Comments about Five Ten Team 5.10 Climbing Shoe:
These are great shoes, as long as you size them right to your feet, i used to have dragons, and these are just as good so far, actually even better, heel and edge just as good, but toe hook much better than the other 5 ten shoes!

Comments about Five Ten Team 5.10 Climbing Shoe:
I wear a size 10-10.5 street shoe and went with five ten's advice to order this shoe same as your street shoe size because "It fits smaller than other five ten shoes"! These shoes were painful and narrow in size 10s so I upgraded to the dragons, which are a similar fit, in 10.5 and fits perfectly. Get the correct size and you'll make spider-man look like a [*] .

Comments about Five Ten Team 5.10 Climbing Shoe:
Great shoe, the sensitivity in the toe is really nice. Fit is good but sizing is bizarre. I wear an 8 anasazi velcro and now wear a 9.5 team shoe and like my shoes tight. My only complaint is the heel. It is a bit sloppy and does not snug to my heel well. I have to load up heel hooks and let the shoe move a bit before I really pull on it.

Comments about Five Ten Team 5.10 Climbing Shoe:
these shoes are great for really steep short climbs. They are uncomfortable however and hard to get on, they usually stay in reserves for the hard routes.

Comments about Five Ten Team 5.10 Climbing Shoe:
This shoes is totally different from conventional
type of 5.10 shoes.
Down toes and shunk is prety good but size is
rather smaller. I recommend you choose half or 1
size larger than one of your regular size.

Comments about Five Ten Team 5.10 Climbing Shoe:
much like the dragons. heel fits me better. the pull tabs are too small for my fingers to fit in and too thin. best shoes on the market!
Comments about Five Ten Team 5.10 Climbing Shoe:
good shoe, my foot is a little skinny for it but thats just me, i've been told they're less stiff then the V10s, they do run small took me a couple of tries to get the right size

Comments about Five Ten Team 5.10 Climbing Shoe:
This shoe is pretty amazing! I sized up a half size from my street shoe, and these things fit like a glove. I have used these shoes both in the gym and outside, and so far it looks like the teams are going to hold their shape very well. I don't usually like 5.10's heel, but these are perfect! The added velcro strap also helps hold your foot in place while hooking. Can't complain, good job 5.10!

Comments about Five Ten Team 5.10 Climbing Shoe:
having been a climber for 20 years now, in addition to a 5.10 fan.
i must say if your thinking of getting this shoe GO UP ONE FULL SIZE from your street shoe.
i've been climbing in the velcro anasazi for ten plus years and i size down a 1/2 size from my street shoe.

Comments about Five Ten Team 5.10 Climbing Shoe:
It is obvious to me that this shoe is the resurrection and improvement of 5.10's famous V10s as its design closely mimics them. Climbers have been begging 5.10 to bring back the V10's since they stopped making them and this is what they have brought us. The addition of the velcro strap addresses the V10's only shortcoming; heel hooking making this shoe the best shoe since the V10's and the dragons IMO. Also they cut down on the rubber in the heel section so the shoe fits to the shape of your heel, not vise versa.
This shoe climbs great on overhanging rock and feels extremely comfortable on the foot. It is flexible and is just as good a heel hooker as the dragons, if not better. It does not toe in quite as well as the dragons or the V10's because of this new lump they put on the shoe but more on that later. It also takes about 1/3 the time to put on this shoe as it does the Dragons.
The shoe does have a few shortcomings. 5.10 is notorious for their pulltabs breaking. Their solution: thinner pulltabs? That makes no sense. I feel they should have beefed them up to be thick like La Sportiva shoes. Finally 5.10 started putting in these lumps right at the edge of the toe. Why they did this I do not know. I feel that the toe should come to a sharp point like they did on the dragons and the V10. Consequentially I feel it does not toe in as well as other models.
All in all this is a great shoe overall. Nice blue color, comfortable, flexible, good heel hooker, and quick to put on. I just hope they decide to change the toe to the old design, and beef up the pull tabs. Other than that, great job 5.10. Thumbs up. And thank you RC.

Comments about Five Ten Team 5.10 Climbing Shoe:
I only use the shoe outdoors specifically because it is my new baby and feel obligated to put it to its true use in nature. I feel that it is safe to say that this shoe is a mix between the v10 and the projects. Giving unbelievable power with sensitivity like no other downturned shoe. The balance between the two aspects allows me to feel the tiniest footholds and pull off of them with ease.
Additionally, the velcro strap is an additional plus, holding my foot in when the velcro stretches out, not as well as the dragons, but it gets the job done for a solid heel hook

Comments about Five Ten Team 5.10 Climbing Shoe:
These shoes are great! The new rubber works awesome here on the Chattanooga Sandstone. My only suggestion is to order your street shoe size, or higher. DO NOT try to size them down like the Project or Anasazi. I love using them for some steep overhangs!
