- 5.10 Grandstones, size 8.5
- Purchased: Thursday, November 25, 2010
I bought these (at the Five Ten outlet in Redlands, as usual) in the hopes that
they would be a good replacement for my third and presumably last pair of aging
Ascents, which Five Ten stopped making several years ago. I may have bought
them too tight, because they've never felt as comfortable as they are supposed
to be. (They were designed with long routes in mind, and the reviews I've read
are all positive in that regard.) They also are the least sensitive pair of
shoes I've ever owned, so I haven't worn them much on routes where I think I'm
going to need something that will perform well.
