Product Descriptions
RockCreek Description: When you look at the Men's Five Ten Blackwing, think Dragon with a Velcro closure. The padded tongue has a super-soft, fleecy microfiber lining. It wicks sweat and gives the top of your foot support and comfort, no matter the angle. The Blackwing fits like a glove, but slides on easily. The team shoe heel cup is extra snug and the Mystique outsole is specifically designed for ultimate friction on overhanging rock. Rock/Creek, Five Ten and Triple Crown Bouldering Series partner together to offer a special deal on the premire of the new Blackwing.Eastern Mountain Sports Description: Steep. Overhanging? No problem for the Five Ten Blackwing shoes that combine comfortable Velcro closure with a performance shape. Fits like a glove, but slides on easily. Padded-tongue has a supersoft fleecy microfiber lining. It wicks sweat and gives the top of your foot support and comfort. Drastic downturned toe for hooking. The team shoe heel cup is extra snug. Stealth Mystique outsole is specifically designed for ultimate friction on overhanging rock. On sizing, please note climbing shoe sizes are only a suggestion as fit is highly personal. Foot shape, use, and style all play into size selection.
Backcountry Description: The Five Ten Blackwing Women's Climbing Shoe combines an aggressive profile with a durable design that's well-suited for both climbing and bouldering. Thanks to a formed heel cup, the Blackwing has an extra snug fit, and its rugged Mystique rubber offers maximum friction on overhanging problems and routes. Don't sweat it if your project takes a few tries; a microfiber lining delivers plenty of moisture management as well as a comfortable, fleecy feel when you're hanging off a jug-haul 40 feet up.
Retailer Reviews
Satisfied, heel has some room though.
I ordered these in both a 7.5 and 8 based on other reviews.I wear a 7.5 street size. My La Sportiva Muiras are a size 37. I have a wider foot at the toes, nothing ridiculous. (For reference - Scarpa rockettes in sizes 37.5 did not fit my higher volume foot.I mostly boulder, often indoors at anywhere from a V2-V7 in plastic land. I prefer a more down turned shoe for overhang problems.These shoes run small, I tried for a while to cram my feet into the 7.5 (my slightly larger foot was not having it) I could get them in, but walking was close to impossible and the material being synthetic, likely wont stretch enough. The 8, I was hesitant to keep, since on one foot, my heel felt slippy.I brought 'em to the gym and realized that the 8 had to be the right size since I rip them off my feet after a problem. They are relatively comfortable - one hot spot at my big toe, and a pocket in the heel of the other foot. The tongue padding is really nice. The aggressive toe has been helpful.I am really hoping that these hold their shape and stay together.
