Another Hiangle sizing thread....yay!

I'm wanting to try the either of the current Hiangle offerings on the FiveTen site.  I've done some searching and keep seeing sizing advice where people reference the "old" hiangles.  I'm not sure if they're talking about the original blue leather, the gray/yellow synthetic, or the second version of the blue leather.

I have a pair of the synthetics (gray/yellow) in US 11.  It's a perfect fit for indoor bouldering.  I can't find those anymore.  Can anyone recommend a sizing equivalent for the current leather (blue) or the new white synthetics?  Thanks.

Following, my grey/yellow synthetics were stolen and I miss them. Didn’t know there was a new synthetic version. 

Anyone?

Hey Doug,

I've worn 10.5 in both the old teal (dye your foot blue) and grey/teal (previous model to the current white).  I'm a men's 10 street shoe.  I've always heard the grey/yellow synthetic Hiangles sized the same, but just didn't stretch.  I boulder and sport climbing in my Hiangles and fit them so they are snug but not bone-crushing.

I'm also just ordered the new (white) Hiangle in both 10.5 and 10 to see which fit I prefer. I've heard with the new toe box, sizing down might be a good idea.  I can let you know in a couple days which size I think fits most similar to my old model.  

older versions (V1 smurf blue and V2 updated gray).  I was a 12 US in both. Never tried the neon yellow synthetics. I went with 12.5  US in the whites. I’m a 13 running shoe

I’m a 10.5 men’s and have a C width foot with a lowish volume heel.  I went a half size down in the leather blue V2 and they’re great now.  Break in was kinda bad for the first three sessions.

I have a pair that went comfy a bit too quickly but not sure about the 1/2 size down idea

I have a pair of the v3 whites, size 9.5 for a performance fit. I wear a street shoe 10-10.5, 8.5 in 5.10 mocs, 10 in Anasazi vcs (all day comfort), and 42 in sportiva katanas.

Thanks guys.  I've got wide/low volume feet with zero arch.  I've seen some comments about the white synthetics having a higher volume than the older versions.  I might go with the current blue V2 in a half size down from my size 11 yellow/gray synthetics.  I can handle a little upfront discomfort, as long as they'll stretch into a snug but bearable fit.

Follow up.  I got my blue/gray Hiangles today after using my coupon codes with their 5/10/20 sale ($53, free shipping :) )  

I ended going with my street shoe size 11.  They are seriously tight but will likely be perfect after some breaking in.  Honestly, those of you who have sized down are either:  into pain, not sizing your street shoe correctly, or just plain cray.  Thanks for all the input, everyone.

Damn, mine are comfy in a half size down.  Prolly too comfy now.

I think it really depends on your foot shape and volume.  I downsized a full size (12 US) from street (13) in the V1 Blues and ordered a new pair of the Whites which should come today in 12.5.

New HiAngles came!  First impressions:
-sizing up a half size from how you sized the leather models is perfect (pictured is my old V1 Blues in 12 and the new Whites in 12.5).  The fit was a perfect suction cup for me outside of the box and it doesn’t seem like they stretch much with the full synthetic build.-WAY easier to get into than the old ones.  Once my Smurfs broke in they were ok (but still a struggle) to get on, but the new ones were easy to get on right outside of the box likely because of the split sole.-They feel like a more aggressive shoe.  This may be a plus or a minus depending on how you felt about the old ones, but it seems like they leaned into how people were using them (early marketing suggested Five Ten really didn’t know what they had created).  To me they feel like a better fitting and stickier (but less pointy) Solution/Instinct.  The toebox may be slightly blunter but it’s also more downturned.  Great edging and toeing in on the steeps when I gave them a few test runs.  I’d say these are more suited to steep climbing than the old ones, but the old ones were better for smearing on volumes with the flatter toe.-Split sole is the way to go.  The redesigned heel is AWESOME and fits me perfectly.  Of course, YMMV...I have good luck with Five Ten.  Way more rubber coverage (that leather window is gone, thank God!), and it really sucks into your foot in a way the old ones didn’t.
We’ll see how they hold up - Five Ten has been hit or miss lately - but the construction feels very solid and the design is slick.

Sorry to necromance this thread, but for those with similar questions as the OP:

I wear an 11 in the gray/yellow synthetic Hi-Angle, and they're probably my best fitting 5.10 shoe I've worn. 

I have purple Quantums in size 12, but I wish they were 11.5; I have some older Anasazi VCS in size 11 that I wish were 10.5. 

So - I thought I would size aggressively and go with 10.5 in the new white/yellow Hi-Angle. They just arrived, and without struggling more than I feel the pull straps could handle, I couldn't get my heel in. I'm going to order size 11 instead, but there's a part of me that thinks I should get size 11.5. I'll report back.

(Side note: I also just got a pair of Mocasyms in size 10 - again, too small but only by a fraction, so I'm going with 10.5, which would match how I feel about my Anasazi's sizing.)

Yeah I don’t know where people got the idea to downsize the new White version more than you did with the old ones.  I haven’t noticed a difference in the toebox or volume...feels the same.  Been climbing in them for about 3 months and I really like them.  If you’re looking for a do-it-all aggressive shoe it’s a good option...great on the steeps but I’ve done slab problems in them and even a few jams (I definitely wouldn’t want to bring them to Indian Creek though).
