Seems these have been discontinued and I have missed the boat on getting some spares, they are the perfect shoe for me in a size 8.5UK, anyone have any suggestions on something similar in terms of fit/climbing?

If you like the 5 10 fit you could try the new pinks, similar but slightly softer, alternatively lace up miura is worth a try, or the tenaya ra

Joe Browns had some in that size a few weeks ago.

I've gone with the pinks, a slightly different feel, but similar fit.

Sometimes you can get 5.10 greens (Verde) on sale as well.

Slightly different fit but the scarpa vapour v are worth a go. They take a resole really well if you're in to that kind of thing.

I'm liking the new pinks. £90 from Boulder uk but not sure if that's in store only

In reply to people recommending Verdes:

The Verdes are in no way a suitable alternative to the whites! The Verdes are super soft and great for smearing whereas the whites are a stiff edging shoe.

The pinks are supposed to be a replacement for the whites and the greens, an all rounder that's not super stiff or super soft. I haven't tried them as I luckily managed to pick up a few pairs of the whites on sale in my size.
