My 5-10s are made in China by the hands of midget underpaid child labourers. God bless 'em

sure ask the drunk guy questions while he waits for his pizza....

I normally wear size 9.5 shoes but bought the size 9 5-10s because they were in stock. So far, they fit perfectly and apart from nearly crashing because they stuck to my pedals too much, I fkn luv em. Dead set, after riding with these bad boys, the best "normal" shoe you've tried feels like an ice skate.

TRANSLATION: yes they're good, and yes - you should buy them

Mine are nearly identical to my Vans and Orchids.

They used to be, but production was shifted offshore.

I *think* TLD helmets are made in Asia somewhere by OGK. Not entirely sure however.

Thay are true sizes. Typically, I wear a size 12 in most brands: DC, DVS, Vans, etc. However, in Five-Tens, I wear an 11 1/2...BTW, they are by far the best shoes I have ever used for riding.
