One of the strongest boulderers in the world, Fred Nicole, calls the Five Ten Jet 7 Climbing Shoe “absolutely the highest-performance shoe made.” That pretty much describes it. This highly asymmetrical shoe features Five Ten's Stealth HF rubber and a downturned toe for solid edging and toe-hooking performance in the most horrendous of situations. The Jet 7 Shoe features a synthetic lining to reduce stretch, so they have the same fit out of the box as they will a season later.
Bottom Line: When you need some serious footwear to put your project to bed, grab the Five Ten Jet 7 Climbing Shoe and cross that route out of the guidebook.
These shoes are ace. I got them to replace Evolv Predators that I'd worn out. I was a little apprehensive about trying the Jet7's because the Evolvs were so comfortable, but these have turned out great. I wore an 8.5 in the Evolv shoe (probably could have done an 8) but went all the way down to 7.5 for these. The break-in for these was painful, but the fit is wicked now that I've had them for a while. I was very impressed by the rubber on these too, nice and sticky and darn durable. I've worn my edges down pretty fiercely but I'm pretty sure that's user error.
I wear Solution La Sportiva 43,5, in the beginning it was really tight, but after a couple of months it morphed to my feet and it is perfect now. What size would you guys recommend me to get the Jet7? I was thinking about an 11 concerning the previous reviews?
I have worn Anasazi's for a while and just got a pair of jet7's a month ago. I feel that the fit is very similar. The jet7's are a little narrower, but not much. The jet7's are now my favorite shoe for over hung roots. Still not a replacement for the Anasazi's just another shoe for the quiver.
@ Daniel Ramos - I'm in the same seat as you... I wear a size 11 and bought the Jet7's in an 11. My big toe knuckles are on fire. It's incredibly agonizing. Did the shoes end up morphing to your feet as previous post assured? Or did you end up getting a larger size?
I had the same problem when I bought these, mad pain in the big toe knuckle. I stuck it out and now it's definitely barely noticeable. The better fit in the heel is what made me put up with some toe pain. The toe box DOES eventually conform to your foot shape. I've got a callous on the knuckle now, so the pain isn't what it used to be. That said, I just put up with it in favour of the performance I'm able to get out of the shoe.
I've been a Dragon fan since the velcro version, and now the lace up as my main climbing shoe. I also owned Anasazi, Gallileo and LaSportiva Miuras. I love the Jet7 (initially bought as a complement to the dragons) and they are now taking over as my favorite bouldering shoes (a pair of wore down Dragon is best for me for sport climbing).
The hardest part was figuring out the sizing. I have a size 9 (US) in the Dragon, a size 8 in the Anasazi and the Jet7 size 8 are perfect (I tried 7, 7.5 and 8.5).
I wear a 10-10.5 street shoe and wear a 9 in the anasazi (tight). Considering i have a relatively wide foot, am i best to go for the 9 or a 9.5? Not bothered about the pain but i want to be able to get them on.
For a while I've been using the Five Ten Dragons. Love them, never fails to grab the tiniest crevices or most awkward toe/heel hooks. They hurt like hell tho', and the laces are a hassle to take on and off. I decided to transition to velcro strap shoes and found these babies. These things are pretty much Dragons, same awesome rubber, same awesome stickiness, but much better. 1. The low position of the velcro strap allows your ankle to flex without being restricted like with laces, making hard toe betas easier. 2. The shoe is very easy to throw on and off due to the single velcro strap design and large tongue and 3. the padded tongue is very comfortable. Summarized: it's like dipping your feet in liquid rubber that you can peel away at whim. Try these, you won't be disappointed.
so i am thinking about getting a pair of these for bouldering season...i am a 10.5 street shoe and currently have a pair of dragons size 10 and a pair of 5x's in size 8.5...what sizes should i try for the jet 7
My closest climbing friend has these Jet 7's and seems to be crushing two grades harder since he got them (he trains like a monkey on amphetamines too...) I've been climbing in Anasazis for 3 years and love them for everything but really steep bouldering. The v10's I've been climbing in on steep stuff are great for masochists, but just as I am starting to be able to take more than one burn at a time in them, the heel cup has started slipping off on hooks. How do the Jet 7's size compared to Anasazis? Should I go up, down, or take the middle path??
