Prototype crack Unparallel climbing shoe

Well I couldn't find them on the website atleast. 

Is he no longer with Five Ten?

Hasn't been for about a year 

A Velcro crack climbing shoe???

Seems like your toes would be boiling on a warm day with that much rubber on the toes.

Ahh that's news to me, it seemed like they had just started faffing about with the (then) new five ten grandstones only a short while ago!

Anybody remember the (I think) Doug Thompston article in an early Ascent (late '60's, early 70's) where he "projected" climbing in ( 1984?? ) where climbers would carry a half dozen different shoe types and change them to optimize each particular move...while being belayed with a black box having "57(?) moving parts" .....

Are we there yet?

I do that quite often when bouldering and have no idea what I'm going to find, as do most pro's when doing hard stuff. 

Ask Unparallel, I ask them earlier this year via Instagram what kind of shoes he was rocking in one of their posts.  They responded with “prototypes”.   That was February, maybe they are getting closer to a production crack shoe.

FWIW Yosemite bum resole will put a “super rand” on your shoes with a similar look. I did it on some Mocs that are beaters to test it out. The sole they put on was too thick though so they’re not as good of a thin crack shoe now but it does help with thin hands where my toe knuckles often get a beating.
