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.

I got size 10. I wear a normal shoe size of 10 but this was way too small, cramped and painful. Disappointing as I would usually go a half size smaller.
Aside from that I've had the Anasazi climbing shoes before and they were fantastic. Sticky, great edging. Wore on long alpine routes, short sports routes, indoor, trad etc. All round excellent. I was hoping for the same with these... but I will return and try a bigger size but it's a hassle.
Fingers crossed the size 11 is a better fit.
