attempt.
can you compare them in stiffness to any of the other 5.10s on the shelves?
I'm currently fondling a pair of the new Pinks. They look really good.

Is the fit closer to the verdes/whites or the VCS? If it's the first I might just have my perfect shoe.
