DR ◣◢ Posted July 31, 2013 Share Did you get the shoes off CRC? I'm planning on buying a pair, but customs duty eish... CRC yes. They were on sale. Even with duties they are still worth it. They do however feel about 1/2 too big for me. I will see after the first ride how they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will see after the first ride how they are. Yeas, it seems with duties and shipping they come to about R1500? Still cheaper than diald I suppose. My trail running shoes are a UK 11, so I should probably just go UK 11 on the 5-10's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather have them a little big rather than too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 different model FiveTens and this is what I have found...The Impact based models (Impact, Sam Hill, Karver) seem to be slightly bigger than my "skate shoes size)The Freerider based models (Freerider, Danny Mac, Red Barron) seem to be a spot on equivalent of my skate shoe size.The Malrese Falcon SPDs ca also be sized according to regular shoe size.

Stupid question, but if I order from CRC and the item attracts customs duties: - when do I pay the duties, - does customs let the item through or do they hold until I pay (if so then Diald makes more sense), - do they slap duties on the order including postage or ex postage?

Capricorn Posted July 31, 2013 Share hmmm, thanks! What generation would the Red Barron's fall under? Cos those are what I have. not sure if my sizing experiences with the freeriders extend to the other models, so can't really say. Also depends on whether your feet are lipo-enhanced or not. Mine's pretty lipo-depleted Edited July 31, 2013 by Capricorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted July 31, 2013 Share The Airbrake look awesome! I really like the lens clip in system. I was hoping the taxman was going to be more generous this year. If so, I would have gone full retard gadget and got me some Oakley Airwaves i had a look at that as well, but a reviewer said the info coming off the screen is just overload and a bit of distraction. Still, super cool gadget. would be awesome for paintballing though, when launching the drone for an airstrike or for surveillance.. I'm assuming drones are allowed in PB...
