5:10s (five tens) questions

'Sup!

im looking at getting some 5:10 high tops for my latest forray back into flats (spds on a full susser has made me lazy, my flat pedaled summer season has highlighted)

ANYWAY.

i cant find anywhere in exeter, that sells 5:10s at all.
so question is, do i buy them off the internets?

im a 12 in most shoes, but my speccy spd shoes come up as 48 (which is just over 12, at 47)
shimano SPD 12s are faaar to small for me.
As 5:10s only go up to 12s, if they dont fit, i'll have to rethink the plan alltogether i guess,

how do they size up?
does anyone know of anywhere who DOES have them near exeter?

Might be a bit far but http://www.badassbikes.co.uk/index.php south of Bristol stocks them. Sizing wise I take UK 10 trainers and UK 10 5:10's, my other 'proper' cycling shoes are UK 10.5/11

I wear 7's and the 5Ten 7's fit me fine. Buying on-line still gives you the choice to return them.

What mk1fan said, 5.10 sizes are usually spot on but worst case you can always exchange them (I'm going to big up CRC here because I've done this with a pair of 5.10s from them previously 🙂 )
