Summary:
The Five Ten Anasazi Lace-up Climbing Shoe shines for its exceedingly sticky rubber and medium stiffness that makes it particularly good for crushing granite faces and cracks. While the laces wear out quickly, the lacing does allow for a very adjustable fit, and the design of the heel has been re-worked for maximum comfort and snugness. While the shoe is not the best for bouldering or on overhanging terrain, it is a great all-around shoe that is exceptionally versatile and comfortable for most feet.
