Adidas Five Ten Grandstone.

Does it still exist?

I tried some on the other day and really liked the fit, narrower, softer and more sensitive than TCs. But they don’t seem to exist on the adidas website. Did they discontinue ?

Yes they discontinued it

I have had good luck finding discontinued shoes by posting a WTB for whatever size needed.

Speaking of, I have a pair of lightly used grandstones sitting in a gear bin collecting dust...

What size?

and since they are discontinued, is there a similar shoe out there?  Like a TC but narrower?

I have bought several pair of Grandstone on Ebay but they are becoming harder and harder to find.  

I have come to realize that any shoe Five Ten makes that I really like will be discontinued shortly.  Old Grandstones, Blancos, New Grandstone, Old Five Tennie etc....

Because I learned this early I got in the habit of stock piling shoes I really like.

I bought half a dozen pairs of 5.10 Insights (approach shoes) and three pairs of Guide Tennies, when they went out of production. Unfortunately, the midsole of the Insights, after they were 4-5 years old, fell apart out of the box. The Guide Tennies lasted better, but the experience has me leery of stockpiling shoes in the future.

I lurk from time to time on EBay and have been pretty lucky getting old Five Tennies that are brand new in the box.  They are becoming harder to find but they pop up on occasion.  I’m rotating between 5 pair right now.  

I have a brand new pair size 44.5 (I bought them a size too big) if you are interested!

Is that like size 11 in Merican? 

A list of similar shoes: gist.github.com/Natetronn/7…

US 10 FR 44

I wear a 42.5 in sportiva otakis and size 11 street shoes if that means anything. These are definitely on the "comfy, could wear really thin socks if cold"