I'm a street size 10 and just bought a pair of these in size 10. They feel REALLY tight, my toe knuckles are really pressing up through the leather. In reality they hurt. I have a 9.5 in the Anazazi Velcro and while I can deal with them I sized up on these so I wouldn't be so uncomfortable. I've also owned a UFO in 10 which was perfect, but I believe those were unlined so they stretched. Should I size up to a 10.5? Have you ever heard of people sizing up a 1/2 size on these? Or should I wait and allow them to break in? Will they stretch?
Stick it out! I am 1/2 size down from street shoe, with a narrow, low volume foot. It took longer than I thought to adjust, but I'm glad I did!
But yes, I know many people (those with wide hi-vol feet) who size above street shoe in certain 5.10 models.
No, they won't realllly stretch, but they will "morph" to your foot. This always sounds crazy to people, but to break in a TIGHT shoe (and I have done so for years), I climb with socks on for a few outings. Yes, socks with a tight shoe...it actually buffers the hot spots and makes the break-in period more comfy...really....it does.
Remember too, this is a performance shoe with a specific mission...not for the slabs shall we say (though as I mention in my review, to my great delight, one can really stand on them when one must-maybe just not the comfy choice.)
I wear a size 10 street shoe and a size 9 in these. They did take about a week to break in, but now I can wear them for at least a couple hours before they start to hurt. Your toes are supposed to be curled up, so I wouldn't worry about that. If you bought them here, you can return them whenever, so wear them for a bit longer and if they don't get better, return them for a bigger size.
Been climbing in these for 4 months now, so it's time for a review. I wear a size 10.5 street shoe and got these in a 10. They were more painful to break in than my Evolv Defys but these beat the snot out of my Defys when it comes to edging, heel hooking, and toe hooking. Took about 6 sessions to get them broken in. They're still tight when I put them on for the first time, but once my feet start to sweat, they get really comfy. The rubber is sticky, but honestly...all the brands have sticky rubber. I left these on the roof of my car when I left the gym one night...they were still up there when I got home, so they're sticky! The toe-box on this shoe is what I love the most, it really focuses the weight up on your big toe. The closure system is really easy to tighten and loosen, most of the time I don't even strap them because the shoe doesn't split until mid-foot. After 4 months the mid-foot portion of the arc in the sole is almost completely flat, but the toe is still just as down-turned as the day I got them. I use them bouldering and sport. When they get really dirty, I just toss them in the washing machine on a gentle cycle and let them air dry. I've climbed in Defys and Barracudas - these are my favorite.
Hi Jenny, The difference between men's and womens shoes is a size and a half. Five Ten's synthetic shoes do not usually stretch, they break in and conform to the shape of your foot, but there is no real significant stretch. Leather shoes will usually stretch about a half size. So for synthetic shoes i would suggest street shoe size for a more comfortable fit, and a half size down for a higher performance fit. For leather shoes, I would go down a half size for a more comfortable fit, a full size for a higher performance fit.
Hi Jenny, if you have very narrow feet, you will probably want 1/2 to 1 size smaller than your men's hiking shoe size. people with wide feet seem to need the same size as street shoe. keep in mind that 5.10 uses women's sizing for the women's specific shoes.
This shoe has really impressed me....for a while I didn't think it was the shoe for me...the break in was longer than I was accustomed to after a long love affair with the A. Velcro (still my #1 shoe.)
But after the break-in (the side of the shoe bothered my ankle a bit) all I can say is HOLY COW!
I was leery at first to take them to my local favorite crag which is just off vert and edgy. But when I didâwhat a pleasant surprise! Though drastically down-turned and articulatedâwhich I knew would be the bomb for pulling on steep micro edges and pocketsâto my delight, when the angle kicked back, I could reallllly stand on it as well!
