Five Ten

Comfortable, stylish, seems like it's durable. Has high top area which is important for me.

Over the past 16 years of climbing I have owned many pairs of climbing shoes and these are right up there with the best. The downturn is good but not too much, the laces are great (when you pull to tighten they stay in place) the lined cowdura is comfortable (for climbing shoes) and the rubber is great. Overall these are great shoes, partly due to Zappos' great policies. What I mean by that is that had I bought these from another site I would have paid a fortune in shipping back and forth to get the right size. I wear street shoes in size 10 and usually size down a full size to get my preferred fit (crunched toes) for the performance I desire. I was looking for a slightly more comfortable fit with these so I could stand to have them on for longer periods of time so I ordered a 9½ and a 10 thinking there was no way I would fit the 10 but just to be safe got both sizes. Both were too small! I sent them back for a size 10½, still too small for what I was looking for (slightly bent toes). I would like to point out that the 10½ was the same physical (not tag) size as another pair of my climbing shoes which were a size 9. I finally settled on a size 11! I have never worn an 11 and it seems a bit absurd that I would fit an 11 in climbing shoes. That aside the shoes themselves are great. Lastly I have a slightly low volume foot and tying the laces tight yielded ridiculously long amounts of extra lace. I contacted 5.10 hoping for some shorter laces and was completely blown off. I was very disappointed that after paying as much as these shoes cost that they could not sacrifice a pair of laces to help make the overall fit better. So bottom line, great shoes, not so great sizing and not so great customer experience with 5.10. Zappos was perfect as always and I cannot praise their customer service team enough for helping me find the perfect pair of shoes.

Great pair of very comfortable shoes. In addition I ordered the pair of blue Guide Tennies as well, as I couldn't make up my mind which color to choose. After trying them - I kept both pairs, keep wearing them every day to work. Thanks Zappos!

Love this shoe for setting routes, I don't usually have to put my climbing shoes. Definitely run small by about a half size but I actually like that for setting purposes, but if you're trying to hike and climb in them go a half size up. They're really sticky and have a nice hard edge so they dig into small holds pretty well. Can even heel hook in them!

An excellent vertical face climbing shoe. The edging is fantastic and the fit is comfortable. Select the same size as you wear in a street shoe for the best results. Be warned however, the rubber is extremely slick out of the box. You need a couple sessions breaking them in for the rubber to get sticky.

Definitely has the look of a rock climbing shoe and fit my narrow heeled, wider toe box well, very well but there was not much arch support and my orthotic did not fit in it in the arch section. This was my first Five Ten and I would come back to try it again sometime. The shoe itself is a great looking run around shoe but if there was a second set of laces like one of the reviewers indicated, they weren't there so if orange is not really your color, you are out of luck! The sole is definitely sticky but the plastic arch area (the light colored plastic in the sole) was a little strange (noisy) and not supportive enough nor pliant enough for my insert to fit. They feel a bit like of Merrell sandals (tho their shoes are a bit too narrow now in the toe area for me) so if you like Merrell and don't use orthotics, then the Five Ten Guide might work well for you! I ordered my "real" size 7.5 Medium and they were fine with my running socks. And, these shoes are lightweight!

Very wide. Hit my cranks no mater how much I moved the cleat. They are very stiff and caused heel lift because the sole is so stiff.

The grippy rubber on the bottom of this shoe is great. It's not the best looking shoe, like another reviewer said, but it's not bad. The red in the picture is much pinker in person - I wasn't thrilled about that, but it will dirty-up once I wear them outside. The shoe is a little stiff, but I'm sure in time they'll wear-in. Overall, good cushioning, cute enough. We'll see how they do on the trail!

These were a little snug at first, but I feel that they molded to my feet better after my first hike & scramble (approximately 4 miles). They are super sticky and great on the rocks. Watch out for loose crap as these can get a little slippery on that kind of terrain. Another fellow hiker has these and loves them.

