Product description
Versatile climbing shoes
If you’re the type of person who enjoys pushing yourself beyond your limits, then the Niad VCS from Five Ten is the way to go. Thanks to their stable construction and excellent grip, the high-performance climbing shoes can be used on granite, limestone, sandstone or in the climbing gym. Plus, they’re sensitive enough for you to edge on small ledges.
A great balance between comfort and power transmission
Thanks to the excellent transfer of tension from the heel to the front of the foot, you’ll have lots of support on the smallest edges. Additional support is provided by the moderately stiff sole, while the slightly asymmetrical last ensures you remain comfortable. In addition, the signature Stealth C4 sole gives you the friction you need to keep moving forward. Even the toes are covered with rubber for an enhanced grip and protection. The all-round Niad VCS will help boost your performance on both short and long climbs.
The highlights at a glance:
- A versatile all-rounder for climbing crags and indoors
- Comfortable construction to support your feet
- Durable workmanship
- Hook-and-loop straps allow for a great hold and a quick on/off

What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
My wife is using this product and she is quite happy. She was previously renting and she found this one a real upgrade. She liked the fit, grip and overall performance.
It is important to note that she is not a pro, she is a beginner, thus, a pro might think differently but we recommend it for beginners
