Was looking for a pair of five ten blanco lace up in 11.5.....given up,! Now trying to decide between the Verd's and the new PInk's, could somebody give me a heads up on the differences, or recommend one of them, I'm looking for a relatively stiff shoe.

Cheers.

Go for the pinks.
In reply to Goofyfoot:

Scarpa Vapour Velcros are much stiffer than either of Greens or Pinks. The uppers are also better made so you can get a resole or two out of a pair.

In my experience tho' scarpa fit very differently to 5.10 so they may not be an option ( or might be much better)

I prefer the rubber on the 5:10's , as I say, at this point not sure which one!

Pinks are way stiffer than the greens. Greens get real soft real quick, useless for sport but quite good for (punter level anyway) grit, and granite cracks. I love the whites for sport but would happily go back to pinks if I couldn't have em. If the choice was only greens I'd be looking at other brands.

Full disclosure: have never climbed in the new pinks, but had 3-4 pairs of the old ones, have had verdes in 3 sizes, and am on my 3rd pairs of whites.
