Reviews overview
This is what other customers say:
Bought these to replace a pair of Scarpa Veloces as I have a wide forefoot and these looked suitable for mixed-use climbing. They are definitely "wide" and have a more "squared" toe profile than other shoes I have tried on and therefore were quite comfortable without allowing the shoe to rotate around my foot (a problem i was experiencing with the veloces). They also provided much greater edge stability/confidence than my veloces.
However, the smearability of the 5.10's left a lot to be desired, especially compared to the Scarpa's, as i felt my feet were slipping where they would not have previously. Also felt as though i blew through the soles of these far quicker than my veloces, but this could just be due to me toe-dragging more than I would like to believe :B
All in all, good intermediate shoe for mixed-use. Laces help with dialling-in the fit and preventing relative movement between foot and shoe. However, rubber is not the stickiest.
