:roflol:

The first time I used a pair of Canyoneers I spent most the day watching the water squirt out the cute little drains..... squirting water makes slogging fun :thumb:

Latest update on the Five-Ten Canyoneer 2.

Good News: It appears the rumored shippment will be the Canyoneer 2's. Or second generation shoes.

Bad News: It appears the shippment has been pushed back until mid July. And don't be surprised if it slips back further.

5.10 canyoneers...where to begin.

1. No ankle support. I've rolled my ankles countless times

2. Not enough cushion in the sole. My feet get bruised after long canyons.

3. Plastic straps? Who the hell came up w/ these? I've had them break during a canyon. Luckily we had a zip tie in the canyon.

4. Fit. They're so difficult to get on my feet that I've actually needed to clip a biner onto the heel strap so i can pull hard enough.

5. Internal foot slide. After canyons w/ a lot of steep descents or downclimbs my big toe has ended up w/ blood blisters under the toe nail.

6. Water drainage. The metal screens that keep sand and small pebbles out while draining the water from the inside have fallen out on ever pair of 5.10's that I've seen.

7. Stealth Rubber Sole. It is VERY, VERY sticky. However, I've seen the entire sole peeling off of the shoe on several pairs. Super glue is a temporary fix.

...other than that, the 5.10 canyoneers are great! :wallbash:
I can't wait to try this years Portivas.

BLUE!?!?! :ne_nau:

Interesting..... after everything you hear about the new shoe and the first time you know they eliminated the bumble-bee effect is when it goes on sale. I preferred the subdued yellow they were hyping over the baby blue.

I'm curious if they are actually for sale. Mountain Gear is kinda famous for offering items that are not yet available (mostly because there catalog has a long lead time)). Last year you could actually order a copy of the mysterious and long await ACA canyoneering manual, which was never delivered.

If someone oders a pair let us know the results. :nod:

Something seems hoaky here. Did they totally bag the new design all together? Based on the photo on page one of this thread, it appears so, IF the Mountain Gear thing is real. :popcorn: I for one still like my 5-10's and hope the corporate boys get it together soon. I kind of wish they would put me in charge. :haha: Heads would roll. They must be losing a ton of money on this shoe as well as others. I see fewer and fewer 5-10 products on the shelf here locally.

Just a quick update on the Five-Ten Canyoneer 2. Latest word is they will be released late Spring of 2007.

The Canyoneer 2 is supposed to replace the current Canyoneer and was orginally slated for an early 2006 release. The release date keeps sliding so we can only hope the Spring 2007 date actually happens.

I believe one big problem is if Five-Ten misses a production run they have to reschedule. The Canyoneers are only produced during small production runs.

Latest word is they will be out about April 1st. No joke, I hope. They looked around for plastic buckles that would work, but did not find one. Back to the same brass buckles. Better sole and support. Pretty much the same shoe, but built completely differently.

I'm now on the Sportiva Team, and cannot put out the green for more than one shoe, so - no. But thanks for asking.
