5.10 is coming out with a new high top model.
It's about time someone brought them back. Sure is nicer for those offwidths then taping your ankles or socks, plus they are warmer for those cold ass winter days when you probably shouldn't be climbing but do it anyways
I have a copy of the 1972 Chouinard Equipment Catalog advocating clean climbing. I also have the Black Diamond, 'Thirty Years Later', 2002 catalog. I'll have them in my truck, if anyone would be interested in seeing them! there is a pair of high tops in my closet!
I have a pair of Sportiva Mariachi's that I still use on alpine climbs.
