Actually, that’s not the case.
I just got another pair of Team 5.10 (the old ones wore out), and behold: they have the “le” designation where the old ones don’t.
AND they were cheaper. And free shipping. And came with chalk. Weird…

talk bout a sizing curve on these babies I wear a 8.5- 9 in street shoes and a 9 in the projects but after bringing these babies back three times i finally got the right size… a 10..? this blew my mind as I sometimes ride 8.5′s also remember these shoes are lined so the break in or blow out is minimal. I do however love the toe. I was on the wall yesterday and just knew my right foot was coming off and my efforts were lost and before I knew it I was looking for the next foot hold.
I do think if you have to pay full price I would wait for the general release to drop and save yourself about 50 bucks of course you wont have the LE to brag about lol.

I have my mocs in a size 7 and just picked up the teams in a size 9, the size 9 teams are still about a half inch smaller in length from heal to toe than the mocs. Bar my mocs fit pretty tightly, the teams are Very tight, like others said, they are painful in the beginning and hard to get on, but I think they will break in well (bar this is the second day I’ve climbed in mine).

Thanks Narc, definitely time to go snatch up a pair.

I can’t speak directly to the sizing compared to the old dragons since I never had a pair but it sounds like the Team shoe sizes pretty similarly. My Mocs are a 9 and my Team shoes & Lace up dragons are 10.5.

How would you size these in comparison to the old velcro dragons (which my love affair with must end soon as I have sewn more repair stitches on to the shoes than they came with stitches originally)? I have mocc’s in 6.5, sirens in 8 and dragon velcro’s in 8.5. Thanks for the advice

They aren’t going to stretch as much as an unlined shoe, but there is always going to be a little room for break-in.

Heh, so the whole, “Pain is insane” in red on the top of the box is just for show eh?

But seriously, aren’t these specifically supposed to not stretch? (I think it no longer matters to me because they clearly don’t fit my foot shape)

When I first got mine I could barely get them on my foot and once I did they were very painful, especially on the little toes of each foot. After a couple of weeks I was able to wear them on and off for 3 hours at a comp the other night without much problem. I’d say that if you can get them on they will probably break in ok, but it’s obviously different for everyone.

Im still struggling on how to size these things.

I ordered a pair of these online as my street shoe size, everything fits perfect,and its a high quality shoe, but they KILL the toes…

I guess what I am asking is how well do these shoes break in. Do they have some leeway? Im debating whether to stick with the pair I have and fight the pain or just size them up.
