You could always just use scarpas.
Seeing as FiveTen seem uninterested in pleas to keep making the whites.......
You're one model too late,the Whites were a poor replacement for the T-Rocks
Are there no alternatives to the whites? Surely with all the brands in the UK now we should be over run with options?!
Forgive me for not getting excited just yet.

Got talking with the local who admitted he had a pair in his truck and then helpfully took me out. Initial impression was that they have more volume, which worried me. felt stiffer - said they felt that way. That also worried me.

They also felt stiffer than the original - and the rep said they felt that way on the rock. That also worried me as I don't fancy a "front-pointing" shoe like the TC Pro's. He did emphasise that they are still prototypes.
I have been wearing the Verdons (designed for pockets) recently which have the same thermoplastic sole piece as the prototypes which does make it stiff but probably at the expense of feel. Another trade-off is that the sole piece means they arent meant to bag-out as quickly.

Do you think you'll be wearing them at Malham, I considered a pair but not heard enough about them to risk getting a pair instead of Muira VS (obviously the ones I really want them to relaunch are the T-Rocks)
Tom Randall wore a Verdon on one foot and a White on the other when he did First Round at Ilam Rock as he reckoned the White was better for outside edging and the Verdon better for inside edging (at least I think it was that way round). For a man of your means and discernment looking to get an 'edge' it is worth getting a pair for pocketed climbing or other awkward-to-get-your-toe-in footholds. The Winklepickers of the range.
