I wore the Verdons on my new route at High Tor and felt massively uncomfortable / terrified using an outside edge on the runout on the first pitch but they were wonderful on the pocketed second pitch. With hindsight I should have started with whites and had a tyre change at the belay.

'We've changed the way it climbs by putting in a thermo plastic insole but we retained its shitest feature, the heel'

Way to go 5:10!

Interesting. I wonder if they thought that the rapturous white devotees would pay anything asked for the mythical whites. I guess that thermoplastic midsole should help the dreaded "second month" squidginess that the old ones suffered from...at the cost of sensitivity wonder? Clogs anyone?

[galpinos]

Clogs anyone?

That's a tough crown to wrestle from the Instinct VS!

The bits of the Verdon they've used (i.e. the tongue) I dislike immensely.

I've never had Instinct VS...are they more clog like than the Magos?  They're awesome on tiny edges but require a level of "trust"...

[Paul B]

I'd say it depends on your bodyweight, they feel amazing to me until they don't, suddenly. I'm tempted by the XS grip versions (blue).

[Duncan campbell]

Annoyed they've put that plastic mid-sole in as IMO a well broken in pair of whites are killer on the Grit...

Slick promo of the new Whites from Ste Mac and Shark productions:

I was gifted not one but TWO pairs of Whites yesterday; one well broken in of '09 vintage, another of unknown vintage which retain a slight stiffness. 

I still hate my Verdons.

Liking mine.

Liking mine.

Size in latest Whites and in Verdons? I may have just got it wrong but the knuckle at the front seems huge.

  #130 fuck. that. shit.

[Doylo]

Shark will only buy 4 pairs at that price.

Sadly enough, all top-notch shoes now cost a fortune.

[horn]

#130 fuck. that. shit.

No doubt due to the drop in the pound. But quit complaining "it's the will of the people" or some shit

[shark]

Shark will only buy 4 pairs at that price.

I'm still waiting for them to make me a Brand Ambassador

Surely working for the BMC come with all sorts of "pro-deal" benefits?

Pah - Five ten better put me on payroll otherwise I'm suing for mental distress for the anguish they've put me through. If the new model comes short of expectations I'm doubling my claim

[petejh]

It says something about your redpointing tactics that in the time you've been seiging one 8b route, 5.10 have released three models of anasazi..

Are they being ghost manufactured by Arcteryx?

I wonder if this could be some new measure of sieging? A proper redpoint doesn't start until you hit the 1 anasazi-release mark, and things only start to get serious at 2+. If you make it to 5 perhaps it's time to take up golf.

[siderunner]

  I'm just happy they're back.

Can anyone confirm the sizing is unchanged? I'll be mail ordering from Oz and the postage is bad enough one way ...
