Northampton, England - E-Outdoor, a leading retailer of branded outdoor clothing and equipment, are now stocking a new climbing and approach shoe brand, Five Ten.
Family-owned company Five Ten has been designing and retailing outdoor sports footwear since 1985, creating climbing and approach shoes which use innovative Stealth rubber sole technology: the company's own quality signature. The Stealth rubber sole was created by avid climbers for avid climbers, and produces more friction, higher durability, and comfort for the wearer; allowing them to climb on otherwise-unreachable planes.
E-Outdoor is now stocking a selection of Five Ten's specialist footwear which makes use of this revolutionary technology, including unisex climbing shoes and men's approach shoes. The footwear is used by world-class athletes and climbing, hiking, paddling and trail-running enthusiasts who prioritise high performance and the ability to reach otherwise unreachable areas during outdoor activities.
“We are genuinely thrilled to have the opportunity to feature such renowned, innovative footwear on our website and in store, and have incredibly high hopes for the popularity of the Five Ten brand amongst our customers,” commented a spokesperson for E-Outdoor. "We offer a comprehensive fitting and size guide, extensive customer feedback and a 30 day returns policy on all Five Ten footwear featured on our site, so our customers can easily find the perfect shoes for their requirements and purchase from us without fuss. We look forward to seeing the Five Ten brand prove to be a successful and profitable addition to our website."

Burton Announces New Trends for Spring/Summer 2011
Burton reveals its new trends for the springs/summer season 2011.
The big trend this season is Burton's Army Surplus range, which carries on the military details of autumn/winter 2010 but gives it a softer reworking for the warmer months of the spring and summer season. These pieces are designed to make the transition from winter into spring with minimal effort, creating a laid back look that doesn't veer too far from the fashion rule book.
The Army Surplus trend features pieces such as waffle knit and cable knit cardigans, vintage style T-shirts, camouflage prints, worker style denim jeans, chinos such as the new 'o leg' chino, classic long sleeved shirts with added details on the pockets and shoulders and lightweight khaki parka jackets. The key colours for this look are grey, khaki and stone, which work together to create a look of mixed textures and tonal colours.
Burton has also increased its exclusive leisurewear Drift King range for this season after its success last year. The Drift King range now includes denim jeans, polo shirts, T-shirts, shorts, hoodies and checked shirts. These looks can be finished off with the addition of boat shoes or flip-flops.
The Drift King range is designed to look right at home at a summer music festival, while creating a masculine silhouette that is not trying too hard but is still cool. It is also versatile enough to be worn throughout the entire spring/summer season, allowing customers to create an entire seasons' wardrobe with a few key pieces.

Asheville men's dance festival celebrates male performers
There are only two rules for participants in the Asheville Contemporary Dance Theatre's Men's Dance Festival, returning Friday-Sunday.
You must dance. And you must be a man, according to dancer and director Giles Collard.
This results in a wild mix of ages and experience, from amateur to professional, as well as styles of dance performed, from belly dancing to break dancing. The festival pieces are probably best described as performance art rather than traditional dance acts.
"It's a great, fun festival," Collard said. "I would say that most of the pieces in the festival are humorous."
That's been the tone of the festival since it began in 2002. Organizers are even having fun with the "men-only" concept during intermission. They serve those stereotypically masculine munchies — wings — with beer.
Collard, who also teaches dance, took a three-year break from producing the festival because of his other commitments through Asheville Contemporary Dance Theatre and is happy to return the event to the stage.
This year, 20 men will be dancing, singing and producing performance art. Local festival participants include Joe Mohar, tap dancer; Jim Julien, performance artist and puppeteer; and Collard and Douglas Haynes performing some of their humorous duets.
They will do "Shoes," which has become "the mascot piece of the festival," Collard said. "It is so athletic; we are literally bouncing off the walls. It is so funny."
The dancers wear shoes on their hands and charge at each other like bulls, Collard noted.
He was inspired to start the festival after traveling all over the world with the ACDT and finding almost every dance troupe consisting mostly of female dancers.
"It would always be like 60 women and one to six guys on stage," he said. "The only place was Cuba, where there were as many men as women."
And it's not that there aren't male dancers out there who want to perform, Collard said. "We have such good dancers in town," he said.
For each festival, Collard does a weekly workshop for usually about six weeks before the performances. "I do an abstract class with a concept that (participants) have to develop. … They create their own phrases, and then every night we create a different piece of choreography," he said. A couple of these pieces will appear in the festival.
The event has also helped inspire men in the audience to pursue dance.
"It's also motivating," Collard said. "I teach a boy's class and men's workshops. I have had quite a few men that saw the festival and got involved in my classes."
