Let me start off by saying that I personally have been climbing for about a year and a half in mainly a indoor gym and that I mainly boulder v5 to v6. I have also owned these shoes for about 6 months now and i have to say that since I got these shoes my climbing has improved greatly. The down turned toe may not be the best with vertical climbs but when your using it with overhangs, caves and especially bouldering.

The team 5.10's stealth rubber is one of the stickiest rubbers on the market and really helps with getting some of the smallest chips on the wall. The teams also have a good amount of rubber on the toe and a deep heel cup for remarkable toe and heal hooking on the hardest of routes.

As for sizing the team 5.10's its recommended to go with your street shoe size. I wear a 10.5 street, so I got the teams in 10.5. The shoe is really snug on the foot and feels like your wearing a rubber sock. The shoe wont really ever break in, so putting the shoe on 3 months later is going to feel like your putting it on for the first time. But after 30 minutes of wearing them in a day, the shoes really loosen up, but will return to being stiff.

The teams are one of fiveten's best bouldering shoes, hands down. Getting the damn shoe on your foot is a struggle, but once it's on you're ready to send like a champ. The heel cup is pretty deep, and the downturn is pretty savage. Too bad fiveten discontinued the Jet7, I much prefer the jets to these.

Three things to focus on:
1) This shoe is a weapon, hands down. It's very specialized; expect to be off your game if you're using it for very vertical routes, slab, dime edges, smearing, etc. Not crippled, but definitely not on your game.
However: the second you move to steep overhangs or caves, roofs, bouldering, precise toe points, heel hooks, toe hooks, foot drags, etc, you'll realize what you're wearing is a very very specific, technical shoe. PERFECT for overhung bouldering more than anything, i think.
2) size this shoe to break in. i bought the shoe in a SNUG size, and i don't regret it. It was difficult to get on, and hurt to wear for more than five or ten minutes at a time. But by week two, everything was PERFECT. Still very snug, but not uncomfortably so. The shape of the shoe has completely conformed to my foot perfectly; heel hooks are ROCK solid (moreso than i ever remember them being), and every part of my foot is touching part of the shoe. no dead space, no shifting, no nothing. Perfect fit...
3) as for sizing, the best frame of reference i have for you is the Evolv Pontas. I wear the Evolv Pontas in what is a PERFECT size 8 after a week or two of breaking in; i wear the Team 5.10 in what is a PERFECT size 9.5 after two weeks. I don't know why there's such an absurd difference in the sizing, but this is it. I can't speak for other brands, but if you wear Evolv and have your perfect aggressive sizing down (emphasis on aggressive; don't size this shoe like a multi pitch shoe or it'll be worthless), i'd bet a size and a half up is what you want in the Team 5.10. That said, i ended up with three sizes in hand before realizing which one was perfect... if you can't find a dealer locally, Backcountry has a phenomenal return policy.

Picked up a pair on sale a few weeks ago for a steal and they are definitely an interesting shoe. AS was said before, very specialized shoe made more for overhanging and precise routes. I was blown away by how much these helped on some technical overhanging projects I've been working on. Rubber is wicked sticky and the thin nature of it really helps you feel the holds out with your feet and make those micro-adjustments that you need. They climb pretty well outside of that realm, but there are better options out there if you're going more vertical.
AS far as sizing goes, I had to size up 1.5 sizes for these. I'm normally a 10.5 street shoe and the 12 fit me well. I have a feeling anyone with a bit narrower feet can probably get away without sizing up as much as I did on these. Much better after a few week break in period. For reference; I'm a comfortable 43 in Scarpas.

Pretty much like the title says. This shoe is up there with the best aggressive bouldering shoes on the market right now. The toe sticks to anything on the wall. I'm a huge fan of heel hooks, and this shoe definitely likes them too. Never any slippage within the shoe.
I wear a 10.5 street shoe and bought these as a 10.5 also, and they are TIGHT. Probably so tight because I have wide feet. After 4 months with them, they still hurt to wear for 30 minutes straight. At first, I could only wear them for about 10 minutes at a time. But, before they start to hurt, they feel absolutely great and sooo precise. Durability is good for now, but I can already definitely see some wear on the toe tips.
Being my first pair of super aggressive shoes, the Team's have definitely improved my fluidity on the wall since I practically dont even have to worry about footholds now.

My other shoes are the Scarpa Vapors, which are an excellent shoe, decently aggressive and asymmetrical which I bought a size and half down from street shoe which is a 9.5. The vapors have now become my comfort shoes compared to my Teams, these incredibly aggressive shoes with an amazingly sensitive down-turned toe are my shoes I put on when I need that extra edge to complete a project. I know most people go same as street shoe on the Teams but I had to up to size 10, and after having them for a few months they are broken in, and work on anything. the tiniest of micro footholds feel like ledges, and overhung walls feel like climbing slab with these shoes. I was told you should only use them for climbing the toughest problems, but I am presently in the V4 V5 range and these shoes are what have broken me out of that plateau. If you need that extra push these shoes are it. Be prepared for a tight and slightly painful shoe but feel like you might as well be cheating when you put these on.

