A couple of years ago, when I first got into climbing, I picked up a pair of Five Ten Huecos. They were very comfortable and I didn’t really know what I was shopping for. As it turned out, after I learned more about what I should have bought, they were an ALRIGHT purchase. They are very padded, they are the only shoe I can think of that has a padded tongue. I used them in the gym as well as outdoors and was very pleased with them. That is, until about a month or two ago when I bought a pair of Red Chile Voodoo’s. The Voodoo’s perform far better than my Hueco’s ever could. I can stand on much smaller edges than I could with the Hueco’s. Even though the Hueco’s come with Five Ten’s patented Stealth C4 rubber which is supposed to be the stickiest rubber made. I’ll agree it is good rubber, I know many people that have gotten shoes resoled with Stealth C4 rubber to improve the shoes they have.

I've had great experiences with 5-10 shoes. The C-4 rubber is sticky, yet wears well. The lasts' have held up well, as have the uppers. Any climbing specific shoe is worth the money, but 5-10 seems to be the best deal going.

A great smearing shoe with long lasting comfort. The lining died a death and start falling a part but only after a year of gritstone. Wrapped up in the best rubber around, these shoes stick where my ninjas slide. Not a good edging boot, I found the boots trying to twist round on my foot. If you're new to the sport then you can't go wrong with these.

Love these shoes. From sport climbing to the out door rock these have held up well. 5.10 you get the all five. See you out there.

No complaints with these shoes after 3 months of climbing. They are definitely the most comfortable shoes I have tried. They did stretch some after use and I wish I had purchased 1/2 size smaller. Although the shoes are so comfortable that they are perfect for all day climbing. As far as performance goes, the shoes are not a limiting factor for me. These are much better than the Boreal Diablo slippers I was previously using. I can only give 4 out of 5 stars for value since the shoes aren't cheap.

I think these shoes are a pretty good deal. While they're not the cheapest shoes going, they'll serve you well for a variety of situations.

GREAT ALL AROUND SHOE!! These shoes do it all, and do it all well!! I have had them for several years now (3 maybe?) and they have held up fantastically. The first year saw primarily outdoor use, and the rest of the time has been mixed use, including gym climbing 5 times a week. The double pull-on loops in the back are extremely handy, which you don't realize until after you buy another pair of shoes that don't have them (I have a pair of Boreal Stingers, which have only one pull-on loop). They are very comfortable at about a full size down from street shoe size, depending on what shape foot you have, of course. I have a narrow heel and high arch, and they work well (much better than Boreal Ace, also considered to be a great all around shoe....but their heel cup is huge and clumsy). They are lined, which adds to the confort. However, don't believe the myth that lined shoes don't stretch much, because they do! Fortunately, I got the right size. Overall, terrific shoes. And at time of this review (3/1/01) they are onsale at your local REI store for $99!! You can not beat that!!! Might grab a second pair!!

Tried on about 8 different kinds of shoes, these were certainly the most comfortable. (As comfortable as rock shoes ever are.) Contrary to what many climbers say, I'd only go 1/2 to 1 size smaller than my street shoe. These shoes are lined, and haven't stretched much at all. Shoes certainly need to be snug, but if they're so tight they're not comfortable, you won't climb as much, or as long. And thin biking socks can be worn. Long story short, great shoe, plenty of feel, ledges and smears well, fits nice. For the women out there, go with the 5.10 Diamond.
