I don't wear them myself but a friend really rates them. He used to wear the regulus but switched over. He said they were pretty similar to the 5.10 quantums if you've tried them before?

Nope... Always been a Dragon fan. The Newtro lace looks quite similar to the Sirius but perhaps a bit narrower in the heel (good) and wider in the toe box (maybe bad?!) but I haven't seen them first-hand...

The purple quantum or the blue abomination with the same name?

They're really good for toeing in on small edges as they have a very precise toe box. Slightly stiffer than the Sirius and maintain their shape better. I wear the VCR version more which I think is a great shoe.

Cheers Dave. I think I prefer the idea of lace ups as they give more control over tighness over my narrow feet. What size are you in them? Bananafingers reckons go down to 8 from a 9 in sirius...
