The sole on this seems twice as thick as my other shoes and lasts twice as long. We go through a lot of shoes in the Sierra but these hold up longer then most. Love the 5 10 rubber too.

I like just about everything about this shoes... they edge very well, the rubber is sticky, and (perhaps due to tight sizing) heel hook well.

The one gripe I have is the rubber on the top of the toe is starting to peel away from the upper. I have tried to remedy with super glue but it is starting to peel away again.

This shoe rocks. It has the same fit as the Anasazi Lace Up "Pinkie" but no more blisters or dead space on the heal. Because of the improved heal, I dropped down half a size from my old Lace Ups. The synthetic shoe still wraps around your foot and fits like a glove. I highly suggest this shoe!!!

Great all around performance shoes. I've used these on everything from overhanging cobble pulls to slick slab desperates and have been very impressed with the stick, power, and precision. The new heel is light-years better than the old, and I was stoked that i could finally fit into some anasazi's. My only real gripe is that they get super hot, but that is to be expected with a lined synthetic shoe.

These are perfect for that project that needs precision footwork and a secure feel on the smallest holds. Lined, so don't expect them to stretch or be a little forgiving if you size them down too much. I went down 1/2 size and they are still pretty snug. Expect a similar performance to the anasazi velcro and roughly the same sort of fit. Great shoes and would highly recommend if you are looking for excellent edging footwear.

I picked these up to replace my first pair of shoes ever, the 5.10 Gambits. I wanted something with better edges and that was a touch more aggressive. These shoes were just great and lasted me until I decided I wanted to work more on overhanging boulder problems. They still sit with my gear and I whip them out occasionally if i'm looking for comfort on sport laps.

These shoes work very well for everything. I choose them over my miuras. If you are primarily a sport climber climbing dime edgy faces, these shoes absolutely cannot be beat. Also, if you are a climber looking for a shoe that can do everything these are a great choice.
I wear a size 10 street shoe, a 41.5 in the miura VS (which was initially painful but perfect after they stretched) and the 9.5 in the Verdes is perfect.

This is my new favorite shoe. I've worn the Mad Rock Flash for the gym, Scarpa Spectros outside, and Five Ten V10s for overhanging boulders -- but I'm pretty much wearing these for everything now. I have a wide, flat forefoot and feet that are lower volume in general. The Scarpas and V10s are bone-crunching in one direction or the other with slop in the other direction. The Verdes are perfect. The redesigned "Magic Fingers" heel is a big improvement over the older Anasazi design and the huge amount of lace adjustment you can make means these are very easy to find the perfect dialed in adjustment. And the rubber is a minor miracle -- sticky but really durable--smears soft, edges stiff, sensitive at all times. These are meant to be a little more of an edging shoe than the Velcros and they work like stink for that and almost everything else. I take these over my Spectros, I'd take them over Miuras and Katanas. I'm back to Five Ten with these babies. Excellent, precise and comfortable all-rounder lace-up with world-beater rubber that will rock your long, lower-volume foot silly.

I love these comfortable Anasazi Verde shoes. I like the Boreal Spider as well, but the rubber on them is a bit thin for me and aggressive grip causes pain. Stealth Onyxx Sole much better- firm rubber with good gripping features. Highly recommend it.

These are the first Anasazis that I've felt satisfied with. The heel, the rubber, and the overall fit are fantastic. They are great for face and steep climbing. On their second day out, however, the black cloth detailing started coming off, but I didn't mind losing it. I down-sized pretty significantly, 8.5 for a street-size 10 foot, but can wear the shoes for quite a while without too much pain.

This is a superb shoe. Edges beautifully, smears fine. The fit is of course the most important thing in any shoe, which is why I'm passing on my experience with the greenies. I went down half a size from street shoe size: 10>9.5 and find that the greenies fit great heel to toe. No movement, heel stays put. But the shoe volume otherwise is a bit big and I really have to lace them tight. So, this might be a super fitting shoe for you if you have a medium to large volume foot. If small volume like mine, you might want to size a whole size down and hope your toes can stand the pain. I'll try that next time.

the Verde is the best face climbing shoe on the planet. the new heel and perfect fit make it sick for thin cracks and micro edging. Even after a ton of use they soften up slightly and become even better. The most dope shoe ever.

I ended up going with size 11 which is my street size. Had to send back a 10.5. Still a bit snug but am sticking with it. Can climb better due to the firmness and edges.

If you want a shoe that will work for everything, this is it. I switched to these from the old t-rock and couldn't be happier. They have served fantastically on everything from steep, overhanging pocket stabbing to delicate slabs, and are comfy enough that I went 11 straight pitches in Zion without any pain. If you don't want to spend 500 bucks to buy a shoe for every occasion, this is for you.
