The VCS and Lace-Up Anasazi climbing shoes by Five Ten are the top selling performance rock shoes in Europe. The VCS offers more sensitivity for pulling on holds on steep rock--a powerful tool for extreme sport climbing. This is a second-generation Anasazi known as the "V2," and if you're familiar with the originals, prepare to be amazed.
Although the Anasazi V1 (formerly known as the Anasazi Velcro) from Five Ten led the high-performance shoe category for years, new technology has allowed them to make it even better. The V2's have new Stealth® Onyxx™ rubber, with 25 percent more friction and twice the durability of other rubbers. The Anasazi VCS and lace ups also have Five Ten's new Happy Fingers heel, with more comfort and security than ever. Designed by Charles Cole. Test team includes Evo, Jibe, Chris Miller, Mario Lacedelli, Michi Weiser and Noah Bigwood.

Comments about Five Ten Anasazi VCS V2 Climbing Shoe:
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.

Comments about Five Ten Anasazi VCS V2 Climbing Shoe:
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.

Comments about Five Ten Anasazi VCS V2 Climbing Shoe:
Great shoe, buy a half or whole size smaller for sure. The velcro is nice, and I have no complaints so far.

Comments about Five Ten Anasazi VCS V2 Climbing Shoe:
I borrowed my daughter's shoes when I left mine at the trailhead. Couldn't believe how well they edged AND how comfortable they were in cracks. She climbs 5.12 and competes, I'm the middle-aged climber who wished my mom had taken me climbing at age 11. After that day, I had to get my own pair! Stiffer and better on small Smith dime-sized edges than my Miuras, but WAY more comfortable than my lace-ups. She has a really narrow foot and mine is average, but we both love this shoe!

Not super aggresive, but a fine shoe for general use.

Comments about Five Ten Anasazi VCS V2 Climbing Shoe:
The grip of these shoes is great! Much better than my old Evolv's. The fit is fantastic and the wear on the shoes after a few months of use seems acceptable so far.

Comments about Five Ten Anasazi VCS V2 Climbing Shoe:
The Anasazi Velcros are still one of the most popular shoes on the market. Fit great right out of the box and being Five Ten, they have the stickiest rubber. I have worn these on trad routes, bouldering, sport routes, indoor. They do it all. Only drawback? They get very stinky after wearing for a while.
