The Copperhead climbing shoe by Five Ten looks like your standard hard climbing slipper, but really its a crack climbing master. With a cool, side lacing system you can dial in a great fit while the location of the laces allow you to jam your foot into a crack without getting your foot stuck or ripping your laces. Genius.
Indian Creek can offer up some really hard routes and the Copperhead is designed just for these splitters. With the Stealth Onyx rubber you can smear and stand on some of the smallest holds and smear in the tiniest of cracks with the confidence that at least the rubber will hold. The outsole has reduced volume so there is much more sensitivity in the toe of the shoe while preventing your feet from rolling on tiny edges as the side lace system allows you to dial in a tight fit.
Features
- Side lacing system for a great fit and better fit in the crack
- Stealth Onyx rubber that grips to anything
- Lower outsole volume allows for much more sensitivity
- Extended toe rubber enhances your crack climbing precision

Comments about Five Ten Copperhead Climbing Shoe:
Replaced my worn out pair of moccasyms with these. They feel pretty much the same but are easier to get in and out of. I like the thicker rand as I seem to wear these out first. These seem to fit my short wide feet better than most. Buy em one size small because like the moccasyms, they will stretch. I've used these on cracks, slabs, roofs, you name it and they worked pretty well all around. I would say that they are maybe a little cumbersome for small edging. And if you don't wear socks, be prepared to have orange feet every time you take these off. I've had my moccasyms for over 10 years and they still turn my feet red, but I'll take leather over synthetic any day.

Comments about Five Ten Copperhead Climbing Shoe:
The product looked like a good replacement for Mocs when climbing splitter cracks. The problem is that the increased rubber on the toe makes it harder to get your toes in the small sizes where Mocs work so well. For bigger sized crack, this shoe works ok, but so do many others. The side lacing system looked like a good idea, but I've found it difficult to really crank the laces tight like you can on normally laced shoes.
