Pros & Cons
Reasons to buy:
User Reviews
- Padded on the top for extra comfort.
- Specially built for low-volume feet and run smaller and narrower than most models (they may not be suitable for people with wider feet).
- Comfortable enough to wear all day.
- The pointy toe allows for good balance on small holds.
- The heel does not dig into the achilles tendon.
Expert Reviews
- Exceptionally grippy and responsive to features.
- Performs well while edging and does particularly well while climbing cracks.
- The velcro is easily adjustable for different foot widths.
- The double tab at the heel makes them easy to slip on.
- The material does not stretch out much over time, so the fit you get at the beginning is the fit you stay with.
Reasons NOT to buy:
User Reviews
- The material starts to smell bad after some wear.
- They are expensive.
- Not extremely durable.
Expert Reviews
- Not a good choice for toeing in sport climbs or on boulders.
- The rubber wears out quickly, and the shoe is overall less durable than those of a similar price.
Summary:
The Five Ten Anasazi LV Climbing Shoe for women is built for low-volume feet, and runs smaller and narrower than typical climbing shoes. The shoe offers good, sticky rubber and a sole that performs exceptionally well on edging and small footholds, and is responsive to the rock. Their comfort is top-notch, although for an expensive shoe, it is not very durable and the rubber wears out quickly.
