Too narrow

Five Ten Anasazi VCS V2 Climbing Shoe - Men's

Five Ten Anasazi VCS V2 Climbing Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 2 November 4, 2010

I climbed in these for a few months and wound up with turf toe because of them. Because of the narrow cut they squeezed my feet horizontally, causing my joint to swell and ruining a trip to Bishop for me.

As for the performance, I didn't think that they were that fantastic. It could be because of the fit, but I thought the shoes were just average.

Strong performers, but has some issues

Evolv Talon G2 Climbing Shoe

Evolv Talon G2 Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 3 November 4, 2010

The Talons are an extremely aggressive shoe making them ideal for overhangs. In terms of their performance, the small precise toe allows you to grab just about anything. I have even used them on slab climbs because of their edging abilities.

When I first sized out the Talons, I went a half size down from my street shoe (10 from 10.5). At first there felt like there was some dead space in the heel, but after a few sessions it formed perfectly. So even though these are synthetic, they do mold a bit.

The reason I am only giving the Talon a 3/5 is because of the fit and comfort. I am no stranger to cramped toes, but the Talon is very narrow in the forefoot, squeezing the toes and forefoot horizontally. The day after a long session the big knuckles on both my feet were swollen. Also, even though the material is perforated, in inner lining isn't so your feet sweet a bunch and wound up causing hot spots from where my toes were being stacked on top of each other.

So if you have a thin foot, these shoes may work very well for you, but if you have a wider forefoot, be cautious.
