I thought I'd read somewhere that you can get 5 10's re-soled. Is this true and who's doing it? As far as I know Addidas bought Fiveten so don't know if it's still possible.
There was a company in Chesterfield who did this, they have been in the mags on on the foums a few years back!
www.llanberisresoles.com can do them
To be honest though, the uppers are shite. Why not get the sole put on a decent waterproof shoe or boot instead?

@ alexpalacefan..
...why are the uppers shite? I've had mine 3 years, given them loads of abuse. They don't claim to be a waterproof shoe...
if it's just the dotty stealth rubber, torquil from Llanberis resoles (link above) can do them. he's a brilliant guy and did an excellent job of my trashed climbing shoes.
HIghly recommend Feet First in Chesterfield. They stuck some dotty rubber on a pair of Inov8 boots which are working a treat in the snow!
Well, any water, at all, anywhere, and they soak it up. Don't get me wrong, I love mine, just wish they weren't so deliquescent.
If I had the choice, I'd have stealth rubber on a waterproof shoe.

Seconded. They put some on an old pair of my Nike 6.0 Mogans. Hey-presto! Sticky bike shoes at half the price of a pair of 5-10s
Hi I'm Torquil from Llanberis Resoles and deft is right I can put a dotty sole on bike shoes. I don't use the 5.10 rubber though I have Vibrams version which is pretty similar but a bit longer lasting. They are both pretty good to be honest and super grippy. I just did a nice pair of Shimano AM41's which came out well
