Five Ten

Five Ten Quantum
The redesigned Five Ten Quantum is billed as an all-round shoe, but where does it really shine? We weigh in.
2nd Look: Evolv Astroman
Hannah Trim takes a second look at the high-top Astroman, and makes some interesting observations about its sizing, shape, and stiffness.
Five Ten Women’s Guide Tennie
Thanks in part to its super sticky outsole, the Five Ten Guide Tennie is one of the best shoes on the market for cragging days, short approaches, and easy climbing routes.
Five Ten Water Tennie
Five Ten's Water Tennie is comfortable in the boat, yet its Stealth Rubber sole still provides good traction for difficult portages.
Five Ten Stonelands VCS
Though not an edging machine, the Five Ten Stonelands VCS strikes a good balance between sensitivity and performance. It also marks a new step in climbing shoe design.
Five Ten Maltese Falcon Bike Shoes
The Five Ten Maltese Falcon is a durable biking shoe that provides great traction. It's also comfortable and pedals well, especially if you've got wide feet.
La Sportiva Python
La Sportiva calls the Python their premier comp shoe, but the real story is how comfortable this high-performance slipper is.
Five Ten Dragon
The Five Ten Dragon is an aggressive shoe designed to excel on high-level boulder problems. It delivers, and then some.
Five Ten Team 5.10 (Blue)
The Five Ten Team 5.10 is a great technical sport climbing and bouldering shoe that performs well on just about everything you can throw at it—especially if you have narrow feet.
Five Ten Blackwing Women’s
The Five Ten Women's Blackwing is an aggressive, slim, relatively comfortable climbing shoe that's most at home on anything overhanging. But they offer no protection from being klutzy.
