Cons first: Purchased over 1 year ago and my feet still turn orange. I use them about twice a week, indoor in winter and outdoor in summer. The rand began separating from the leather around the toe after 1 month, but a little Goop took care of that and no problems since. The heel is not very good for hooking. Now the pros: I have the new version (no liner) and the stretch has been great. I got them 2 sizes too small and they now fit my feet perfectly. The stealth rubber is wearing thin from use, but still very sticky. It is stiff enough for good edging and I feel confident smearing and standing up on tiny jibs. Overall, a good shoe. Orange feet are a small price to pay for good performance. Next time I will purchase something different just to have something to compare it to, but that is nothing against the Mojaves.

These were my first shoes and they were on sale so i figured why not, and they are pretty decent (i have the old style) I had them for about two years of occasional climbing (mostly inside, but a few trips outside) before they blew out. first their strengths, They are super sticky and smear exceptionally well, and they are very stiff, the combination of which inspires confidence and sloppy footwork, but very good for beginers, or all around use. I don't have any really bad negatives on these shoes except i have wider feet right at the balls of my feet, which is a horrible shape for this shoe, so i didn't enjoy them for that reason. Also these shoes stretched very little and most of the stretch was side to side, not lengthwise howerver they aren't lined anymore so i don't know how the new ones will work. overall a good beginer or all purpose shoe if it fits right.

I climb in boreals (spider and zen) and i love them, they edge better than the mojaves and fit my feet better. The rubber is harder at first, but after a while it softens up and is very good.

these shoes are junked, after about 1 months worth of use, half of the thing is delaminated, i bought them cuz i needed shoes bad, we were going to rumney and none of the other shoes at this particular ems fit my foot, i don't know whether to hold these delaminated falling apart disgraceful shoes against 5:10 or not, but as for personal use, i'll stick with my LaSportiva testarossa's, and Boreal Stingers. thank u, i do not recommend buying this shoe, beginner or not, if ur looking for something inexpensive, check rei's bargain bin, my brother got a pair of boreal stingers for 85$.

i bought these shoes cuz they were the cheapest shoe there (that wasn't total garbage) i climb very often and wear through shoes quickly so i don't like to break the bank on shoes, and these shoes have held up very well, they edging is good at first, but i did wear out around the edges fairly quickly, but that's normal for me so think nothing of it, the smearing is great because the rubber is so sticky and holds great to the rock, i've had mine for about 2 months of about 4-8 hours a day 4-6 days a week now, and they're holding up very well, overall i'm very satisified, they do the job, i can feel holds out very well and my toe hooks are good, they're weakness is definately heel hooking, the rubber in the back is not thick at all and u better lay ur heel down softly...i found that out after smashing my heel off the rock, but i'm an idiot, so anyway, pretty good value, good shoe, to me

I bought these shoes because they were on sale, and i needed a pair of shoes, i've had them for about two years, and i think they are ok. I love the stealth rubber, it sticks amazingly well, i have wider feet, and they didn't do too well with that, but they still work. They are lined so they don't stretch much. Mine have lasted well, i climb fairly often and have abused these shoes alot, and they finally blew out on me after two years. I have the old style, i don't know about the new ones, but mine have seved me well.

First off I work at a climbing gym here in Lexington Kentucky. When we opened about a year and a half ago, these are the shoes we bought to rent out to people needing climbing shoes. Responses at first were good, then they started to fall apart. The rubber didn’t last nearly as long as we had expected and the leather was tearing, all within the first couple of months. One of our members does a lot of work with leather and told us that the leather on these shoes is the lowest quality leather available. No wonder they were falling apart already. Another bad thing about these shoes is their orange color. Still to this day, after over a year of them being worn, once a person takes them off, their feet are dyed orange. I’ve heard of other shoes doing this for maybe the first couple of times they were worn but these shoes have literally been worn hundreds if not thousands of times and they are still turning people’s feet orange.

I have wide feet, and bought these 1/2 size under my street shoe. They stretch a ton, and the outside of my foot quickly sagged over the edge, eliminating any backstepping I would be doing. After I broke them in, they fit well, but because of all the stretching, most of the seams are coming undone. They have definetly worn alot faster than any other shoe I've owned (@5 months). I like the stealth rubber, and am going to try some anasazi's, though I don't think I'd recommend these due to the short lifespan and massive amount of stretch.

I bought this shoe with fairly low expectations as a "beginner shoe" because of the rediculous price I saw on them at REI. Somebody had brought them back and I''m not sure why. However, I consider them a very good all-around shoe and have been shocked by their performance. They seem to front-point very well and the smearing is also good due to that amazing stealth rubber, though the shoe is quite stiff and lacks sensitivity. The shoe is also very supportive with little stretch due to the lining. I believe that these are the best shoes out there for beginning climbers as they are reasonably comfortable and perform quite well for a good suggested retail price. The new version is unlined with the new rubber side panel that is making its way into all five ten shoes. Haven''t tried them but I just want to make it clear that this review is for the older version of the Mojave though the newer version deserves a look.

Good Shoe. Smears like a SOB. The orange dye is a little annoying after the tenth time it turns you feet orange but it earned my shoes a nickname: Agent Orange. I would recommend 5.10''s to about anyone.

Customer Service

Excellent. REI is the best. Haven''t had to use 5.10''s.

A pair of gym shoes. Boreal Sharks or something. OK shoe didn''t nearly smear as well.

From reading the other reviews, it seems this shoe has a problem with the rubber peeling off near the toe. The same thing has happened to me, though it may be normal for about 5 months of bouldering/top roping an average 10-12 hours a week indoor and out. The lady who helped me at the store told me it would stretch, so i got them very tight. I don't think they've stretched much. Overall, for my first rock climbing shoe, i'm satisfied. the rubber sticks very well, the lining and stitching are holding up good. The shoe doesn't seem to be the best for toe-moves, but otherwise is adequate. probably some better values out there.
