What happened to the new Five Ten shoes?

(in other words, rather than wanting to move into the climbing business, they hoped that sticky rubber could help adidas differentiate their normal shoe products from nike/puma/etc...). |

I haven't worn my Hiangles since buying the Quantums on Super Sale. I'm forced to buy more at this point. Too bad they don't discontinue a shoe AFTER the replacement option is out, so at least you'd know if you can move on or have to stock up. |

Grandstones are up on the website now! |
|
Anyone who's picked up a pair, report back with how quickly they fell apart. Apparently all new 5.10 shoes have a lifespan of about 4 weeks. |
|
I’ve had my Teams for about 2 months and they barely show any sign of wear at all even though I’ve been bouldering and leading in them 2-3 times a week and It’s pretty phenomenal. I know that soft rubber supposedly wears quicker but I’m finding the opposite to be the case. |

Can’t speak to the grandstones but idk why everyone loves to hate on 5.10 these days. I like how they fit and think they hold up as well as any la Sportiva shoe I’ve ever owned |

I dunno. I’ve never seen rubber wear through as quickly as on Miuras or Katanas, and people have been complaining about Solution straps breaking for years. Not to mention that infamous TC Pro rand delamination... |
|
Did they release only up to a 13 or did I already miss the 14/15 stock? |
|
I had more issues with LS shoes than Five Ten. Had a pair of Skwamas break at the strap and another pair rip in the heel cup. My Futuras delaminated almost instantly as well. Since they were an old model LS wouldn’t warranty them. The Skwama took almost a month. |
|
Anyone having issues with the new Tennies? I had three pairs before they got re-designed and they all delaminated very quickly once i climbed with them. I’m curious since i’ll be getting a new pair of approach shoes soon. |
|
I also have had way more quality problems with Sportiva than FiveTen. |
|
Anyone know sizing on Granndstones? |

Travis S wrote: I sent back two pairs of the Hiangle, because both suffered the same issue with the rand and sole separating from the toe box after a few weeks; like a full delamination. If you read through the reviews for the Hiangle, Aleon, and the new Dragon Lace/VCS, they all seem to suffer from the same QC issues with the toe box, stitching, and other issues.The old Blackwing (my favorite shoe) and the old Dragons were both bomber shoes that were indestructible. But, I’ve fully switched to LS after being a diehard 5.10 climber for a decade. I want 5.10 to be amazing again, but have little hope. |

Anyone successfully use the AAC promo code for Grandstones? |

Code works now again, Adidas IT fixed this AM after I called. |
