Five Ten Moccasyms - discontinued?

Hi All, 

I know a lot of people aren't fond of the Moccs since Five Ten's acquisition by Adidas, but they're still my go-to shoe for bouldering - I've had several different pairs over the years and have gotten a few pairs resoled. 

I noticed REI recently started discounting them from $125 to $99, which is exceedingly rare for a climbing shoe. Their site now says that the item is discontinued - I ended up buying two pairs just to be safe. 

Google searches lead back to Mountain Project forums, with a post that has an email screenshot of an Adidas rep saying that Five Ten would be discontinued by Adidas in Spring 2021, but I can't find any corroborating information. I checked a few other Five Ten products on the REI site but they didn't have the same discontinued alert. 

Anyone know what's going on? 

I don't know anything about them being discontinued, but check out the Unparallel UP Moccs. They're very similar w/ a little extra rubber over the toes. The company was founded by people that left or were laid off from 5.10 when Adidas took over.

Looks like they are getting replaced by the updated NIAD Moccasym:

The new asymetric toe patch is on the wrong side for crack climbing.  It still works for toe hooking, so I guess their main target market is now bouldering.  Too bad, I really enjoyed the full toe patch of the discontinued Anasazi Pro for cracks.

Actually they still have the plain Mocc without the toe rubber patch in that Spring catalog, maybe they will offer both styles.

looks like pinks are done again.  The new thing that looks like them looks like it has a bigger heel cup.  Also what is up with the little lip of rubber on the heels of those mocs?  looks like gearX or similar shoes. 

Idk about the other shoes but I’m obsessed with my Grandstones. They are the only high tops that fit me well.

Anyone know of any positive improvements in 5.10 quality since Adidas took over?

Let’s see:

1. Super narrow and low volume now

2. Shitty upper material that feels like vinyl, does not stretch and has tendency to split

3.  Sizing is all over the place with zero consistency

4.  Strange lack of sensitivity and precision

Nope, can’t think of a thing that they still do well. After 20+ years of using 5.10 almost exclusively, I’ve switched to Sportiva and don’t really miss them.

I picked up a pair of post-Addidas pinks.  They are my 1st pair, but I have other Anasazi shoes I like way better.

Guide tennies are still wicked nice

They restocked a lot of shoes recently including the Moccs.

I don’t own a pair of the Unparalell Up Moccs but I climbed in a demo pair for a session and they were excellent. Like a Moccasym with more toe rubber and a slightly thicker sole, and apparently better QC than post Adidas 5.10. I will buy a pair soon and would recommend.
