My trusty poair of FiveTen Dirtbags (low) are on their way out but no longer made. Can't find anything I like to replace them and the reason I like them are the rounded tow box for my wide toes, rather than slim / pointy like most others appear to be.

Any suggestions?

I have also been mourning the loss of the Dirtbag low. The soles are going in mine but they are so comfy I use them as carpet slippers in the house.
I also have a pair of Sleuth's which are pretty close to the Dirtbags.

I just got a spanky new pair Freeride Canvas for the summer, which are lovely, but obviously a lot heavier than the Dirtbags.. I have had my original Freerides for around 6 years now, still no sign of them giving up

Me and all. Newest pair for riding to work and casual shoeing, older pair for mtbing, 2 older pairs with ripped through soles for gardening. tube of shoe goo waiting to sort those out. Annoying, because the suede upper is in great shape on the older pairs.

Aye, but only the mid(-height, or ankle) version.

I like to come back to these things - I just took delivery of 5:10 Sleuths, which seem a worthy replacement of the dirtbags.

The Sleuth and Spitfires are both great. Loving the orange and grey Spitfires, and I found some bright lime green laces to pimp up the grey Sleuths...
