Title: Mystery 5.10 kicks
Post by: chillax on February 12, 2010, 04:48:59 pm: Anyone have a name for these? I've seen a few people wearing them and they seem quite good. Discontinued 5.10 line?

Quite a stiff boot if I remember rightly? Weird split down the center of the heel.

They weren't a replacement for the newtons. They replaced the former fibreglass midsoled "Mesa's" and were in production for longer than a year, possibly 3-4years. They are super stiff, great edging boot.....still the choice of many devotees.

Bugger... I think I am going senile! I knew that, I just said Newtons instead!
