Product description
All-round, soft, microfibre climbing shoes
If you’re looking for all-round climbing shoes for long tours, crack climbing and climbing on sandstone, then look no further than the versatile Women's Niad Lace from Five Ten. Thanks to its durable microfibre material with the partial lining in the heel area and tongue, the climbing shoes are guaranteed to feel comfortable! The non-slip Stealth C4 rubber sole offers excellent grip even on narrow edges, slabs and along cracks.
They fit snugly and provide an excellent grip
The Women's Niad Lace feature slightly asymmetrical laces that offer an excellent, ergonomic fit especially at the heels. The stiff midsole also guarantees comfort and a good feel on the wall and on the crag! In addition, the forefoot is equipped with a durable rubber trim that provides extra grip, especially on slabs. Another great feature of the beautiful climbing shoes includes the practical pull-on loops that make for an easy on/off.
Here are the advantages at a glance:
- All-round climbing shoes for indoor and outdoor use
- Breathable, slightly elastic upper
- Non-slip Stealth rubber sole with an additional rubber trim at the toes
- Asymmetrical lacing for an optimal fit

This is what customers from around the world say:
I've order these climbing shoes in size EU 39 1/3, as my other climbing shoes (La Sportiva) are in sizing EU 39. And my normal shoe size is EU 40.
I have order this pair as I remember that 5.10 Anasazi used to be n. 1 climbing shoes in the US few years back.
But the shoes are at least 2 sizes smaller than they are claiming them to be! The sizing chart is absolutely off. The Eu 39 1/3 are in real life probably EU 37. I could not fit my feet in them at all. The shoes are also very narrow fit, so keep this in mind.
I am very unsatisfied as I had to return them and to pay the shipping fee due to misleading information of the manufacturer.
So please be cautious and try these climbing shoes in store only because otherwise they will not fit you.
I was initially drawn to these Five Ten climbing shoes because they look great, but unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.
Sizing is a serious issue. I ordered half a size up from my usual sneaker size and a full size up compared to what I normally wear in other climbing brands like La Sportiva, after reading that they run small. Even so, the pair I received feels at least two full sizes too small. This goes beyond a typical tight performance fit and points to misleading sizing information.
To make matters worse, returning them costs an additional €10, even though the sizing discrepancy is clearly not the customer’s fault. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

Disadvantages
Not comfortable Not adjustable
I wear a 42 size casual shoe and usually a 41 in climbing shoes (La Sportive reference!) .... I have the 43 1/3 in the NIAD. After I bought two pairs that were too small, this large size fits like a glove. The shoes are now an absolute dream for edging, slab climbing, and Multipitches.

Fits like a glove. It does run WAY smaller then my LaSportiva. As a comparison, my Solution is 3.5UK, this one I am wearing 5UK (on purpose as I am recovering from an injury, I wanted a bit bigger, still, the 4 could not even fit in).
It is impressively comfortable. I had an anazasi pro and hated, as it hurtme until its end of life... and after resoling it o_O
Super good grip, non aggressive, good toe and hook. I got it to be my confi multi and bouldering shoes
