The Five Ten Siren Women's Climbing Shoe is a high-performance synthetic lace-up shoe that takes on everything from cracks to nubbins to plastic. Five Ten constructed this low-volume, narrow-heel climbing shoe with a perforated synthetic Cowdura upper to eliminate stretch and provide excellent breathability when you're sweating bullets on the rock this summer. The Siren Climbing Shoe's Stealth ONYX rubber provides better friction and durability than traditional C4 rubber. The women's specific last in this all-around Five Ten shoe gives you the comfort you need to take full advantage of your newfound friction.
Bottom Line: Answer the rock's call with the Five Ten Siren Women's Climbing Shoe.
These shoes suck. I loved them at first. Got them as my trad shoes. So, they were tight but still comfy enough to wear them a whole day without being in excruciating pain. When I bought them, I got told that they basically don't stretch (or just a little). Little did I know. They stretched a whole lot. Even with socks, they are way too big, especially the toe box and there is no way to tie them any tighter either. I am terribly disappointed, especially as these shoes have not seen to much use either before stretching out that much.
Those shoes are useless for me and I am selling them again.
The Siren was my first pair of climbing shoes, in '07. As a beginner climber, I appreciated that they were super-comfortable right out of the box - not too tight in the toebox, not super-downturned, and highly adjustable through the laces. As a rapidly-improving climber, I appreciated that they were precise and technical enough to take me from a complete beginner to a reasonably competent climber.
They did stretch out quite a lot while I was climbing 3 or 4 times a week in them, largely due to the fact that they didn't dry between climbing sessions, I think. Between the stretching and the fact that I'm looking for a lot of precision when I'm bouldering now, I don't use them much indoors anymore except for warm-up, and if I were to buy them again I'd go down half a size. Now, I find that they're snug enough when I first put them on, but as my feet sweat and the shoes get damp (and I move to harder problems), I have to switch to my tighter shoes.
These shoes are now the ones that I wear outdoors - far more comfortable than my newer shoes, older so I'd rather get them all dirty than my new ones, and I'm not climbing at a level outdoors where I'm needing the extra feel I get in my newer (and tighter) shoes.
I love these shoes, and they'd be 5 stars no problem except for the stretching.
I love these shoes. They are extremely comfortable and great for bouldering and climbing. I have only used them indoors, but they seem like they would work well outdoors, too. I think they stretched just a little bit, but they definitely still fit me. The elastic laces are kind of worthless because they end up being way too long but the regular laces work just fine. I'm planning on buying this same pair of shoes as my next pair.

I'm thinking about getting some of these, but I don't think I have a low volume foot or a small heel like the other people that commented... my mad rocks that I have right now kind of destroy me, but I'm not sure if I just bought the wrong size.
I would highly recomend going to your local big box outdoor store and trying these on. I know plenty of climber that like "these" shoes but don't like "those" and others that like "those" but don't like "these" for no reason other then the way they fit. No one shoe is going to fit great for every one. Go to the store, try one lots of shoes if these fit the way you want, come back to bc and buy them.
These shoes are perfect for indoor and outdoor climbing, as well as bouldering. I've used them mostly on indoor walls and sandstone and they've functioned very well. They're comfy enough to be able to stand around in while belaying, though I do have narrow feet that squeeze into pretty much anything. Good construction, they don't rub wrong anywhere and are holding up well. I haven't tried the elastic laces because the regular ones work just fine.
Great climbing shoes! I typically do sport climbing and can stay in them all day without having any discomfort. They were great right out of the box. I have slightly narrow feet and I am a size 8.5 in street shoes so I bought an 8.5 in the Sirens and 2 years later I havent regretted it.
Yah, these shoes come with 2 sets of laces, so you can choose which you prefer. The ones that look like normal shoelaces are, well, normal shoelaces. The other pair are elastic with a quick-lock, which makes the shoes faster to get on and off - more like a slip-on (put on, pull, tighten locker). The pic of the shoe at the top of the page shows how the lacing pattern should look.
Personally, I find that the elastic laces are ridiculously long, and when I yank on them they tighten the top of the shoe but not down over my foot to the toes.
I have climbed in different shoes, La Sportiva Testarossa, Evolv Electra, Evolv Rockstar, and 5.10 Anasazi among them. They above are all good shoes, but ever since I tried 5.10 Sirens I cannot wear anything else. I am now on my 4th pair if Sirens.
The rubber is great, this is 5.10 we are talking about. The laces allow for perfect tight fit that stays tight, unlike the velcros that always seemed to loosen for me. And the shoes fit me perfectly right out of the box, with no hot spots, rubbing, or irritation.
I wear size 7 in street shoes, and use size 6 in Sirens. It is a tight fit, but not painful. I find that the shoes stretch about 1/2 size, both length and width-wise.
