I've bought this shoe MORE THAN ONCE! By Nicky tha Pebble Wrestler from Olympia, Washington on 04/01/2008 Pros: Adjustable, Stylin, Time-Tested, Versatile Cons: Heel not most desirable Best Uses: Bouldering, Indoor, Long Climbs, Outdoor, Sport climbing Describe Yourself: Avid Climber Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: With this late version of the anasazi lace up, the heel is the downside of the shoe; the sizing/width aren't to any extreme. Given price:quality:performance ratio of this shoe you cannot be beat it! This pick comes highly recommended.
By Mitko from Boston, MA on 03/28/2008 Best Uses: Indoor, Long Climbs, Outdoor Describe Yourself: Avid Climber Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great shoes! I'm 9.5-10.0 street size and the 9.5 Anasazis are a perfect aggressive fit. Initially I though I'd have to return them but after a month I can climb 3-4 hours in them w/o taking them off. Five-ten shoes have some of the best rubber in my opinion and the lining on the Anasazis is thinner than that on the Galileos which enhances sensitivity. Even so these shoes are not sensitive enough and the toe is not downturned enough for hard overhang climbing. The heel fit is odd but according to people that've owned them longer than me it's a matter of technique to make it work for you on heel hooks. Color is fine by me and laces are definitely worth the effort over velcro (I own 3 velcro pairs). These shoes excel at edging and smearing which is what they are made for!
Not true to size. color is fine By ashort84 from Austin, TX on 03/14/2008 Cons: very small, not true size Best Uses: Bouldering, Indoor, Long Climbs, Outdoor Describe Yourself: Avid Climber Sizing: Feels full size too small Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I had to send this product back twice and still they didn't fit! I decided to forgoe trying and bought the more expensive 5.10 gambit.
By skiflake from ft collins, CO on 03/14/2008 Sizing: Feels full size too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: just ordered these in the same size i normally wear, and these are at least a full size too small for me. so order a size up, for real!!!
Great edging shoe, size opinion here By Adam the Greeley Climber from Greeley, CO on 03/13/2008 Pros: Good Traction, Stiff midsole Cons: stiff mid = poor smearing Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels half size too big Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These shoes were great right out of the box. I've been climbing at a high level for 4 years now, and have used a LOT of shoes. I currently also have a pair of Five Ten Dragons, which I fit at my street size (which is snug). The T Rocks need to be fit a half (slightly snug, likely to stretch to being comfy enough for cracks) to a full size down (for a more aggressive fit). If one goes down more than a full size I'll bet anything that the width would become an issue. I REALLY enjoy these shoes, and I have owned high performance models from sportiva, five ten and evolv (dragon, venom, katana, predator, talon) Check out the T rocks if you want something a bit stiffer than the average shoe. Also: these really do edge amazingly well.

Nice Shoes, Watch the sizing though! By Renegade Rob from Northfield, MN on 02/28/2008 Pros: Durable Sole, Good Traction Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels full size too small Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I've been climbing for about 3 years, but this is my first pair of non-rentals, so keep in mind that that's what I'm comparing these to ;)
I love the synthetic slipper-style upper combined with relatively stiff sole and full laces for a super-secure wrap-around fit. As they claim, it is a hybrid best-of-a-couple-worlds shoe. Putting them on takes a couple minutes to get them adjusted and tightened properly, but once they are on, you're good.
Watch your size! I wear an 11 in (most)street shoes and ended up having to exchange my original purchase for a 12 just to get my feet in them (and yes, I am aware that climbers are supposed to be snug). Keep in mind, synthetic climbers don't stretch with time, the first time you try them on is how they'll always fit.
Overall, I really like 'em!
By Walt from NY on 02/27/2008 Pros: Durable Sole, Good Traction Cons: Flimsy insert, Hard to Walk In Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Sizing: Feels half size too small Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great firm rubber. Sticky as anything out there. Feels a little narrow, but i have wide feet. A little clumsy and flimsy to put on, but comfortable once in them. Good edges, not for crack climbs, but decent for small toe holds. Heel end is kinda stiff which may cause some blisters. But i think once i break them in i'll be happy with them.
By Derm from Dublin on 02/27/2008 Cons: Not good on long routes Best Uses: Bouldering, Indoor, Outdoor Describe Yourself: Avid Climber Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have bought many pairs and find they break in very quick, have great grip and are reasonably durable.
