Hello.
I'm currently using 5.10's Blackwings and I'm thinking of buying Dragons as the second pair for my collection. The reviewers are saying they are basically the same, only Blackwings has the velcro closure. IS this true?
The problem is that I consider Blackwings as more of all-around shoes: I can climb slabs, vertical problems and over-hangs with good holds. I only fail on tiniest edges which need that extra stiffness and the reviewers the Dragons are great for the edges, but that Blackwings are as stiff as the dragons and I don't consider blackwings as stiff shoes. I can stand great on slabs and walking with them around the lines studying the problems ain't a problem for me.
