Ordered 45 in the GR7's but think 46 would work better if anyone up for a swap 😊

sounds like they're all a size bigger than 5.10s? I was always happy with 5.10 44 until adidas messed it up.

I might be in the market for Dez or ijl's 45s if andeh tells me his 5.10s are 44.

Are either of you down South?

I have a set of 43s here, just a smidge too small, after some 44s...

If Ed doesn’t have them I’ll be next in line please. 👍🏻

Yup, near QECP

Hmm. andeh says he's a 46 in 5.10 land, so maybe the 44s will be OK for me.

So I'll buy his, and if they don't fit, I'll wang them on to pictonroad and buy Dez's - maybe seal the deal with a couple of laps of QECP.

How does that sound?

@dezb re the ION sizing: What size do you normally take?

Oh hi! IONs fit me fine, my trying on place wasn't ideal (in the car!). You have to loosen the laces off a fair bit.
Lovely shoes, dead chuffed with em cos my old Sombrios.. well, I've had em yonks!
Not a big 45, but a they're a 45 (UK10)

Just collected mine and fortunately they fit like a glove (apart from not having fingers etc, obvs).

The helpful lad in the shop said the pricing was apparently a mistake.

Oh, and they look like they'll be great for riding in. Love the cuff bit for keeping grit & loam out of shoe.

This is why I was kind enough not to take advantage 🙂

I ordered a 45 as per my other shimano shoes (I'm a UK 10 normally). First ride last night and they are excellent. Light weight, excellent fit, comfortable and insane grip levels. Lovely shoe at full price. Totally exceptional for £30!

Haven't worn mine on the bike yet, just to the office. As I was lobbing out the box yesterday I found the spare grey laces. 🙂

Very pleased with mine, 1,300m of mostly hike a bike in Lakes today and they are way better than 5:10s for that kind of thing.

Also quite like the stiffer sole and more damped feel for general riding. None of that awkwardness repositioning my foot while riding some very techical descents.

Best bargain for some time so thanks again OP.

I will join in the thanks.
Had just about trashed my last pair of 5.10 spitfires and on first ride these seem a nice replacement.
Need some mud to hide the lurid greenness which is bad enough I am seriously debating actually bothering to change the laces but overall really nice.

I've a pair of 45 grey/green if anyone has some 44's and wants to size up before they go on ebay?

I bought the Ions instead. They're a little small, but not too small, happily. Def bigger than 44 Shimanos.

Ions aren't as grippy as 5.10s, but hopefully they'll last longer as a trade off.
