Not satisfied with the already-legendary performance of the original Anasazi Lace-Up, Five Ten introduces the Anasazi V2 Climbing Shoe with a new fit and features for improved performance. The first to go was the old shoe's baggy heel (we can hear the cheering from here), which Five Ten replaced with a snug-fitting cup. The Anasazi V2 Lace-Up now includes a synthetic lining to minimize stretching and provide a tailored fit from day one until they finally get retired. For those who don't know, the Five Ten Anasazi V2 Lace-Up Climbing Shoe edges so well that dime edges feel like sidewalks, so pull on a pair and send your ultra-technical project.
Bottom Line: Welcome to the future of precision footwork—the Five Ten Anasazi V2 Lace-Up Climbing Shoe.
Okey right out of the box they feel pretty stiff and a little baggy in the heel but I think that a half size smaller would been painful, I have this in 9 1/2 US. The sizing is about a half size smaller than the green ones and one and a half size smaller than the miuras. In Miuras I'm 41 EU, in Anasazi verdes I'm 9 US and in street an hiking shoes I'm 9 1/2.
I frigging love these shoes, and for edging think they are unbeatable. After climbing in just about every shoe under the sun, these are some of my favorites for face climbing where the feet are small and technical. Once they are broken in the shoes smear really well too and this is when the shoe really starts to shine as a dominator of all things rock. Low profile heel sinks into heal hooks like pirana teeth, and the rubber is five ten which means it's the stickiest rubber know to man.. you can walk on ceilings and scale vertical glass surfaces...ok not really, but you definitely can stand on a cross-section of a dime.
If I'm going to be micro edging for my life, these are my shoes of choice, and once they are broken in a bit, they really strike the perfect balance between smearability and edgineering. Go to europe for a sport climbing trip, and you'll see these things all over the place!

I just got a pair of the blancos in a size 10, which is half a size smaller than my street shoes. The shoe fits my right foot like a dream, but my slightly bigger left foot is much tighter - almost too uncomfortable.
Does anyone know if these shoes will stretch any? Or should I go half a size larger? I know it's synthetic, but synthetic shoes sometimes stretch too...
You're right, synthetic shoes will stretch a little....probably about 1/4 a size. If the right foot fits perfectly now and the left is too tight, I'd recommend sticking with this current pair. (Fair warning, I usually boulder and wear my shoes so tight it hurts).
If the left is just too tight, you can sometimes buy a different size for your left foot and right foot (dealers will usually charge a few more bucks, but it's worth it to get a good fit). Happy climbing!
I can't speak to longevity, because I've only worn these a few times so far. These are perfect edging shoes. Great for those tiny nubs, edges and pockets. I haven't used them in cracks yet, but they seem like they'r probably do pretty well. The rubber is as sticky as the Five Ten rubber is rumored to be. The only complaint I have is the fit. It's "interesting" The toe box seems like it's designed for a more loose fit, not a lot of room for your toes to curl up, maybe I have longer toes than usual? But to keep the heel from being super baggy you have to size these so that your toes curl a bit, not a lot, but some and it feels kind of wrong. All that aside, it's something I'll deal with because it's not that bad. I would buy these shoes again in a minute. I wear a size 11.5 street shoe and I went with an 11 in this shoe for the fit that I'm happy with.
These shoes not only work great for tiny edges, but they also wrap sharp aretes and hook well. I use them for technical climbs when a more aggressive shoe is unnecessary and would be uncomfortable. They did a great job re-vamping the heal cup. No more foot farts!
This shoe is super comfortable, and excels on technical climbs. I was worried that it wouldn't edge as well after the sharp lip wore off the sole, but They are still edging like brand new after several months of regular climbing. The heel is a bit baggy, but it still hooks really well. I have never slipped off a heel hook in these shoes. Love 'em.
I've comfortably worn the original Anasazi LU size 45 (US12) for many years. Can I expect the same fit with the slack heel cut out? If not, how is the sizing different due to the advertised "new" fit? Thanks for any input!!
I just got Anasazi Lace Ups and I must say these shoes are my second pair of this new design, I had 8 pairs over the year's of the Pink version and this new design works even better. I can edge on dimes, even on overhanging rock. The heel got redesigned and I think it fits even better than it did before, now I have much more confidence when healing. I wear them Trad climbing quite a bit, as well as long routes and bouldering. I would not think twice about buying these Puppies.
Shoe smear and edge really well! I bought my street shoe size; a bit tight on the toes at first, but after a few climbs they felt great. The only gripe i have which isn't too bad is the heel is a tad bit baggy. Heel hooking doesn't seem to be effected, but it would be nice if it was snugger. Would i recommend this shoe? yes 100%!
Yes these definitely fit in a mens size, and I've found that they fit slightly tighter than the anasazi velcro if that helps!! For a womans foot there is also the anasazi low volume! A great shoe!
I am almost certain that it is men's sizes. I have a 8.5 in this and other Five Ten climbing shoes, and they fit true to size for me so... Anyway, hope that answered your question.
I~ve only used these shoes in the gym, cant wait to get out on real rock to use them. A full size smaller than your regular shoe is plenty, as the heal cup is super aggressive. I used to go down a size and a half to even 2 sizes with other shoes, couldnt get my foot in a size 9, I`m a 10.5 sneaker.
The shoes edge well and the sole is thick enough to last a while but... the heel of these shoes just does not cut it. The heel is baggy and I say this as a person with generally wide feet. The way the sole wraps up in the back also creates a wierd loose spot. I have a friend who swears by Anasazi and kept claiming the heel brakes in but its been a solid 100 routes now and no dice. Bottom line, if you try a few sizes of the shoe and the heel never seems quite right its not going to get better with time.
I love the pinks, and the Anasazi VCS classic, both in size 8.5 (I'm a size 10 in my running shoes). The new design has a different heel that does "fit better" with less empty space in the heel cup, but the side effect is that the slingshot effect of the heel rand is less aggressive. So much so that I need to move down a half size to 8 to get the same ridiculous edging ability as before. It seems to me that they are using a thicker C4 sole on the new models as well, putting a little too much rubber under the big toe edge. Nothing a good belt sander can't fix. The forefoot still fits my me like a dream and I prefer C4 to Onyx. I still give them 5 stars, but the pinks would get 6 stars.
Thanks. Totally helpful. I started at 44.5 with the pinks and made my way to 45 so I didn't suffer on long multi-P days. Love the pinks so I want to move to the V2 here - as the heal bag always drove me mad!!
Maybe I'll go back to 44.5 as it sound you've noticed a half-size change.
Or I maybe male-broadening is a fact and my feet ain't getting any smaller and a 45 will be just fine. Ha!
Like the old pinky lace ups, these shoes edge with the best of them, but I have to ask: is the heel really redesigned? The pinkies had terrible heels and these don't seem any better to me. I absolutely love the shoe when it comes to power edging, but the heel has got to be over hauled for real.
Okey right out of the box they feel pretty stiff and a little baggy in the heel but I think that a half size smaller would been painful, I have this in more...
I frigging love these shoes, and for edging think they are unbeatable. After climbing in just about every shoe under the sun, these are some of my favorites more...
