I do quite often take them of at the belays and regularly think "shit, if I drop down this 300m route this it's going to ruin my day".
5.10 5X's are amazing and comfortable

Try some Boreal Jokers for siez (velcro or lace).
Don't you multi-pitch wallah's put a stretchy anke-band through the pull-on loops to keep shoes on the ankle, when off the foot, and not 200 foot down the route?
