New Product!!!
Super Loco **Available September 1 2006**


Description:
We cant stop innovating....so don’t even ask. The Loco was our flagship high performance shoe and a darn good one at that, but it wasn’t good enough for the mad scientists. With a completely new last, this down turned toe ultra performer is better on edges, better on toe hooks and better on heel hooks. Not to be outdone in the looks department we welded functional rubber flames on the side to help out with those extreme inside foot smears. The triple strap enclosure system was jealous so they got flames as well. With a shoe of this caliber we know your gonna fit them tight so we added a thin padded lining and a neoprene tongue. That with our seamless binding tape around the ankle makes it tight fitting yet not overly painful.

Availability: Not available until September 1st 2006
Price: US$ 109.95



Recommended Shoe:
5.10 V10s

The V10 is the highest performance slipper on the market. Built on the same last as the Dragon, the V10 has a powerful down-turned toe that allows you to pull with your feet like a mad ape. The V10 is designed for super steep and overhanging rock or powerful bouldering, pocketed stone, where you find yourself not just pushing with your feet, but also pulling with them. Super sticky Stealth HF rubber is an additional advantage.
Designer: Charles Cole, Sang LeeConcept: Downturned toe for overhanging boulders and routes.Development: Five Ten created the first down-turned toe shoe, the UFO, more than a decade ago. For the first time, climbers were able to pull with their toe, giving them more power in overhanging situations. This is Five Ten's most sophisticated down-turned last, with Stealth HF rubber for ultimate friction under low loads. Additional Information: The current version has rubber on the toe for advanced toe hooking.
