What’s similar to 5.10 VMiles?

I had a pair of 5.10 VMiles which were stolen last weekend in Vegas. (Actually all my climbing gear was stolen.) I tend to climb longer trad routes and loved the VMiles. They were easy to put on and take off; could hike short approaches or decents in comfort; and could accomplish a wide variety of climbing with precision and comfort. I’ve climbed with Anasazi VCS’s and Mocs in the gym.

Any recommendations would be extremely helpful since the VMiles are no longer available.

Wonder if your gear could have ended up here:

or here:

Seriously? WTF? First they got rid of the Ascents (which I still use and love), replaced them with the VMiles, and now they're discountinuing those? That's lame. I'm also curious to see if there's a replacement. Did you holler at FiveTen and inquire?

Thank you FrankPS! I had forgotten there was a lost and found forum. The first link was a post to my gear! I'm unbelievably grateful.

I'm all about happy endings. Glad it worked out for you, Jon.

I'd still like to know if anyone has an idea for a similar shoe to the vmile.
I've asked 5.10 and they aren't offering a replacement at the moment.

five ten still has a size 5, and 7.5 in stock for 90 on their website...this probably doesnt help anybody, but just thought i'd throw it out there in case it does!

5.10 vmiles were my favorite shoes for quite some time until I found something that fit my foot even better. I have several pairs 9.5-10 sitting in my closet including a brand new size 10. I will sell if you want them.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
