Well, I have been a climber for almost twenty years. I have climbed everything from 5.8 to 5.14 and v0 to v12. I always look to Five Ten for new and amazing shoes. The Galileo is no exception, I've had at least three pair since '06. For long ascents, 60m sport routes, bouldering, or trad the Galileos are the best bang for your buck! If you have had a pair of the Five Ten Anasazi the Galileos are a great step up.

Good Shoe - I just purchased these shoes a week ago and since then I was excited just to get them and take them to a wall. I am very impressed with the stealth onyx rubber, great performance. I ordered them a half size larger then my street shoe, I wear an 11.5 normally. And they are still very snug but still comfortable I expect them to stretch a bit based on other people so far I am completely happy with these shoes. They are very supportive they don’t bend easily so if you’re a bigger person like me I weigh 205 and am 6 ft tall they are awesome.

The shoe for heavy climbers. After trying different shoes from different brands, this is definitely the best for big climbers. I'm a bodybuilder so a stiff shoe really helps for climbing. This shoe was the stiffest I found, and fit was very good, though it took me 2 tries to get it right (thanks to Zappos' excellent return policy!). As far a sizing, I had tried various La Sportiva shoes, and for those, a size 9 fit me perfectly. For the Five Tens, I had to go to a size 10 (similar for my Five Ten biking shoes).

Get these shoes - The Galileo offers great performance and great fit. They don't have the scratchy seams of the Anasazi and they mold to the foot very quickly. Also, they can comfortably accommodate an average female foot.

Great shoes - These shoes are great. The rubber is super sticky and they have a good heel.

Five Ten Galileo - These are very stiff and supportive. They're great for edging and the stickiness of the Onyx rubber makes them work pretty well for smearing too. The heal fits great with no signs of the air pockets for which the older Anaszis were notorious. They fit me pretty small and I had to go up a half size from my street shoes, but they hold my toes curled just right now.

Great Shoe - Very, very good rubber and a much improved heel for 5-10. Velcro closure is convenient and fast. Just one recommendation...if you are in between sizes go with the bigger of the two since this is an unlined shoe and it will not stretch. I wear 9.5-10.0 street and after suffering with a 9.5 pair for a month finally went to 10.0 and I'm not regretting if for a moment (fit is still fairly aggressive but not ridiculous). Overall great shoe go with street size and go up if in between sizes.

Fit great out of the box, the lining is smooth and comfy - no seams! I bought them curling tight, and they've held their shape quite well. Impressively powerful toes and heels (much better than the Anasazi's which are too bulky and low, in my oppinion). The only issue, which is completely cosmetic, is that these shoes get really dirty looking fast, even gym climbing.

Good Shoe - I climb indoors about three days a week 5-6 hours at a time and these shoes are comfortable enough to wear with only a few breaks to let my feet breath. The rubber is very sticky.

I bought these shoes in a bind because I wore out the toe in my La Sportiva Miuras and had to send them to be re-soled. I sized them a half size down from my street shoes and they fit tight, but not painfully so. The first time I wore them I didn't even think to remove them until after belaying the second up to my belay station. So far, I think they are similar in fit and performance to the Miuras. I climb mostly granite slabs and finger and hand cracks at a moderate level (5.6-5-10). Hopefully they will stretch a tiny bit and the Onyx rubber will wear. I climb outdoors two times a week and my Miuras lasted almost a year before they needed to be re-soled. If I had to choose between the two, I would choose the Miuras because the speed lacing is just as fast to get on and off as the Velcro, and it definitely allows you to fine tune the fit better. Next pair of shoes I'm getting is TC Pros; expensive, but based on rave reviews of everyone that has them, well worth it.