Heel hooking-A+ Performance-A+ Comfort-well, let's just suffice it to say it's not thee shoe you wanna wear when checking the mail... ;-)
I just tried on a 12 in these, and my Evolv Pontases (however you pluralize that) are 12s also, and I thought I was wearing clown shoes. Unfortunately the only other size they had was an 8, but definitely size down from the Evolvs
really comfortable, great toe, plenty of quality rubber for foot jams, smearing, edging whatever you'll need for sport, indoor and bouldering. highly recommend.
How do these fit compared to the dragons? I wear a 9 in the moccasim and a 9.5 in the dragon (which are painfully tight). What should I get in the jets?
The Jets are a little bit softer than the dragons. The paint on rubber on the toe is softer than the dragon so it is less painful on the knuckles during the break in process. Most people wear street shoe size or a half size down, depending on how tight you like your shoes.
I find the two platforms to be quite different - as a lo volume, narrow foot person, I go down a full size from my US men's street shoe in the Anasazi Mocs, Velcros etc... one half size in the articulated toe models like the 7.
I would add a 1/2 size as one jumps through the foot descriptions-so if you are med volume/width, size street shoe in the 7...a high volume, wide foot—size UP 1/2 size to your street shoe, but TRY to try 'em on first!
P.S. This beta has been anecdotal-ly confirmed with my posse...
I tried them on in the shop and as soon and as my toes got squished in the front I knew I was going to buy them. Really good shoe. Super precise and surprisingly comfortable. Can really recommend them. Going deep water soloing with them in a week. So will see how to perform in the wet.
Awesome for indoor climbing and steep sport routes. This shoe has lasted me longer than any other shoe, especially for how much I climb in the gym (4-5 times a week). I could instantly tell the difference when climbing on the ceiling routes. My only complaint is that the heal can be a bit slippery if you're trying to do a hard heel hook, but you can't have the best of both worlds when it's so easy to take these on and off. Bottom line, if you want to improve your indoor climbing or bouldering, then these would certainly help you out. I wear 11.5 street shoe, 10 in anasazi, and also a 10 in these.
Most of Five Ten's synthetic shoes do not stretch. They break in and conform to the shape of your foot, but there is no significant stretch to them. The Jet is synthetic and lined.
Just like every other fiveten shoe. They will stretch but not as much as say an unlined shoe. unlined shoes stretch up to 1-1.5 sizes depending on your sizing. Lined will stretch up to 0.5 depending on your sizing. Tighter sizing=more stretching
These are my second pair of five tens, after being a solid la sportiva supporter for several years. Straight up, these shoes kick ass. Super aggressive, with an awesome toe box, these shoes have taken a beating but do not let up on even the tiniest of edges. The heel also has an awesome groove which lets you throw nasty heel hooks with sticking power left and right. The best feature though, and probably my favorite is the crossing velcro, making them a breeze to throw on. The super fat tongue is also real comfortable and breathes well so that your feet aren't all sweaty and stinky. One more thing: these guys do not stretch so I wouldnt recommend going down more than a size and a half from your street shoe. I got a 9 and am street 10, fit is perfect.
The JET7's are an amazing shoe, the steepness of the toe really helps with the send attempt on any steep overhung problem. The heel is perfect for snagging the ledge on a bouldertop out and the toes are perfect for snagging tiny edges on a hard overhung route. I've had these shoes for ages now, and i still wear them, toe missing and all to send sometimes. An amazing shoe - on my 2nd pair!
Super stiff front section, minimal weight and material, good tight fit, stealth rubber. if you need to balance on a tiny nubbin, this is the shoe to do it in. this shoe seems real promising to boulder in, assuming the toe-crunch factor does not make me cry like a little girl.
Every time I put this shoe on it's like Christmas all over again. I know that some people fit Sportivas and some fit Five Tens, but I'm a Tenner all the way and these fit amazingly. The split tongue and heel design from the T-Rock combined with the toehook rubber and the Velcro system make the best shoe I've ever worn. They have excelled on everything from micro edges to heelhook traverses to toehooking on tufas to toeing in on our 60 degree overhang at school here. There is absolutely no dead space and the precision and power is unprecedented. My only complaint is that seeing as how the toe is encased in black rubber, they get quite hot if you stand around in the sun in them (which you shouldn't). They also take a few days to break in, so don't send them back immediately. Highly recommended.
