I purchased these shoes for a three-day hike at Yosemite. This is the second pair of Five-Ten shoes I've bought (the first was Insight, which I was very happy with). I wanted something with more ankle support. As per suggested in other reviews, I bought a half-size larger than I normally would. These shoes are normal width, but feel a bit shorter in length than their size number would suggest. My Five Ten Insight shoes were the same. I wore these for a few days before the hiking trip, in order to break them in. Out of the box, they were quite comfortable, but they were a bit tight against my pinky toes. During the hike, this became quite uncomfortable. Since then, they've become much more comfortable, and I've worn them on other one-day hikes with increasing comfort. My feet do get a bit tired after a day in these shoes though. I'm thinking I need to get better insoles. Like my other pair of Five Ten shoes, the Exum Guide shoes have unparalleled traction for which the brand is renowned for. I find it's very easy to traverse rocks and scale obstacles, and I have no problems with surfaces that other people find slippery when I'm wearing these shoes. While they're not as comfortable as other shoes, the soles have incredible traction, which I really appreciate.I really like the way Five Ten shoes are styled, and these are no different. The color scheme is a bit on the conventional side; the beige and black goes with everything. But the design is really neat, very cutting edge. Like other reviews, I would recommend getting a half-size, or even a full size larger than normal. Buy some good hiking socks to help make them more comfortable. You'll never have to worry about tripping due to lack of traction with these shoes. If anything, you'll be tripping over how well they grip surfaces.

I am a huge 5.10 fan owning about a dozen pairs of them. I have not yet really tested the Exum Guide but if it works like my other hiking/approach models it will be a winner. It seems to me to run a little on the small size as, even though I ordered a half size larger for heavy socks, I might have gone a full size larger. Probably they will break in and fit fine. The sticky rubber soles are amazing on rock and my other boots have done very well. I think I would prefer that they be a little higher like conventional boots. I have seen a comment on the lace guides not all being robust. I will have to see if they hold up. After a few years of hard use this will come out. I have only worn out one of my many pairs of 5.10 shoes and this was because of my snake proof leggings wearing against the back of the shoe. My current pair of Echo boots, unfortunately no longer made, have survived about 15 years of rattlesnake research in rocky bluffs and southern pine woods. Amazingly indestructable boots. I hope the Exum Guide is as rugged.

This is an amazing boot. You need to go a half a size larger. The soles are the stickiest I have ever seen. I also have a pair of the Camp Fours. I love them both.

5-10s will change the way you hike!
Still breaking these in, but they feel better every day. Have worn 5-10s for years, and you can't beat the traction they provide. Thought I'd try these for a little more ankle support. Great construction and a nice looking boot. Exceptional heel support. One word of caution: The fit is tight, and you may think you need a bigger size, but the more you wear them, the more they conform to your foot. Did I mention the traction? You put your foot down and it stays there: really helps give you confidence when hiking on sketchy terrain. 5-10s can be hard to find so Zappos was a blessing. Great Service! I'll certainly order from them again.

Great Shoe -
This is a fantastic shoe. They look as great in person as they do on the website! Excellent quality. They run a little small so order a half size up.

 |  | You guys are the best!!! I'm purchasing these boots for my niece's birthday and bringing them when I visit her at college next week. I could have gotten the boots elsewhere, but I knew positively I was going to get them from Zappos because of the great experiences I've had with you in the past. I knew if the size wasn't just right or she wanted a different color it would be a breeze to make the exchange. Thanks for always being so nice... customer service is a dying art, but you guys have GOT IT DOWN!!! Have a great day. Arlene L. |  | ~ Arlene L., October 28 2009