I wore an 8.5 in Dragons and had to move up to a 9 in the Team 5.10. The 8.5s I received first were foot crushingly small. I returned them for 9s and they are still very tight, but in a good way. They are shaping up to be better than the Dragons so far and that's saying a lot. I had trouble with the Dragons getting pulled off on difficult heel hooks even if I tied them very very tight. The teams, even though they aren't lace ups, have yet to pull off on a heel hook. They toe just as well as the Dragons and toe hook much more solidly. Next time they go on sale, I might buy another pair to have when my current ones wear out.

Shoe works great on overhung walls and tiny dime edges. Fit is extremely tight I recommend going up a full size (From street shoe) do to the aggressive nature of the shoe. Furthermore the shoe toe hooks like a champ. Heel cup is very nice as well not like the Anasazi. So buy the shoe you won't regret it.

Sensitivity on this shoe is amazing, break in time sucks. While the shoe is not as snug around the instep like the solution, the rubber and heals are incredible. Shoe size is one above your street shoe and it will be tight. Break in time is about 2 weeks of average climbing (2-3 times per week). Overall, good buy and will be even better when I can stop tapeing some of my toes to keep the rub impact down. The shoe works

I got these shoes a couple of weeks ago, and these are me impressions so far:
Design wise, the rubber on the toes is much thinner than in the V10, which I thought was way too thick. This gives you much better feel when toe hooking, plus the small holes allows for better ventilation. The heel is great, I like that they added some rubber on the outer part, which the Dragons lacked and made heel hooking in some positions a bit painful and not very efficient. They are supper sensitive, very tiny edges on vertical walls too long make it a bit painful, but on the other hand make them amazing on overhangs, especially on small pockets. I used to have LaSportiva, but after trying Five Ten, I was hooked, the rubber has much more friction and lasts longer.
Sizing seems to be a bit of an issue in general. As a reference I wear a size 10US (EUR43 aprox.) in the Five Tean Teenie Guide (and pretty much all street shoes). In climbing shoes (all with a very snug fit for sport climbing and bouldering) I have worn: Five Ten VCs (new model) in 7,5US, LaSportiva Katana in 38 ½ EUR, LaSportiva Tesatarrossa and Venom in 39 ½ EUR, and Evolve Bandit in 8US (owned only 1 pair; rubber simply washed away in a bit over a month). I bought the Five Ten Team in 8US fearing that going a full size larger would be too much, and I must admit I was wrong, they are too small, I used those shoe stretchers but I think it would be better to get ½ size larger; I RECOMMEND A FULL SIZE LARGER THAN IN YOUR VCs!!!

This is a really good shoe. First of all, if you get the right fit, there is virtually no dead space in the heel. I wear a 9 in the anasazi, which is my street shoe size, and i sized up to a 9.5 in these and they're perfect. A little painful and tough to get on but that is to be expected at first. The rubber is noticably stickier than C4 and onyx, but i'd say it is too close to call between the mystique and HF. I also own the Jet 7's and the teams run about a half size smaller. the mystique rubber cap on the top of the teams is far superior to the "green" rubber upper of the jet 7's, which isn't actually very sticky. also, the split tongue upper of the jet 7's is bulkier than the elastic upper on the teams. overall they are a super aggressive, very sticky shoe that fits very well with a low profile.

I've worn Evolv Pontas, and five ten Galileo in size 41.5, so I ordered the same size for my Team five ten's.They are no where close in the sizing. It really annoys me how off the sizing is, because they are beautiful shoes, and once I get a size that fits They'll probably be 5 stars.I'm going to have get these in 43 or 43.5. I also held them up to a pair of Cobra's size 39, and the Team was about a centimeter shorter even at 41.5. When are climbing companies going to standardize sizing? Is it hard to measure the sole in milimeters?

P.S. I could have avoided this by calling the company and getting a recommendation based on my foot measurements.

Great shoe for bouldering and sport routes. These shoes edge to perfection. The stealth mystique rubber is the best five ten has ever made with stealth HF a close second. This shoe runs small, I went with my street shoe size 10.5 in the team. The shoe was almost impossible to get on and once I did, the pain was intense. I would recommend you size a half size up from your street shoe. I wear a size 10 in the project, dragon, v10 and a 9.5 in the moc.

Pros:
-Exceptional rubber
-Shoes maintains its aggressive form
-Great feel thanks to 3.5mm sole
-updated heel eliminates dead space

Cons:
-Synthetic linning is a bit rough
-Extremely aggressive design may not fit all climbers
-size runs smaller than comparable 5.10 dragon and V10

This is, in my opinion, the best downturned shoe 5.10 has made. I've never had the best of luck with the fit of 5.10's shoes, but have always loved the way they climb, so I would sacrifice a little to get performance, until now. These fit perfectly. Everything I hated about the V10 has been fixed, namely the heal cup, and the strap is money. Grab em up while you can, who knows if they'll change them after this limited time release.
