This is my second pair running, and I am still very satisfied. Good fit, low stretch and good washability thanks to the synthetic "leather" cowdura. I use them for almost everything (faceclimbs, slabs, bouldering, indoors) and they last long. Last pair was resoled once without problems. A good shoe for my feet.

Anasazi Lace-up

Purchased these shoes for bouldering/sport climbing and I'm very pleased with them. Definalty one of the most popular shoes for this purpose, and for good reason. They fit very snugly without destroying my feet and won't stretch out due to the synthetic leather. They are a little asymmetric, not radically so like the Scarpa Paranoia or Sportiva Ghibli, so they will fit a wide range of foot shapes. They are a little soft for extended periods of edging, yet their precision and flex make them stick to anything. Personally, I like them for pockets and overhanging climbs. Their only drawback is that the heel is a little high volume and tends to let your foot move while hooking. Other than that, they are the best shoes I have worn for sport/bouldering. Highly recommended!

FIVE TEN ACSENT: Like the other guy...I have to say these shoes perform well. They did stretch a bit from the time I purchased them..which is something to consider. You can always cut and burn the velcro for a tighter fit. The shoes edge well but I haven't climbed long enough in them to test their durability. Tom Cruise must like them though b/c he wore em in M2. Also, I like the EVA idea and the dot heel. The tounge is a bit annoying and sticks out...but then again so do La Sportivas.

ACCENT VELCRO version- I did not see this model listed and since it is essentially the same last and velcro closure as the Anasazi but in leather which explains the comfort for my wide EE foot...
This is the perfect wide foot shoe along with the Boreal Zephyr I wore out after three seasons. It is more sensative than the Board lasted shoes out there but provides much better support for standing on dime sized edges for trad placements or long pondering on harder sport routes with thin stances.
This shoe did surprise me in the gym as well as on more overhanging climbing slipper feel. Not incredible on sensation but a great blend that I think even die hard board lasted afficianados like myself and Ron Kauk would climb harder in. Got me comfy on 5-11 Sport climbs as well.

Easy to replace with exact same resole rubber. Simply the best rubber

The best edging shoe ever. 5.10 rubber is the stickest rubber, ever. The anasazi velcro is best for wider feet, if you have narrow ones, go for the lace up version, but it is the best combination of stiffness for edging and sensitivity for bouldering etc. Pricey, but well worth it, they don't stretch either, so buy ones that fit from the start.

5.10 La Sportiva Boreal

While looking at the website I was suprised there was no review of this shoe. For sport climbing and bouldering, it is certainly one of the best shoes out there. it is used by many climbers on the worlds test pieces, and with good reason. It has a fantasic blend of sensitivity and stifness. Not too stiff, and very sensitive. The stealh rubber is sticky, and frictions well. The hell fits my foot well, and the shoes has minimal dead spots which is suprising for a slipper with no laces. This is the best shoe I have ever climbed in for steep bouldering and sport routes. downside, they are pricy

When I first tried on the shoe I almost
cried but I held it in like a man. I felt I could relate to the women in China who bind their feet. Don't buy this shoe smaller than your street size shoe. Besides that this was an excellent shoe but I would not recommend it for long routes of any kind. Stick to bouldering if you buy this shoe.

These shoes are the best out there! They are my second shoes and a month after i bought them my ability skyrocketed. They grab everything and anything, they also smear very well. I bought them two sizes too small but after a while i could handle the pain. Now they feal great. For bouldering you cant go wrong with these babies!
