Nice! Looks like they did a great job! I don't love my five tens so much I'd want to do this, except mybe for my first gen Danny Mac ones, but those soles are still ok, say yay for full stitched welts! And all full grain leather.

 

They turned out pretty good. I miss the old 5/10s like these that had the leather/waterproof material. Not a fan of the newer freeriders with the canvas.

 

Good to see. I'm not sure that I'd want to put mine into fulltime riding duty again, but for occasional use (especially if my other shoes got drenched the previous day and aren't dry yet) and for casual wear, maybe I should. It's better than just trashing them.

 

Just as an option Unparallel Sports does resole jobs...

Do you have any experience with Unparallel resole kits? They advertise half resole but I'm assuming that's only for climbing shoes. If they do half for MTB that would be great. Unparallel is old 5.10 owners right? We haven't heard much from them since they hit the scene years ago.

 

I do not on resole, however I have owned their shoes and to me it is the closest thing to the 5.10 rubber, especially the West Ridge. I own RC, Pear Izumi, 2FO, Giro, Shimano. I like the UP and 5.10 the best for sheer grip and feel.

I would give them a call on the resole, I had really good customer experience and they seem to go above and beyond.
