Five Ten VMile Climbing Shoe

I haven’t climbed in them yet. But as far as I can tell they’re very comfortable. They have pretty stiff soles. It seems like they’re easy on and off. I have the impression that they won’t get as funky as other Five Ten stuff (like VCS). Also, they are very small for their size. All of my street shoes are 9.5. After talking to people at Five Ten and seeing them at a shop I got a 9.5. Thing is the 9.5’s were significantly shorter than the physical length of my foot. I returned and exchanged, got a 10.5. These are still about the same length (maybe slightly less than) my shortest 9.5 street shoes. At 10.5, though, I don’t think there will be any pain. I get it that different shoes have different lasts, are different shapes, and will be different lengths. But I don’t understand why they made them this small, which is to say they made them diverege this much from regular street shoe sizing. It’s as if they’re trying to compound the shrunken (and painful) sizing that some climbers prefer.

Awesome shoes. They are super comfortable (for climbing shoes) and provide great grip and support. Feet stay cool, Very easy to get in and out from. I simply love the practicality and performance. Very recommended.

These shoes have the reliability of other 5.10 climbing shoes. They provide support for precision climbing as well as comfort for lengthy routes or times in the gym when you just want to play for hours without your toes falling off due to pain and loss of circulation. True when selecting a size opt for a bit larger than expected.

The VMile is a solid shoe for those looking for a stiff platform/sole to help lock in on those tiny edges. It's much less sensitive, but once you have your foot placed, it can grab the smallest numbs and cling like a mad dog. These ran VERY small in sizes. I take a 10.5 in street shoes, and even an 11 in the VMile feels tight, so size up for sure.

I love the stickyness of the shoes, and the solid platform is awesome. They came sized really small though - a specialist suggested sticking with my traditional shoe size because of this, and even then I could barely fit in them!

I bought vmiles to be my comfort shoes and they are quite comfortable once broken in. But they are also technically precise and that has been a pleasant surprise.

I got my new shoes about a month ago. I tried a smaller size, but had to exchange them for a 10 again (same as previous 5.10's, which happens to be my usual street-shoe size). The stealth onyx feels a good deal better than the stealth C4, and I like the point of the toe and the padding under the heel. Get this shoe if you want a great balance between performance and comfort.
