5.10 Dragons

Anyone know when they're out? I seem to recall either November or March 07 being release dates for distribution to ol' Britannia although that could just be my feeble brain making things up.

K i'll answer my own question ... They're out! And yes i've already got a pair! Gotta say they're mint, and very much like the old dragons. Infact they're pretty much exactly the same bar the laces - same last, same width, heel, fit, feel etc etc. And here was me slagging 5.10 a few months ago, raving about Sportiva! *Cough* *Splutter* What was i thinking?! Five Ten you rock my world  :thumbsup:

Anyone any word about the new pinks? My sources tell me they're going to be green for a start and in addition to that they'll be sporting a super heel, the best Five Ten have ever made  :-\

Where can you get them Cuban?

Do they size the same as new style V10's?

Got them from Cotswolds where i used to work, the guys managed to get a few pairs in but only 1 of each size they could get hold of, think they've a 7, 7.5 and an 8 left, can give you the number if you want it. I've also heard Needlesports and Outside have a few pairs in and are the only other places that have stock.

Aye i think the fit's pretty similar to the V10's although the new ones don't really fit me so i couldn't give you an exact comparison. The ones i've just got are an 8.5 and i'm pretty sure my old dragons and old V10's were an 8. I think i'm an 8.5 in the newer V10's and i'm an 8.5 in the pinks too if that helps.

we've not got them at Outside at the moment so don't all rush (well not for Dragons anyway).

Not yet, need to try a pair on to judge size. Tyler raves about them, more so than V10's. So must be good.

Ah wasn't you then! Spoke to one of my mates at the shop and they said someone had just called after hearing from me that Cotswolds had some in stock and wanted to order a pair.

Yeah they're pretty awesome, a much snugger fit than the V10's but not a great deal of difference compared to the old Dragons.

You'll be on comission next ;-)

Did you see your yellow shorts on show in last months Climb? Was the only outing they had and made a full page spread!
