Advantages: Nice to ski on, effortless turning Disadvantages: Have had bad experience with prevoius model
...I have been skiing since I was 3 years old am now am 21. I have been on the world circuit most of my life and have been in the German national ski team and won German national titles at a young age.
A team member and I both bought a previous model of Volkl carvers (orange ones) and although they are and excellent ski we both had problems with the bases. During training in New Zealand on a rocky face there was a small land slide with pebbles scattered across the slope.
After skiing through this trying to aviod as much as we could we later found that our bases had huge chunks taken out of them by the pebbles. They were huge gored out grooves and we were not impressed!. Later that season I crashed in a downhill event and snapped one of my skis.
So the only problem was that they broke on me and that the bases were similar in strength...

Advantages: Very agressive and down-turned Disadvantages: Sometimes has deadspace in the heel for some people
...This is Five Ten's most agressive and technical slipper and is very popular among both sport climbers and boulderers.
What has made this slipper so popular for steep wall climbing is its combination of a down-turned toe an d very soft midsole; making it sensitive and versatile. Many people are surprised to hear various hard gritstone slabs have been climbed in V10s, considering them designed for steep terrain only. However unlike most other slippers, the sole only stiffens quite close to the contact area. Support, however, is maintained due to its tight closure and very strong slingshot- especially considering the total lack of a midsole!
In all, its hard to find a boulderer that doesn't rate this classic slipper. Anyone looking for sensitivity and power- this is the shoe. However dont buy them if your thinking of climbing anything...

I had previously a Nikon L3 5 megapixels camera and I was VERY disappointed (please see my other review about this camera) so I gave it away. Then I did an extensive research about what 5 megapixels camera I should buy. Read a lot and checked a lot of... more
