why do you think theyre fake?

65 would be about cost on them.

the sizing sucks in the black.

and the desert camo is fugly (even by 510 standards)

Shoes look a little "funny" but the yellow tag says S1, which refers to the sole.

I like the tan ones… They have extra eyelets on the upper, much better ankle support.

When asked about authenticity, replies like "lol, you are funny. If you have trust issues, please buy somewhere else. Thanks!" don't do much to bolster buyer confidence. I'd pass.

I don't think theres a big enough market for 5.10's to start producing fakes.
Fake Nike's/adidas are way more sellable and international.

Haha, I saw that too.

I think the shoes are real, but why would you write that? What a knob.

Dinky comments from a seller = no sale for me. You want my money? Better be nice ;)

Five tens are probably great shoes.

But they look really cheap. Like regular fake shoes.

But hey, if they work, who cares?

The guy should take some appealing pictures and be a bit more friendly in his ad, he would sell a ton maybe.

5.10's might not look too fancy in the line up at starbucks..but in the last bit i have used mine for hiking the peak of elphie, reroofing a house and of course riding the bike.

super burly and that stealth rubber doesnt slip on wet rocks, wood or pedals. best bike shoes i have ever worn.
