great for edging, and heel hooking. i got half size down from street shoes tight at first but they stretch a little bit fit great after about 3 or 4 sessions

If you could only have one shoe this should be it, great for all styles of climbing, but best for verty-techy climbing where you need to trust your feet.

I like this shoe for its versatility, but the heel is so cavernous that its difficult to get my foot to sit flush with the toe and the heel. Even sizing down doesn't help as the opening int he shoe doesn't allow for you to fully get your heel back all the way.

I am currently on my second pair of Anasazi Velcro's and without question I will always have a pair in my climbing bag. While they are marketed as high performance sport shoes, I feel that they are pretty good all arounders. They edge well, but also arent so down toed that you cant smear on a vertical face. They have a nice heel for hooking, but not as good at the Team 5.10's which are outstanding. One downside to these is there is not much rubber over the top of the toes for toe-hooking.
This shoe does stretch and for me I go a full 1.5 sizes down from my street shoe and after a short break in period, are amazingly comfortable. I can definitely go hours in these shoes at the gym or crag. By comparison the Team 5.10's really dont stretch much at all and I would recommend going exactly with your street shoe size unless you are a glutton for foot pain.
I would wholeheartedly recommend the Anasazi Velcro's esp if you like bouldering as well as sport climbing.

... for a reason. The Anasazi's are everything you could want from a climbing shoe. Perfect balance between comfortable and aggressive. Great on edges and on overhangs. Great wrap around your ankle, but easy to take off. Won't smell if properly taken care of. I own 11 pairs of climbing shoes including this one, and the Anasazi's are by far my favorite of them all.
The only problem I see with them is that I just wish I owned a 2nd pair. GET THIS SHOE, I repeat... GET THIS SHOE. I don't work for 5.10 by the way, but I DO LOVE this shoe. Can you tell?

I am a 10 and a half in street shoes and I bought these as a 10.5 and they were still a half size to small. After sending them back and getting a size 11 they are absolutely perfect the way the heel hugs is amazing and the stealth onyx rubber is amazing and the interior of the shoe fits like a glove. [...] I will be getting these shoes again when they finally die ..thanks 5.10 and rock creek for an excellent shoe

I just got these shoes and decided to test them outside doing sport climbing. These shoes were great! I have never had a climbing shoe fit so well and perform as well as these have. The rubber is super durable and sticky... the onyx stealth rubber cannot be beat! I wear a size 10.5 street shoe and a size 10 fit perfectly in these. Definitely go 1/2 size smaller.

use the shoe to boulder indoors and works like a charm at getting your foot in small pockets when you need to.

I love these shoes. My first pair was an 8.5 and I decided to bump the size up to a 9 for my new pair as the 8.5's were smaller than I wanted. I was somewhat surprised, however, to find that my new 9's fit much tighter than the 8.5's even after a long time stretching and fitting to my foot. Maybe there's still room for some stretching, but I'm beginning to think that's not the case. I can still wear them fine, though... just might've gone for a 9.5 instead. Other than that issue, I have no complaints; they're incredible shoes. The new Stealth ONYXX is great. No regrets on purchasing these shoes again.

These shoes provide a nice tight fit around the whole foot. I sized down a full size from my street shoe. The heel digs in a little at first, but once the shoes are broken in it is perfectly fine. The heel provides for good heel-hooking, perhaps the only area not perfect about these shoes. If you are looking for a shoe that does everything this is it.
