Okay. So I may have your attention. This is a belated review of the Five Ten Razors. Those crazy green shoes with the lavender laces. I used to climb at the New every weekend and these shoes performed great on steep face climbs. Loved 'em!

I ’ ve had 2 exchanges due to size challenges and had the best experience both times. I am a fan!! These were Christmas gifts and got in time!

[ Very comfortable, overall pretty solid and gets the job done. I use these for everyday training in the gym. Compared to my more agressive shoes these can be used for longer sessions without any problems.

[ When I first found the Kronos model I was happy that I finally had found a shoe that seemed designed for a foot like mine. I could get a snug well- fitting feel that worked for everyday climbing either in the gym or outside at my local cliffs. Now I have an extra pair a half- size larger for longer multi- pitch outings so I can wear them in reasonable comfort for a few hours. Overall, I am very happy and satisfied with this Evolv model.

[ This shoe fits great. I ordered a size 10 Supra and it was to small, But this shoe in a 10 fits perfect. Great for wearing for extended periods of time.

[ We bought this as a beginner climbing shoe and it ’s done wonders so far. After climbing a couple of weeks in it, it hasn ’ t stretched out or deformed in any way. These will be keepers!

They 're comfortable enough for all day wear, but also have the fit for performance to be able to scramble quite well. ... Awesome fit, much more room at the toes than other approach

Awesome fit, much more room at the toes than other approach shoes. The grip on all types of rock is fantastic. Looking forward to summer adventures with these! Go a 1/2 size down for a closer climb fit.

5 CheckYourKnots
I 've used these on several days of cragging and a few scrambles in the flatirons and have been happy with the fit and performance on rock and on trail. I also wear them around town and to work. They 're comfortable enough for all day wear, but also have the fit for performance to be able to scramble quite well. Overall happy with them and would buy them again!

Frequently Asked Questions For Climbing Footwear

When selecting climbing footwear, consider features such as fit, stiffness, and rubber quality. A snug fit is essential for precision and control on the rock, while a stiffer sole can provide better support for technical climbs. Additionally, high-quality rubber enhances grip and durability, allowing for better traction on various surfaces.

Choosing the right climbing footwear depends on your skill level and the type of climbing you plan to do. Beginners may benefit from more comfortable, all-around shoes that offer versatility, while advanced climbers often prefer specialized shoes designed for specific techniques or rock types. It's important to assess your climbing goals and select footwear that aligns with them.

Climbing footwear comes in various types tailored for different climbing styles, including sport climbing, trad climbing, and bouldering. Each type features distinct characteristics, such as varying levels of stiffness and rubber thickness, to optimize performance for specific climbing techniques. Understanding the differences can help you choose the best footwear for your climbing activities.

The material of climbing footwear significantly impacts performance, comfort, and durability. Leather offers breathability and a snug fit, while synthetic materials can provide stretch resistance and moisture-wicking properties. Additionally, some materials are designed to enhance grip, making them ideal for specific climbing conditions.

While climbing footwear is primarily designed for climbing, some models are suitable for approach hikes as well. Look for features like a rugged outsole and comfortable fit to ensure they can handle varied terrain. However, dedicated approach shoes may offer better support and comfort for longer hikes, so consider your specific needs.

The fit of climbing footwear is crucial for performance and comfort. Shoes should fit snugly without causing pain, allowing for precise foot placements. It's important to try on different sizes and styles, as each brand may have a unique fit. Remember that some shoes may stretch over time, so consider how they will feel after breaking in.
