FIVE TEN VERDON

The Verdon is made of suede leather lined with an exceptionally smooth polyester material. We found that these stretched about 1/4-1/2 size after a few dozen routes and we expect that they will stretch another 1/4 size–just enough to make a little more room for toe knuckles. The tongue is made of a soft perforated foam and keeps the fit comfortable even when cranking down on the laces for a solid fit. The rubber on the heel goes all the way up the back so heel hooks with the tight fit are solid and predictable. Although the toes are covered fairly well with sticky rubber, the shape does not lend itself to really strong toe hooks, decent, but not great.
