5.10 Anasazi Guide Review
|
Has anyone worn these recently and what do you think? |
|
Looking to use these on the Diamond this summer... Thoughts? |
|
Softer/potentially stickier rubber than TC pro but I would guess the TC pro edges better with its stiffer rubber. Overall the guide is still a relatively stiff shoe according to my girlfriend. Must be due to its construction or rubber thickness. The toe is thicker than the TC pro so I would imagine it does not do as well in thin cracks. Overall my gf is happy with the guide but I'm also happy that I chose the TC pro over them. Also it looks like the guide has less foot protection. I will say the TC pro's black fabric can get hot in the summer sun. |

I always hear a lot of great remarks on the TC pro, but they just don't fit my foot right. The Anasazi style has fit my foot great for years. |

guides are one of the stiffest overall shoes in the 5.10 line. stiff half sole midsole, C4 rubber. |
|
Thanks I'll keep that in mind... |

What last does the 5.10 Newton use? I like the toe box shape on them. |

I have a pair of these I bought a year ago. I downsized to a 10.5 (wear an 11 or 11.5 in street shoes) because my heel moved around in larger sizes. Proved to be a big mistake, as the shoes were torture for my toes. Unfortunately, I have Morton's toe (2nd toe only slightly longer than big toe) and a very wide forefoot and the Guides never fit my foot very well. I was always happy with the way they climbed (though I find them a little stiff) and love the Stealth C4 rubber. |

I've been wearing a pair of these on and off for a couple months. Alternating between these and the Moccasyms depending on whether I think I'll be smearing or edging more. |

I tried a pair of these on last week and had to go up a half size from my normal street shoe size for all day trad/multi-pitch |

I retired these and got 5.10 Stoneland VCS shoes. I got these in a size 12, which is 1 size above my usual street shoe size, and they fit great. First time I have ever upsized when buying shoes but it works.... |

Hey thanks Jim and Arin... |
