Excellent shoes. Probably the most precise shoe that I have ever worn. Can't see myself ever not owning a pair of these! My only complaint is that the velcro straps began to fray and come apart much earlier than I expected. Customer Service Never used |

Theses shoes rule espicaly on overhangs. It is like having two extra hands. They hurt like mad on vertical climbs. It takes a while to get used to them. Definently buy these shoes if you like overhangs. Similar Products Used: huecos anasasi velcro zliper |

Awesome shoes, but v.v. uncomfortable I found, although I did drop down a full size. Pull these out when your struggling with foot work, crank out the problem and then put them away until next time! Would reccomend a pair of pink lace ups for first pair of shoes with these as back up for the hardest problems. Customer Service Good, but a bit lengthy took me 2 weeks to get replacement when I ripped the heel off! Similar Products Used: Anasazi velcros Anasazi lace ups |

these shoes are great, i did receive an odd pair though. i think they may be an older model because they don''t have a dragon on the velcro straps or a padded tongue. otherwise, they perform like a painful dream. they do take a while to brake in but after a month they are perfect. smearing may be thought as hard with these because of the curved style but it isn''t that bad. edging is great, you can really crame your toe into any pocket or hold. these are literally the best shoes in the world. |

None These shoes are crazy! It really is like having hands. Dragons grab anything and make even the smallest holds feel solid. Great Shoe! Customer Service Five-Ten staff is so helpful Similar Products Used: None |

None These are the most accurate and powerfully edging shoes I have ever seen. The camber and downturned last place all your weight just over your big toe. Hard to get used to because of the extreme nature of the shoe, but once you are comfortable in them they are incredible. On overhangs and artificial walls they are incridible, but on vertical stuff outdoors they are a bit weak. If you need one well rounded technical shoe you might be better of with the Velcro Anasazi. I chose to use the Dragons and a pair of Maccasyms and am sublimely happy. Similar Products Used: None |

I bought mine from a friend who ordered them too small. On overhanging routes they are like having hands instead of feet, they grab everything. They edge very well, especially if sized tightly, even better then some stiffer shoes I've tried. These shoes are a little painful at first, but they stretch a little, although it's nothing to worry about. I don't crank down on the velcro half the time; the elastic would be good enough. They're starting to rip near the pull loops after 4 months. But I got them a little too small so it's an effort to get them on. Overall, these are awesome. I'd get them again.

Man, these shoes are edging machines! You can put your big toe into anything you want from the smallest pocket to the tinyest edge. I bought them half a size down from my regular shoe size, and I'm still breaking them in. But they're a little on the painful side when wearing them, so you might want to take them off once in a while when doing a multi-pitch climb. The only thing about them that might suck, is the fact that because they're cambered, they might present a problem with smearing, but they're great for overhangs. Other than that, I'm totally satisfied with their performance. Similar Products Used: None |
