Thats my plan.
Funny enough I've spotted quite a few non 5.10 sponsored riders sporting their sole on Nikes, Van's, and other shoes.

you can actually order the resole kit direct from www.stealthrubber.com and put it on whatever pair of shoes you so choose.
Edit: Go to the 5.10 store, click accessories http://www.fiveten.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=3_28&osCsid=e9ce0543caa67b6ab9842bd11eb04d59

i love my early edition 5.10s...the allblacks when butch brought em back. they're simple, they work mint, and I've never had problems with dirt and grit. I am a huge fan of the single sided tongue but the the round laces leave much to be desired. Still, once they're double knotted they're fine. No problems with delamination either, but I'm not out every weekend.
Great shoes. I may buy a pair of freerunners because they're neat.
Don't dig the new styles, but that's mostly because black and red doesn't work...and the sam hills look like bowling shoes.

The new Freeriders look great. They look like a re-worked BA51C. I had a lot of Vans previously and burned through the waffle bottoms quickly. I still have a pair of 1/2 Cab's that are brand new, just the waffles are shredded.
I bought 2 pairs of BA51C and I am still on the first pair. I use them only for DJ and keep my black Impact low's for the FR/DH.
I never thought of getting the kits and applying to another shoe. Which one of the kits in Bizutch's reference are the correct ones? What are the differenes in them? There are like 9 different kits...

Anyone actually thought that perhaps they are making black? Just not shown in the photos?
Jeez.
Jeez.
I just noticed that the main difference between the carver and the low top is that it's basicly the 06 Mid-top with ankle protection from the crank. I love that feature of the mid-top. I gave the original sample pair to my buddy Greg and ride the low tops now. Wish I had those again in a way.
i'll run the ladies purple or the sam shoes... assuming i kill my marzo 5.10's, which isn't likely any time soon.
All kind of ironic... given that 5-10 a few years back consciously stopped (for a while) supplying the UK importer and apparently didn't want anything to do with mtb.
... yep - but thank God for Butch.
:biggrin:
Without him, we wouldn't even be seeing this stuff.

Sam Hill riding for Team Butch in 09!
I have a pair of the IMPACT Low. I like them alot. With 510's I've gone back to 100% Flat Pedals. I like the look of their 2009 line. 
Any body seen the Red/Black Karver in person? Does the lace protector say "Karver" or "Korn"? My Impacts are about done and I like the looks of these, especially the low cut with added ankle protection. However, I'd rather just buy a new set of impacts than pay extra for a lame logo I will probably black out with sharpie.
you mean 14 years ago?
you dug through the pages to piss & moan about that? :biggrin: Homer.
So you can really attach a stealth rubber sole to any other pair of shoes? Do you have to detach the original outsole first?
Also, to whoever said that a black/red colorway "doesn't work" you should know that it's perenially one of the most celebrated colorways of the jordan line, which is perhaps the most celebrated line of sneakers ever.

Ahhh....yes, the most celebrated sneaker for basketball players and sneaker collectors...made by a no longer active player who's only relevance comes from a yearly sneaker and hanes commercials....who's team colors were white and red (with a little black).
When stealth rubber shoes become collectible, maybe you'll have a point.
if dug through pages you mean look at the page i left open last, then yes
Agreed, really fugly. Function is sometimes ugly. First ones are the best of the bunch. Its a clever logo for sure. Def dig it.
Well, my point is, is that there isn't a difference between a stealth rubber shoe and a basketball shoe that makes a red/black colorway work for one and not for the other. Right? Technology-wise, sure, they're very different things, made for very different purposes, but that has very little to do with the colors.
An mtb show should probably have darker colors since it's going to get dirty, so what's wrong with a black/red colorway?
At least if you buy the Hill model you can jump straight off the bike and go to the golf course and play a quick 18 - they look like old man golf shoes to me. Hey with that sticky rubber it just might work:biggrin:
wUrd. I wish they'd focus on driving down the costs rather than driving up the colors (and gayness....)Who the hell buys a set of shoes just because it has some dude's name on it?Would you wear underwear with someone else's name on it too?
Ugly ones at that.
<====== Loves his pure black Impacts.
hey man, i'm just ribbing you a little bit. I think red and black is an ugly combination (very mid 90s) but color choice is about as personal as it can get. A lot of people buy d2 helmets because they're pretty, and that's it. There are plenty of sneakerfreakers out there, but I'm not really one of them.
YMMV
Haha, I had a feeling that's what it was.
I personally don't like black/red sneakers either, but I used to collect sneakers so I've seen that the black/red colorway is far from unpopular (even for non-jordans) which leads me to believe that a lot of people like black and red shoes.
Regardless, I'm stoked to get that resole kit and slap some stealth rubber on a nice pair of leather dress shoes. Don't think I won't do it (I won't do it).

Pagey does the resoling to his DC's.
So does the Karver have a narrower last than the regular Impacts? Love my Five.Tens but my one complaint is they are WAYYYYY too wide.
