Five Ten Moccasym Climbing Shoe - 2006

The Five Ten Moccasym is a high-performance climbing shoe designed to excel at everything from the most difficult boulder problems to multi-pitch sport climbs. The Moccasym is a good second shoe for versatile climbers. The shape of the Moccasym's last was designed to strengthen your big toe for maximum front point power and precision. Moccasyms smear like no other and are firm enough to hold the foot on a thin edge or crack. Breathable split-leather uppers with elastic insole bands provide a skin-tight fit and sensitive feel. The patented side exit heel seam minimizes hot spots and blisters typically associated with seam stitching. Five Ten's innovative Stealth® C4 sole will assure you'll stick to the slickest of rock. Keep in mind that leather climbing shoes tend to stretch. You may want to purchase them one-half to one full size smaller than your normal shoe size. Most of the stretch will be in the width, although they will stretch a little in length.

Bottom Line: These shoes will perform well—you only need to provide the power.

Killer for smearing

By:
December 18, 2006

Although heel hooking in these shoes are not the best, when you need to smear your foot on just flat wall the moccasyms are the way to go. You can toe in on almost anything with these bad boys. You wont find better shoes to do slab in.

So far, a great shoe

By:
March 12, 2007

I've always heard of the 5.10 Moccasym as being a great climbing shoe, so, when the time came to get another pair resoled and I needed to have a backup, I decided to give them a try. I wear a size 12 and ended up getting into a size 11. They were uncomfortable at first, but after only a couple of times out they quickly molded to my foot and are very comfortable to wear. I've been very happy with 5.10's Stealth rubber compound--it's super tacky. They feel a little more loose on my foot that I'm used to, which takes a little getting used to, but I attribute that more to the fact that I'm used to a real tight lace-up. Given how they are feeling and performing at this point, they may just become my primary shoe and the ones I got resoled may be the backup...

Great shoe

By:
April 10, 2006

This was my first shoe ever, and since I have very wide feet, it was a very good choice. A very big factor in how well the shoe will break in is how much of the shoe is leather, because the rubber will not stretch. Having wide feet, this shoe formed really well to my foot and made climbing more about the wall rather than the pain of my feet.

alright

Just got these, great grip, awesome for smearing...but a major pain to get on, maybe when they break in they'll be a bit better. They are weird since you have to kinda get in them from the side, otherwise the other side just folds under your foot.

5.10 mocassym

By:
October 4, 2004

This is my 5th or 6th pair of mocs, as my last ones are getting really thin under the big toe. For overhanging sport routes, these are almost indispensable. They are very comfortable when broken in, conform very well to the foot, and reach a point where you can curl your toe around features. They smear great but do not edge very well. They are cheap enough that they are not really worth resoling. If you do decide to resole, make sure your rand is still in good shape, as after having the rand redone, they will never fit the same. 1/2 soles done with rand material are the best for this shoe. Please bring back the Zlipper.

Great shoes

By:

These shoes are great. They are quick and easy to get on, and they are aggressive enough to get into the tiny crimps. These are the 5th type of shoes I've used, and they've been the most useful for me. Really good on granite, and they work well for limestone pockets. They conform really well to fit your foot. Takes a little to break them in, but when they are, they're great.

Great Shoes

I just bought my 5th pair of Moccasyms. The smear great, are comfortable, and are fine for indoor climbing. I would not recommend them for sending your hardest projects but great for working boulder problems.

Sweet Shoes

By: Backcountry.com Alumni

I like these shoes -- I'm on my third pair.

As far as fit go, I believe they fit a little narrower than other climbing shoes. I love the slip-on style - they are super easy to take on and off.

They will stretch if you buy them super small altho new climbers typically don't need to buy shoes super small.

Overall they are a versatile climbing shoe -- they aren't super strong for heel moves though.

Super snug

I like how this grips for bouldering. It is also way nice getting on and off. They have good edge and the sole is way sticky.

Best climbing shoe of all time

By: Backcountry.com Alumni
July 5, 2007

I've been through several different pairs of climbing shoes, and these have been my favorite by far. I've used them on sport routes, crack climbs, and bouldering and loved them for each type of climb. Aggressive enough to tackle whatever you throw at em, but comfortable enough to climb without pain.

Best shoe out there

Every climber could use this shoe in their arsenal. Whether gym climbing, bouldering, or flailing on a new sport route, this shoe is super comfortable and gives a good climber great footwork. I have gone through 2 pairs of this shoe already and this will be my third. I love it, and when I hit the rocks, this shoe will definitely be in my pack.

nice

By: Backcountry.com Alumni

I have tried these out numerous times. size down a little, the leather stretches and the red dye does dye your feet red the first couple times you use them or if you are in warm weather and sweat. They help strengthen your feet and rely on your feet's strength to climb with. They have no automatic arch. But man they can smear on ANYTHING! They are comfortable and need some break in time to be able to get on and off easily.

Buy small, they stretch a ton

By: Backcountry.com Employee
July 12, 2005

These shoes are great for everything from bouldering to trad climbing depending on how you fit them. Most will go super small for bouldering or sport climbing. I literally get the smallest ones that I can pull on. They’ll suck to start with but when they stretch out they’ll fit like a sticky glove. For trad climbing, size them like bedroom slippers (feet flat) and they will fit perfectly in thin cracks. They will stretch more than a full size if you climb a lot so be ware of getting them too big.
