What happened to the new Five Ten shoes?

They're way cheaper on BananaFingers even with 1 day shipping. Bought some and they should be here Monday. |

Yeah, but weirdly pointy at the big toe. Any ideas about sizing? |

Climbing tested them, recommended 1/2 down from street |
|
When are the grandstones coming? My feet are too fat for TC Pros |
|
Hoping these are basically a better-heeled Skwama, which from the sound if it is what they should be- wider, split midsole, sticky rubber, marginally stiff forefoot (compared to Dragons, Teams, Pythons, etc). Should have mine tomorrow, sized 1/2 down from street just like the Hiangles. |

What happened to Five Ten shoes is they are no longer Five Ten. All the original owners of 5.10 left because Adidas tried to relocate them to Spain. all the people from 5.10 decided to leave at start a new company called unparallel sports. So if you have loyalty to to 5.10 you should switch to unparallel. They have virtually the exact same shoes available juts with different names. They even have the same rubber because they never patented it. If you want hiangles just get the reguluses. They are the exact same shoe, I actually like mine better than my old hiangles. Basically 5.10 is having "manufacturing issues" because Adidas doesn't know shoes know climbing shoes now that the pros have left. |

We're halfway through the year and yet the Grandstones are still nowhere to be found. What gives Five Ten?!? I'm relying on those shoes in order to climb 5.12. What's the holdup?! |
