Advantages: Very agressive and down-turned Disadvantages: Sometimes has deadspace in the heel for some people
...This is FiveTen's most agressive and technical slipper and is very popular among both sport climbers and boulderers.
What has made this slipper so popular for steep wall climbing is its combination of a down-turned toe an d very soft midsole; making it sensitive and versatile. Many people are surprised to hear various hard gritstone slabs have been climbed in V10s, considering them designed for steep terrain only. However unlike most other slippers, the sole only stiffens quite close to the contact area. Support, however, is maintained due to its tight closure and very strong slingshot- especially considering the total lack of a midsole!
In all, its hard to find a boulderer that doesn't rate this classic slipper. Anyone looking for sensitivity and power- this is the shoe. However dont buy them if your thinking of climbing...

Advantages: Inexpencive, very clean and easy to use. Disadvantages: May not satisfy the EXTREME climber.
...5.Tens have gave me nothing but good, ever since i bought a pair of these Sapphire 5.Tens they have lasted me for almost 2 years. I live close to a climbing location so I climb at least once a week. These shoes have excellent souls, and are very comfortable on your feet. They have Stealth grip on them which basically means that the great is outragiously good. I would definately recommend these shoes to a friend no matter what experiance they have had. These shoes are definately made for anyone who climbs, experienced or not. The laces make it easy to adjust to the exact shape of your foot. These shoes wil definately get some "Oohs and Awws" from your buddies. I have been climbing for 5 years now and these have had to be the best shoes I have had....

Advantages: very sensative Disadvantages: slightly stiff sole
...What can you say about the most popular climbing shoe of all time?
This has become the most classic FiveTen model for sport climbing and bouldering. Used on countless of the worlds hardest sends this asymetrical, sensative and powerful shoe performs well on edging, smearing and in pockets. The new heel design has both deepened it and strengthed where the heel meets the lining- improving two of its early weak points. The new onyx rubber offers slightly more friction, although not to a substantial degree.
In all, the anasazi is the classic sport climbing she that is still hard to go past in terms of performance and quality.
They are sythetic and lined, but expect them to stretch about a full half size when tightly fitted....

A cinematic gem, directed by Frank Capra in 1944 and adapted from the play by Joseph Kesselring, 'Arsenic & Old Lace' should undoubtedly be on the 'must see' list for anyone vaguely interested in films, or anyone else who enjoys a laugh, for that... more

I love The Click Five. I really do. They're terrible. Really terrible. The most cheesy, clichéd , rubbish I have ever listened to.
But that's why I love them. Their songs really make me smile after a hard day, and their uplifting Powerpop beats really more
I was really looking forward to watching Starter for 10 after having read some positive reviews about in on both Dooyoo and Ciao! and also because it's British. I sat down to watch it last night with my husband, and although it was a reasonably enjoyable more
