Did Fiveten discontinue the Supermocc? I can't find it anywhere... anybody want to sell me a 9.5? |
|

|

|
ah, the V10's I wore those things until they looked like they had been nibbled to death by hamsters... |

I much preferred the fit of the supermoccs too, especially the heal. |

I was just up at North Summit Rock Gym, in Wind Gap, PA - they have both the supermocs and V10's in stock. They don't have an online retailer, but you can call or e-mail them - (610) 863-4444 info@northsummitclimbing.com |

Speaking of supermocc's, can these be resoled? They're so thin I feel like its not possible but I want mine to last! |

And AFAIK, no-one else sells anything comparable in terms of thinness and durability. Also, I've heard resolers say they're a pain, because they have no last in the forefoot. I guess that's part of what makes them so thin, but may be a problem for resolers. I should be getting my first resole of a Supermocc back from Rock & Resole within a few days - I'll let y'all know how it went. GO |

GOActually, they have no midsole. The last is the foot-shaped chunk of plastic or wood that they sew the shoe around, it's not a part of the shoes themselves. It's kind of like a mold for making a shoe. Typically, a resoler will grind the existing rubber down to the midsole, then put on new rubber. There is a little room for error in grinding. But if you have no midsole at all, a tiny error in grinding (which isn't exactly a precision endeavor to start with) puts a hole through your shoe. If I were a resoler, I wouldn't touch those things. Normally, you could just leave a little excess rubber on and "stack" the new rubber on top of the remainder of the old. This is a relatively popular procedure down here in Josh (large grainy rock, eats rubber), where you expect to resole a shoe many, many times. But you can't do that on these, because the super-thin profile is part of the appeal of the shoe. Personally, I just keep a pair of regular Mocs around that are about 90% of the way to resole. A little seam grip over the toe knuckles and you've bsaically got a supermoc but without that extra thickness of the toecap/rand over the smaller toes (which probably offsets having the thin sole anyway when you're talking about overall toe profile thickness) |

It's kind of like a mold for making a shoe.Thanks for the correction. As for Moccs with some seam grip being functionally equivalent - nope. That's what I used previously (and still do on occasions where I don't want to waste the Supermoccs) and they just aren't as thin. Course I've been known to just get rid of the shoes entirely and tape my toes. But that's cheating. ;) GO |

I got my Super Mocs resoled and they are still great. Rock-n-Resole did an awesome job. It was not the Mystic rubber but they have thinned up nicely and are doing well in thin cracks. I don't know if they will make it through another resole but if not I guess its back to the red foot blues. That said, there's not really a better shoe out there for thin cracks (in my opinion) than the mocs since the supers are gone. Oh well. It was good while it lasted. |

If anyone is still looking, someone on geartrade has a pair of supermoccs in a 10.5 for sale. |

I never would have found that place without your tip... Renee was very helpful. 5 stars. |

Long shot, but does anyone have any 8.5s they would be willing to sell? Let me know, thanks! |