The intent of my purchase was to get a soft soled shoe to stick well with platform pedals. I was directed to these among others buy 5-10's online support (try them, they're very fast to reply and very helpful at least to a beginner like me). I've had these out only 5-10 times now but I'm hooked. I can't talk to the wear that others have expressed concerns on but they do stick! For those not ready to hit that 6" bridge on the trail with clipless yet, these are worth looking at. Comfort is moderate only because they have to be stiff for pedaling and likewise with arch support so don't take that as a negative. I'd gripe about energy loss to the pedal if they weren't stiff. Some have mentioned shoe size for 5-10s run large but for Freeriders I concur with the other reviews of this line that they are true to size. I'm a newbie to MTB but for what it's worth, I really like these shoes!

Considerably more comfortable than the blackwings due to the leather uppers. Shoes with synthetic uppers are hit or miss becuase either they fit perfect out of the box or don't and then they won't stretch a bit in the hot spots. The downturned toe is nice and they make a good shoe that has high performance but still relatively comfortable (if you can say that about high performance climbing shoes). They are perfect for gym bouldering where you don't need as precise of footwork as you do outdoors. Same sizing as the rest of the anazasi line.

These shoes rock! I purchased them specifically for biking with flat pedals and they stick like glue. The sizing offered for men/women (I am a female who wears a 9.5 to 10 in most shoes) is pretty accurate and they were good to go out of the box. They are a wide shoe and with having narrow feet I find I really readjust the laces to avoid that floaty feeling. The soles mark up my floors really bad to I try to limit them to outdoor use only. I replaced the insoles with a super feet and was good to go! Great shoe, I look forward to many, many fat tire adventures with these all terrain beasties.

Love this shoe. I got it because it looked like a cool kick-around shoe, but then I happened to go to Joshua Tree for a campout and wore these rock climbing...totally sticky, I felt like spider man. My only downside is that the sole looks pretty thin, so I am not sure how long they will last. Other than that they are great.

These are great shoes for hiking where you need traction. The sticky sole can't be beat. However, 5/10's sizing is horrible. I have several different pairs and they are all different. One is a size W10, one is a W9.5, and one is a W9. Once you get the correct size, the shoe works well. It is sturdy and durable.

The outsoles/bottoms leave black marks on everything and pick up mud easily. for a company that makes shoes for climbing and skating these shoes are a let down.

I wear a 9.5 Supermocc. Had to up size to an 11 just to get my foot in these. Honest, my foot wouldn't go in the 10.5. It's also extremely low-volume. Wide feet beware. That said, this is the best steep-sport/bouldering shoe I've come across. It's remarkably sensitive for how well it edges. The Mystique rubber is super sticky, mores o than the C4, and comparable to Grip2. We'll see how long it lasts. Love the sale price. There's a remodel coming out this year, and they have to get rid of inventory. Doesn't make this shoe any less awesome.

I bought these based on the reviews. I was looking for a shoe that I could wear when I'm out on my bike. I'd never heard of 5-10. These shoes are big and stocky; they feel comfortable if not a bit on the heavy side. I agree with the other reviewers, these shoes absolutely stick to your pedals. My bike pedals don't have clips, toe cages or anything, and these shoes are perfect. They're comfortable to wear around when you're not riding; something I could not say for the Chrome Kursks I bought and got rid of. The only thing that I don't like is that the shoes leave black marks all over our floors. I hope that wears off or goes away with time. One last thing, I have plantar fasciitis and I use the Birkenstock insoles and these shoes are very comfortable with the insoles, something that I can't say about a lot of other shoes.

These are the most comfortable hiking shoe I have ever worn. I went on a five-miler, and they were as comfortable at mile five as they were at mile one. I love the way they lace all the way to the toe. I would definitely buy another pair.

I recently made the transition from MTB clipless to platform pedals, and was looking for a good shoe. Several folks said to tryout the five tens, you can't go wrong.All I can say is this shoe is the best setup for platforms. They're comfortable, and stick like glue!! incredible. I cannot believe how well they grip. A perfect shoe for your platform!buy em! I love these shoes. They grip so well. It's truly is incredible.For any MTB'er who like platform pedals, this is your hookup.

This is my second pair of these. Super comfortable urban walker. Durable and flexible. Athletic styling may not be for everyone, but I love them.
