Using my 5:10 basics last night and they are a different class to my shimano am40s in terms of grip and feel. Only trouble is that they are a touch flimsy!!
Options i have are buy some 5:10 freeriders for loads of cash or have some trainers resoled by the company in Chesterfield.
Who has had thsi done? what are good trainers to use? They must have some degree of robustness and not just suck up water like 5:10s do.
bump
I've not had it done (I don't even have any 5.10s), but they do have approved resolers in the UK...
i know that cheers (in the op)
Ive had a pair of goretex hiking boots resoled with 5 10 stealth rubber at the place in Chesterfield, used them for the last three winters and they have been as good as my 5 10s but keep my feet alot drier
The missus has a pair of the women specific 5:10s and a pair of Vans that were re-soled by Feet First with Stealth Rubber. She prefers the re-soled Vans as they aren't quite as 'clunky' and they dry out a lot quicker.
Vans are a good choice seemingly, as long as the original soles aren't split.
Hope that helps
what do tehy do exactly? skim old shoes?
I just glue strips of old Panaracer Smokes to my spats. The grip like mad and I have the added bonus of being the coolest cat on the trails.
They sand the bottom of the shoe, apply some special glue, stick the rubber on and then trim it to the sides of the shoe. It doesnt come up the sides, front and back like it does on 5 10s
Ive had 2 pairs of oakley trainers resoled by feet first, brilliant service.
One pair was a set of the spd shoes they are now flats only very grippy and have a a fairly stiff sole, the second pair was just a pair that should really have been binned years ago but the resole has given them a new lease of life.
why don't you get your am40's resoled?
there's a thought
