But the uppers (esp toe area) felt rather stretchy and wondered whether this was an issue with these?
QuoteBut the uppers (esp toe area) felt rather stretchy and wondered whether this was an issue with these?The extra volume is to allow your toes to fully knuckle up. Sounds like you either you have narrow/ low volume feet, or you aren't going small enough and the toes are still extended. Velcros are better for those with wide feet, the lace-ups are better for those with narrow. Most folk I know tend to one or the other depending on foot shape. I don't know anyone who regularly uses both, though the I believe the new green lace-ups are slightly higher volume than the new whites, which are similar to the old pinks.
making the straps too stiff so they always come undone.
I'll be in a size 0 when I'm 53
rock climbing will generally do it.
Thanks for all the info everyone. Just got a pair (which were just in apparently...) and a couple of bits of info that might be relavent to people that posted here..First, the velcro has a label saying snip and heat seal once snipped... so looks like thats changed back,and thanks very much for the advice about 5.10's shonky production control.Me & the chap in the shop could not tell the difference between a 7.5 and an 8 when lined up next to each other.. the 7.5 felt snugger but on the outside they looked identical - so good advice to try a few of the identical/similar size on! Cheers all,T
