Product Information

I'm looking to clear out some items from my gear closet. I bought these a few years ago but I knew they were just going to be much too tight. Never climbed in but I have kept them throughout the years thinking that I'd give them a shot. During that time, I've lost the box and the straps have gotten a bit dirty from me attempting to put them on every so often, just hoping they would magically fit. Soles are prestine and have never touched plastic/rock. Perhaps they would fit better if they were given a chance to break in, but I've moved on. These are great shoes once touted to be the replacement for the much beloved Dragons, but more sensitive. For reference, I wear a size 10 in Anasazi VCS for a comfortable yet snug fit and a 10.5-11 street shoe.   FROM FIVE TEN: "The Blackwing is a more comfortable velcro version of the highly aggressive, Dragon, for those of you that aren't quite ready to tame the bouldering beast. Still highly asymmetric, heavily downturned, and with only a thin 3.5 mm layer of Stealth® HF™ rubber that makes it incredibly sensitive, the only differences from the Dragon, other than the velcro closure, are the wider toe box and perforated tongue. Whereas the Dragon's fit extremely tight (everywhere), the Blackwing doesn't compress the toes as much, and the perforated tongue increases breathability and comfort in the forefoot. This makes the Blackwing slightly heavier and bulkier than its purist brother, but its easier on-offs and more foot-friendly design make it ideal for climbers on longer boulder problems or very technical sport routes where comfort comes into play. With a synthetic upper, the Blackwing will have the absolute minimum amount of stretch."
