    Hello All,

    After reading several posts, it seems that the Five Ten shoes are
    pretty good for MUni. The only problem is that I can not find any
    stores that stock them here in MN.

    So, for those of you that own them, do their sizes match up well with
    other well known brand sizes? IE, a size 11 in a Five Ten is the same
    as an 11 for Nike? Or is there a difference? Like an 11 in a Five Ten
    is comparable to a 10.5 in Nike, etc.

    I'd like to see a couple of posts comparing the Five Tens to fairly
    common brands, so I can know what size Impact 2's to order.

    Thanks alot!
    Dave

    My experience is that Nike makes a narrow shoe, and I don't like them
    for that reason. My foot is wide. 5.10's are great, because they are
    wider in general, and nothing sticks like 5.10 rubber. I think
    lengthwise they are right on according to their sizing. But you might
    get them slightly larger or smaller depending on what you are doing. I
    like my hiking and running shoes slightly larger and my climbing shoes
    slightly smaller than my true shoe size. My Asics, Merrills, and 5.10's
    are all the same size, and are all comfortable for my slightly wider
    than average feet. I use the 5.10's for Muni sized according to
    hiking/running, and love the extra grip when riding, and when running
    out a steep technical UPD.

    Order on line from Zappos - they have good prices, ship for free, and I
    believe you can return for free, too.

    Thanks for the info, I feel more comfortable dropping that kinda coin
    for some shoes knowing that they will most likely fit right!

    Like Don said, most 5.10 shoes run a little wide. However the length
    seems to be exactly that of Nike in terms of fit - meaning I wear a 13
    in Nike and a 13 in 5.10 DH shoes.
