The Team 5.10 Climbing Shoe uses a ridiculously thin Stealth Mystique sole to allow the surgically precise footwork you need to send your hardest projects. This shoe also features a microfiber upper to ensure excellent breathability and a precise fit that doesn’t require a month of break-in time. Five Ten drew upon its deep wealth of world-class climbers to design this shoe right and make it the go-to choice when you need to turn dime edges into ladder rungs.
Bottom Line: What the pros use on their hardest routes.
I'm torn between these and the Jet 7's, anybody have some advice? I'm looking for a bouldering, steep, overhang, heel hook, toehook, great performance shoe.
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'm torn between this shoe, Five Ten Team 5.10, and the Evolv Optimus Prime. According to the reviews on the Primes they don't last that long. Any one know of the durability of this shoe?
I second that - Evolv rubber is great until its gone. Mine lasted about 10 months with mainly weekend climbing. Fairly reasonable resoles though...about 20 + S&H if you don't blow the rands.
The team fiveten is a thinner sole shoe, so it won't last a super long time either. I have some optimus primes and they have lasted me as long as I could have hoped for. The evolv rubber is sticky, but soft, so that is why they wear out fast.
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.
Has anyone tried these out as well as the V10s? I have V10s now and I love them, but since they are discontinued, I won't be able to get them again once I put a hole through them. I was thinking about getting these since they are limited edition for the future...
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.
I'm not sure what size 43.5 converts to in US, but i definately recommend going up 1 full size. I wear a size 9 street shoe and size 9 in the anasazi v2 laces. I wear a size ten in the teams and they are still super tight; very aggressive shoe.
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.
I think they run about a half size smaller then the Jet7. I went with a size 9.5 and they were way to small. My friend has 9 jet7s and thought they rocked. They were just too small for me to give a good review. I normally climb with pontas size 9.
