Hi guys,
I ordered some of these a few weeks ago but I am getting fed up of waiting for them, Chainreaction keep saying due in xx/xx/07 but when that days comes it ends up being 5-10 days.
Can anyone suggest a shoes as good/better etc or is it a case of worth waiting for them?

It's worth waiting for them, if you ride flat pedals then 5:10s are the best shoe to get in my opinion.
I think Marzocchi make similarish shoes with the grippy rubber soles too but I'm not sure how they compare.Dave S0 -
Cool, I have just ditched SPD's due to ankle ligament trouble and gone for V12's. Looks like i will wait then.____________

They're the best shoes ive ever had. The marzocchi shoes are basically rebranded 5.10's the soles are the same, or they were when they first came out."This is ******!, We can't ride out bikes in the dirt like this!"0

Shoes are amazing!
Only difference I really noticed with SPD's was the fact I couldnt pull the pedals on uphills.____________

What is the sizing like as far as you can establish - ie: does a size 9 shoe feel like a size 9 shoe in other shoes - I only ask because just checked my Shimano spd shoes and they are a size 12, which obviously fit - when every other shoe I own is a 9-10! I know people say that the Shimano are often 'small' for the size - just wondered if these were the same. Trawled all the local shops and no one stocks them, so will have to be an internet punt.0

I am a size 11 and I got size 11 five tens and they fit great and are really comfy!
Some reviews said they were on the small side so i almost went for 11.5 but thought that it may just be a breaking in period so went for 11.____________

5-10s are awesome shoes for mountain biking, they blow away any skate,bmx or riding shoe i have used over the years
I have the Sam Hill model as i could not get the black High Impact 2 for months....
however, I would not recommend 5-10s for slopestyle or dirt jumping as its hard to slip the pedals for tricks
I went to the airdome in Whistler last week and wore my DC skate shoes as I was finding it hard on the trails in the Bike Park to slip my feet for tricks :shock:
if you are riding gnarly, rocks, rooty trails then the 5-10s will help keep your feet in placecheck out my riding - www.robcole.co.uk Banshee Factory Team rider, Da Kine UK Team rider, www.freeborn.co.uk www.eshershore.com0
