Flat Pedals and 5-10 Shoes

I'm switching to flats for a while soon and wanted some opinions. I had a ride on a mates bike t'other day, he had v12's on and i couldn't believe how grippy they felt. Anyway, the Welgo copies, can i expect as much grip? Or are they just censored copies with unadjustable studs?
Also thinking of buying some 5-10 shoes to use with the flats after hearing a lot about how good they are. Anyone know how they size up? I normally wear size 9 trainers, but sometimes have to go up to a 10 with some brands. I will be buying online, so i won't be able to try them on beforehand, and it's a bit of a pain having to send stuff back.
Cheers

you will get the same grip but i preser the shape and size of the Slim Jims as i have size 9s and the V8 are too small.

Really impressed with my Kona Wah Wah's, super grippy, very durable, still spinning smooth after 9 months of abuse and no maintenance.

As said above, sizing on 5-10's is normal - just order the size you would do usually.

To customise the feel, have a look on ebay for stainless grub scews, or whatever type your pedals take. You can get more of a choice of lengths than the manufacturer's spares.
Bad thing for me about V12's is that the pins get damaged so you can't get an allen key in, then they tend to crumble when you try to get them out, and they seem to be too hard to drill out.
