Very high shipping charges. Don't order unless you plan to buy a lot.

Kevin, thanks for the link.
Fed Ex shipping on two pairs to San Diego = $10.61
seems reasonable

I got quoted $15.33 shipping for two pairs of shoes and $15.81 for three(fedex ground to Utah). I just can't pass up Guide Tennies for $40 a pop.

Susan, I did it last year and it worked great. Like someone said above the shipping is high for only one pair, but for multiple pairs it is not too bad as it is about the same price for shipping.

Good Question...
|
|
How come both my 5 tennies fell apart?
I WANT to like them and get another pair but sheesh two of them?
Sole on one just delaminated (glue sucks?).
Whole sole off the other just dropped off.
Yep both of the guides. WTF?

^^^ DD, I seam seal the crap out of mine and they will last between 1.5 to 2 years of heavy use.
See here. One tube is enough for a pair.
http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=1454474&tn=0
I use to just hit the seams but it made the shoes look kind of messed up and they would last about a year. Then I started coating the whole shoe and that seemed to provide enough seal to keep the dirt out and get another 12 months out of them.

Goto local retailer. Try on shoes. Feel like a d00cheb@g cause you didn't buy them there...

I've found the women's 5-10s approach/hiking type shoe (Camp 4 and Exum) run small. Same with MTB shoes.
Guide Tennies...true to size.
Climbing shoes true to size.
Now remember this is women's sizes.
Oh gawd get me away from this site. PLEEEEZZZEEEEE

oops sorry was not paying full attention. Agree that Guide Tennies are a little wider than the normal 510 last. My comment was in general about most of their models. All others I have tried on; I have had to up 1/2 size..to accommodate my semi-wide feet.
Hope I didn't mess anyone's order up with my bad advice : (
My big box arrived yesterday but I was too busy to open it. Christmas has now been rescheduled to tonight!!

^^^^People would say to me, "I bet you throw away the shoes and wear the boxes". Worst part is that throught out your life, your nose and feet keep growing! Both mine were big to start with.

Anybody get a good deal on the wrong size Exum Guides? I have a pair of mint 10s that are just a bit tight. Do you have a pair of 10.5s that are too roomy?
Figured I would reach out before trying "aggressive break in" strategies.
I am in Truckee if there is a chance to meet and avoid further online shoe buying nonsense..

^ mike m, they forgot to ship a pair I ordered as well, and are waiving shipping on them. I did get 3 pairs so far that fit well.
Chim-Chim - here in San Francisco there are NO shops that sell approach shoes. Its like trying to find a good ski boot fitter or AT gear in this city/Bay area - forget about it. I know what my sizes are for Five Tens though, and do my other sizing via the internet, shipping back and forth, it it doesn't fit. I just sent back some Sportiva Gandas that were too small.... one more order and I might have the size nailed down at last.

I agree that trying stuff out and picking brains at the local shop, and then ordering online, while savvy, is a little bit like theft of services. I used to work in a backcountry/nordic ski shop every winter, and when that Telemark-Pyrenees-dot-whatever came out, undercutting US retail prices by A LOT, it felt like that was turning into everybody's standard M.O. It also felt like it was going to be the end of retail.
I've never had 5.10s, but thought this deal was a bit too good to pass on, so I just went with street shoe sizing on the tennies. They fit well. I picked up a couple of pairs of 2012 models, so it felt like a reduce/re-use/recycle kinda thing. Seemed like most of these were older models, no? Since we're going into 2015, these online closeouts seem like a great way to match buyers with older inventory that might otherwise languish.

downsize from your street shoe size? my anasazi laceups are my street shoe size (us 10, i wear 9.5/10 street shoe depending on brand) and i could've gone down a half size. my feet sort of swim a bit in them but they still edge really well. i was saving them to be my tech-edging shoe but they got relegated to "all-around" duty which makes me feel like i'm driving a ferrari on a dirt road.

I bought my wife and I guide tennies via amazon, the shipping ends up being a bit cheaper and Five Ten is still the seller.
I go to stores to try on shoes, but I've only found a few climbing shops that carry size 14 shoes. . .Also this is a great time to buy the guide tennie since they fvcked up the design this year (unless you like HUGE toeboxes, and sh!tty glue jobs).

Grrrr,,, I was waiting until I had the cash for shes, gas and a visit to the bead store in Redlands, and intended to go tomorrow. But the offerings on the website are greatly reduced from when this thread started.
I was hoping for a pair of the red Sirens, but looks like they're all sold.
Does anyone familiar with the shop know if they DO keep everything current on the website? I am sure I will still make the trip, but it would feel better if I thought I had a chance of getting a good-fitting pair of shoes when I do.

Happie, from my experience the website is not necessarily up to date. I've ordered shoes that appeared to be in stock on the site, but were on "backorder", and since the shoes were no longer being made there were none.
Give them a call and ask about availability for what you are looking for - (909)798-4222. Good luck!

Got those sirens in just the right size(I hope, anyway...).
The business also moved, just next door, a few weeks ago, so anyone going down there, it is the building to the left of old place(and address on the website)when you are standing on State Street.
