Great Boot for River Hiking in the Smoky Mountains - I have used these boots in the rivers of the Great Smoky Mountains and love them. No pain when slick river rocks meet the ankle bone or when toes get wedged in rocks. This is a great boot for "river hiking". I appreciate the extra ankle protection! The sticky soles do well on very slick river rock.

Review of Five Ten Canyoneer 2 - Do what they're supposed to do: allow wading in creeks and rivers, entry to or exit from kayaks and canoes without slipping. Pretty edgy styling and color--something a bit stealthier would be good.

Great shoes. Grip well. Just trying to get used to the rub around higher ankle, other than that, they are great.

I bought these for their wet/dry Stealth Rubber grip on canoe trips. They're pretty stiff - more boot than shoe - and I started sockless so be warned. Either break 'em in first, wear mid-thickness socks or suffer the hotspot consequences. You don't need to open the front strap to get in and out. I thought, as an amphibious shoe, they'd have more drainage channels but this didn't seem to cause performance problems over a short trip. They should improve with use.

Get the right size - I just returned from 10 days of photography in the desert of southern Utah. The Canyoneer II is an excellent boot for any kind of rock, even sandstone (which is where I used them). I spent 10 days photographing various stoney landscapes with the Canyoneers. They were always sticky, comfortable, and warm. The shoes are true-to-size if you are wearing regular socks. However, if you plan to use neoprene socks, buy one size up for 2-4mm neoprene, and 1 1/2 sizes for 5-7mm neoprene. A company that rents these out near Zion Natioinal Park recommends 1 to 1 1/2 sizes larger than normal as well. You might consider a size larger if you are going to use any type of thick sock. Purchasing 1 1/2 sizes larger not only fit the neoprene perfectly, it also avoided any painful mashing of my toes in front. A bonus - the neoprene socks kept the toes surprisingly warm - even while hiking around in a foot of snow. The only drawback I found was that the straps are a bit stiff, especially when cold. They seem to be working-in a bit as time passes. If you think you want this shoe, then get it! You won't be disappointed. After my Utah trip, I will be using my Canyoneers in more places than just rocks. They allowed me to not worry about my footing while carrying two pro DSLRs, a tripod and other gear.

These shoes rocked!!! I wore these shoes on two occasions. Both times were at Zion National Park. The 1st time, it was during a regular hike. It was a 7.5 mile (dry) hike. The shoes were awesome then. Great grip on rocks and comfortable too. The weather wasn't hot so absorbing heat wasn't an issue. The 2nd time was a 16 mile hike through the narrows. A majority of this hike was through water which had numerous slippery rocks. These shoes had excellent grip even on those rocks. And the comfort was surprisingly good when it was wet, although I wore wet socks which I think added some more cushion. Overall, excellent shoes!!!!!!

My husband and I bought Canyoneers for a trip to Utah's National Parks. Neither of us is into technical climbing. However, we are still young enough to enjoy hiking, and old enough to be concerned about falls. The shoes were terrific. It was like being a gecko: our feet stayed anchored even at fairly steep angles. They were comfortable, too. We didn't have much time to break them in, and we didn't get the hint of a blister. Two notes: they run a bit small, and if you go wading, they will take a day or two to dry out.

Looked nice this web site, but once I received them, they were clunky and did not fit well. They are also NOT true to size. They are a half size too small. I am a size 15, but it felt like I needed a 15 and 1/2 to 16. It\'s too bad.

Simply put, there are no other products that even compare to the Canyoneer from Five Ten. If you enjoy doing conyoneering, especially wet canyons then you really need a pair of these shoes. I have been an avid climber and Canyoneer for over thirty years, I have guided climbing and canyoneering in and around Moab Utah and I can say with authority that these are the best shoes for the job. Not only does Five Ten have the stickiest rubber for the all important friction and scrambling, but they have also worked out the critical issue of drainage and fit. With these shoes, your feet won\'t end up blistered and pruned at the end of a day of slot canyons, and you will be running circles around anyone without Stealth rubber.

These Five Tens are great for holding their ground in rocky and muddy places, even where the vegetation is wet. They have good ankle support. I recently used them both in a canyoning and caving setting. They grip the terrain and take your mind off of the placement of your feet so you can really enjoy the environment you are out there to see. My entire family has a pair and we wouldn't travel without taking them along.

Thought they could have done a lot better. I wear size 10 in everything. I got 10-1\/2 beacuase that was all they had. My toes hit the end and they were very wide. There is also a rivet that hits on the inside of the foot. Generally I like every shoe I get so I am very unpicky. These shoes were just not that great. Next canyon I will just go back to tennis shoes. \r\n\r\nThe good thing about them is they seem to be durable.

I needed a water shoe that would protect my toes more than a standard neoprene bootie, having broken my big toe windsurfing. The Canyoneer 2 seemed like a good shoe, fit a tad large, but did not offer as much over the toe protection as the Keen Hood River.