I want a cute chalk bag to match my new sirens. I know i'm a bit of a girly girl but I can climb with the best men out there. :) Any suggestions? I was looking at the c30p (cornflower) perfect color but too small I think and I don't belive its belt is removable. i want to be able to clip it to my harness
I've been out of climbing for a while. Back in the day I used to climb in Five Ten Dragons and Boreal Matrix's, both shoe sized aggressively tight. It was surreal to me to have a shoe that I could pull hard on 10d/11a in the gym and not have to slip them off as soon as I hit the ground. The upper is super soft and stretches nicely. The rubber grips, well like stealth rubber always does, solidly. I tried to go cheap at first and bough a pair of Evolv's before this but the rubber just wasn't up to what I have grown used to with Five Ten and I quickly snatched these up.
Now the bad: -stink, these shoes do not breath at all, and your feet will SWEAT!! I use cedar blocks in them to help afterwards, but they are still not allowed inside my climbing bag (I use the water bottle pocket on the outside for them) -although exceedingly comfortable, I wish I had sized just a hlaf size down, after 2 months of 3-4 day a week gym climbing the rubber around the crease between my tows and top of my foot is starting to pull away, I think due to the ammount of pressure put on the spot when i climb -the laces are WAY to long, both the regular and elastic are SUPER long. I got around this by cutting the elastics and burning the ends together about 2 inches above where the are tight on my foot, this way i can get in and out easily, but am not worried about stepping on my laces.
Overall, I love these shoes, they have there foibles for sure, but the comfort combined with the sweet rubber really make them my fave all around shoe.
Thanks for the review! It has been helpful. I too have narrow heels and a problem with shoes slipping or pinching. I tried on this shoe and found it to be very comfortable in the store. No heel issues. However, the toe box was a bit snug at my street shoe size. Should I suck up and size down a 1/2 size to allow for stretching? Have been borrowing a pair of LS Mythos but need to take the plunge soon. Also, have you had them resoled? I saw your mention about the rubber pulling away. Do you think this is a flaw in the shoe (has it happened more than once)? Thanks!
Well everyone says climbing shoes aren't comfortable, but I found the foot squeeze in these to be too much. I had taken advice from other reviews and ordered an 8 for my 7.5 feet, but still didn't think I could wear them long enough to climb. I ordered a pair of Mythos from Backcountry for my Colorado climbing trip and loved them for my 5.7 to 5.9 sport & trad climbs - they are great shoes!
Great shoes - I have a hard time finding a technical shoe that fits my narrow, low volume foot. These are fabulous. The heel fit is great without digging into my achilles tendon and the last is curved enough to provide for precision edging without mangling my foot. Not the most comfortable for slabby, featureless, face smearing and long trad routes, but great for small edges and steep sport routes. I've tried about 10 different pairs of shoes and these are the bomb. I wear a women's 9.5 to 10 in street shoes and bought these in a 9. Perfect.
Love them. Seems to be sized a little small. I normally wear a 7.5, got these in an 8. The fit it great. Snug heel, good arch, doesn't kill the toes. I can wear them on long multi pitch without discomfort and they still perform well as good as I could want them. Just got done with a week in Cochise Stronghold. Everything I did required trusting feet a lot!. It didn't take long to learn to trust the shoes to smear all over those walls.
These shoes are great. The rubber is def. superior to the other climbing shoes I have (Mad Rock something). I have been using them for a month indoors and outdoors- they hold well in both conditions. The only thing is that my feet cramp really easily and really quickly when I use these shoes on thin climbs outdoors. I wear size 8 for regular street shoes and my Sirens are size 7.5. Maybe I have wide feet and have to order size 8. Other than the cramping when one the rocks, they're pretty comfortable for climbing shoes.
These shoes fit like a glove all around- my indoor climbing has improved tremendously since I don't feel like they are even on. I do take them off when I'm standing around though
These are very comfortable climbing shoes. I recently used them bouldering outside and my feet were very happy all day. The sizing was a little inaccurate. They seem to run small.
These are my first pair of climbing shoes and I love them. They've made an awesome difference in how I climb! I was warned that climbing shoes were supposed to be awful to begin with for 20-25 indoor pitches but these are totally fine, obviously more snug than my regular shoes but after the first use (a 3hr session) only one of my big toes was a bit sore from being more squished than usual but no blisters or anything. I have a wide foot and these are such a good fit - if you're new to climbing these are totally worth the $$. They're a great beginner shoe!! Thanks 5.10
These climbing shoes are great. They are advanced without feeling like those totally hardcore shoes where your arch is pulled into this uncomfortable "C" shape. I've worn them climbing in the gym and outside, and the sole is nice and grippy.
these have an awesome fit right out of the box. They are great for bouldering and are very comfortable. It is nice they are all synthetic so you do not need to go through the painful break in time that the leathers need. Great gym climbing shoe. It does not much arch, but you can force it into an arch easily. The lace up system is ice, you can tighten select spots really easily. Great women's climbing shoes!
Great fit - true to to size... but the first time I used them at the climbing gym, both heels cracked down the middle! Unbelievable. The site took them right back and even sent me a shipping label so I wouldn't have to pay for shipping for the return.
These shoes suck. I loved them at first. Got them as my trad shoes. So, they were tight but still comfy enough to wear them a whole day without being more...
The Siren was my first pair of climbing shoes, in '07. As a beginner climber, I appreciated that they were super-comfortable right out of the box more...
