ROCKBOOTS

 

BUYERS BEWARE!!! Sizing on rockshoes varies a great deal. This is true, not only between different companies but also between different models from the same manufacturers. As most rockshoes are still hand-made, even the same sizes in the same model can vary! When you take into account too the varying amount of stretch one can expect, buying rockshoes unseen over the internet is not recommended. Therefore this service is intended for those who have already worked out what size and model they require but for one reason or another cannot get to a shop to make their purchase.

PLEASE NOTE, that we cannot under any circumstances at all accept returns of any rockshoes that have been "used" - not even a little bit! This includes a "just a few minutes on the wall to see what they feel like". Please try your boots on in your own home when you receive them. If you are unhappy with the fit we will refund or replace them provided that they are returned with their packaging and in (in our opinion) "as new" condition.

 

Sizing: Please, please, note sizes given are UK or Continental, not USA. Click here for a boot size comparison chart.

5.10 :

 


Five Ten - Vertical Mile

Vertical Mile Designed as a replacement for the Ascent and Newton end of the market, the Vertical Mile is said by 5.10 to be the ultimate all-around mileage shoe. It features hook and loop closure (ie "Velcro") straps for easy on/off convenience, an EVA wedge for cushioning and support on approach slabs and long descents, and micro-perfed leather uppers to let feet breath. Stealth Onyxx rubber soles for good friction, edging and long wear. Considerably stiffer than the Ascent (which is good), but not as comfortable when you first put it on.

Five Ten - Dæscent

Dæscent Super light (only 500g/pair UK 8s) approach shoe for boulderers and rock jocks. Smooth stealth rubber at the front for maximum friction when boulder hopping or doing easy routes/problems and a dotty tread at the rear for grip when descending. Lighweight breathable uppers with an elastic strap at the rear for attaching to a krab so they can be clipped to your harness, rucksack or bouldering mat.

The Dæscent is a comfy shoe, ideal for road trips and for hanging around classic climbing areas such as Font, Hampi, Hueco Tanks, Yosemite, and Joshua Tree. It is not really suitable or robust enough for approaching UK mountain crags due to the smooth nature of the sole and the lightweight materials used in the uppers.

It is also a great shoe for carrying in the alps and greater ranges, to slip on in place of mountain boots, for the occasional more technical rock pitch.

Five Ten - Anasazi Lace-Up V2 (White)

Anasazi Lace-Up V2 (White) Five Ten tinkered with their top-selling world famous pink Anasazi Lace-Up and the result was the Verde - more comfortable but roomier and with less edging ability as a result. Now they have done it again and achieved a shoe much closer to the original Pink, with a high tension heel that forces your toes to the front of the shoe, and a return to the original Stealth C4 rubber (Five Ten's super sticky Onyx rubber, whilst brilliant for most usages, is prone to creeping off the tiniest of edges on the hardest climbs - C4 is much more predictable in this respect in that it stays firmly put for as long as you can hold on).

A double rand and extreme stiffness mean that these will take considerable breaking in but are unlikely to stretch much either, a feature that is reinforced by the use of artificial fibre "Cowdura" for the uppers.

An ideal all round hard climber's shoe, equally at home on the smeariest of slabs as on overhanging walls. Do try them if you were a fan of the old Pink. Do consider them if you are climbing at E2 and above. Don't expect them to be comfortable straight out of the box (or ever, some would say!).

We stock from size 6.5 to 10. Unfortunately 5.10 do not make smaller or larger sizes at present.

Five Ten - Anasazi Verde (Lime Green)

Anasazi Verde (Lime Green) Five Ten have reworked their best selling technical rockshoe the Pink Anasazi Lace Up. As for the original pink version but with a revamped heel as per the new Velcro Anasazi giving a better and more comfortable fit and less dead space. However this has resulted in what has been reported as a roomier feel throughtout and marginal loss of edging ability.

Mega sticky Onyxx rubber on a stiff sole - a great comfortable crag shoe from E2/French 6c upwards for those for whom the old Pink or the new V2 White are just too damn painful!

We stock from size 5.5 to 11.5. Other sizes may be obtainable to order.

Five Ten - Jet7

Jet7 The Jet 7 is Five Ten's new hard-core bouldering, top end sport climbing shoe. It has the mega performance of the V10 with the convenience of a velcro so you can actually pull the shoe on and take it off without the risk of ruptured finger tendons.

Super slick styling coupled with an awesome down-turned toe and the stickiest sole imaginable make this possibly Five Ten's best ever shoe for elite or wannabe elite climbers.

Five Ten blurb:

"Testers Jibe Tribout and Fred Nicole call this the absolutely highest-performance shoe made. The Jet 7, a new sport climbing and bouldering shoe, has a down-turned toe, a durable lightweight upper, and super-sticky Stealth® H soles. Jet 7’s Green Rubber (which is really black) is a proprietary recycled rubber for toe hooking. The lined, synthetic slipper has minimum stretch, and features an elastic, dual-flap closure with a single Velcro® Brand strap for adjustability and power"

NB Sizing is quite generous on the Jet 7 - If you are a normal UK9 in shoes, probably take an 8.5 in Anasazis you could do with size 8 or even 7.5 in the Jet 7. If you are not sure order two sizes and then send one pair back.

Five Ten - Dragon Lace Up

Dragon Lace Up A total redesign of 5.10's famed Dragon. With its radically down-turned toe, the Dragon is designed exclusively for ultra-steep climbing. The lace system secures the foot for maximum power through the toe and in heel-hooking, and the perforated rand rubber gives the Dragon a sock-like fit. Stealth HF rubber.

Five Ten - Project

Project Gossamer sensitive shoes for the well honed pushing the hardest limits on boulders or overhanging walls. Absolutely no internal support so these need to be worn painfully tight. Definitely not for Little Cham! Five Ten bill them as "The most sensitive climbing shoe ever built. Designed exclusively for overhanging rock, the Project features Five Ten’s ground-breaking Prehensile technology that lets you use your feet like hands. Prehensile Technology allows climbers to grab like never before. Due to the unprecedented durability of new Stealth Mystique rubber, the Project’s downturned soles are only 2mm thick (other climbing shoes have at least 4mm thick soles). If you’re climbing hard overhanging routes outdoors or at the gym, the Project is the best choice."

Sizing is large - expect to drop at least a full shoe size - maybe more.

Frenzy Superbly comfortable all day climbing shoe with sticky rubber, a grippy padded heel for descents, and an excellent velcro fastening system that enables it to be worn with or without socks with ease.
