Five Ten Project Climbing Shoe

Item #FVT0058 | 0 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Do you have the money for a red point shoe?

By Ranked #957 - Climbing Shoes October 27, 2009

These shoes definitely live up to their reputation, they grip like crazy and are the most sensitive shoe possible. However, the rubber on most shoes is twice as thick, so that although they are twice as sensitive, they also wear out twice as fast. So, in terms of performance they are great, if you have the money to replace them often.

I was interested to find out that Five Ten created a special rubber for this shoe. It's more durable than standard Stealth rubber, and that's why they are able to make the soles so thin (sensitive). Mine have not lasted quite as long in the soles as my other shoes, but pretty close.
