Comments about Five Ten Moccasym Rock Shoe:

I wear a 10 1/2 street shoe and a 9 1/2 in these. They are a very comfortable shoe that is flexible and allows you to feel the rock with your feet. They aren't good for beginners because they aren't stiff enough and will require good foot strength on smaller footholds. They are great for more advanced climbers because you can feel foot placements better and flex just right to grip. For climbs with lots of micro-edging this is not the ideal shoe, but for most climbs, especially those with lots of smearing or toe pockets, it is outstanding.

Great all around shoe

By Max L

Comments about Five Ten Moccasym Rock Shoe:

These are my favorite shoe. They are flexible and comfortable, especially great for training, bouldering, and crack climbing. They stretch quite a bit though, so buy them painfully small and they'll stretch to fit perfectly. They don't edge very well either, so I would recommended having a second shoe as well.

Comments about Five Ten Moccasym Rock Shoe:

I love these shoes. I know it's common to hear that you should buy them a size to a size and a half too small, but personaly I think that's a bad idea. I wear a 10.5 on the street, and I wear a 10.5 in these babys. I don't climb every day, but maybe 2-3 times a week, and they're holding up well. While they've stretched out, they just feel more comfortable, not loose.

Comments about Five Ten Moccasym Rock Shoe:

I was skeptical about not having laces or Velcro, but once I put these bad dads on it fit like a glove. I would recommend getting a size or half a size smaller because these do stretch, but once they are broken in they are an amazing shoe. I also like the fact that 5.10 makes a wider shoes because Sportiva is just a little to narrow for my foot. All and all, these shoes far exceed my expectations.

Comments about Five Ten Moccasym Rock Shoe:

Bought these as a secondary more comfy shoe for easy on/off, and love em. Initially they were quite painful...my tightly fitting aggressively down turned Muira's were more comfy! I actually almost sold these because I didn't think they were breaking in enough. That's not the case now (I bought them 2.5 months ago). Here is what I did and what ended up working: buy the smallest size that you can stuff your foot into. Yes I'm serious...just make sure you can get your foot in the shoe without too much struggle, but buy the smallest size you can wear. Next, go home and put the shoe on. Then wear them in the shower or bath with hot water (soaking them in hot water while wearing them is the best). Be warned that the red dye will run off and could stain surfaces if you let the red water stand for too long. Then go put a few grocery bags over your feet and kill some time on the computer or reading. Doing this method helped me get the final break in to make room for my toe joints. I normally wear a 11.5 in street shoes (North Face hiking shoes), and a 43 in Muira's (lace up). I got these in a 10.5 and with the above method, they are great!

Hands down best crack climbing shoe made

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

crack climbing
Long Climbs

Comments about Five Ten Moccasym Rock Shoe:

This is the best crack climbing shoe made. There is a reason when you go to Indian Creek that everyone wears this shoe. It excels from super wide off-widths to the thinest of finger cracks. Its comfortable and with a good fit can edge just as well as any other shoe. This is also a great pair of shoes for a long day at the crag or for multipitch climbs because the shoe is super comfortable. The bottom line here is if you are looking for a great all around shoe that can do anything and excel in cracks then this is the best shoe to get.

Comments about Five Ten Moccasym Rock Shoe:

These shoe have been a fav of mine for years! I use them for warming up on all kinds of climbing and pick them for hard cracks. They've been around for a long time and people love them. You will too! Buy them a bit tight and they'll stretch to a perfect fit. I go 1.5 size down from my street shoe size. If you like a more snug heel for heel hooking check out the X5.

True to size - Do NOT size down

By CA Marc

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Five Ten Moccasym Rock Shoe:

I would highly recommend getting these shoes in your street shoe size.

I, regrettably, listened to other reviewers who had said to size down. I ordered a size 6.5, rather than my street shoe size of 7. I climbed in the gym in these half-size smaller shoes on M,W,F. I tried sucking up the pain, but by the third day the pain became so distracting I was not seeing holds right in front of me because my mind was so focused on the pain in my feet. I had little choice but to return the shoes....there was no way I could continue using these for another week in the hopes they would stretch out, let alone months.

If you order these shoes, I would highly recommend ordering them to your actual shoe size....unless, of course, you are a masochist. :)

Comments about Five Ten Moccasym Rock Shoe:

This shoe is terrible and am returning it to the store. First off, durability is a problem. After a month the stitching is coming apart between the fabric and rubber. It edges about as well as a sneaker on ice. If it does grip, you're likely to have your foot end up sideways inside the shoe. This is my fourth shoe, and by far the worst I've ever had. I'm getting my optimus prime resoled and never going away from that one again.
This shoe is probably decent if you're going to be outdoors on easy routes, since it's comfortable enough to keep on for a while. Someone else mentioned buying small. Definitely do that as these things stretch like crazy.

Comments about Five Ten Moccasym Rock Shoe:

The 5.10 Moccasym is my bread and butter shoe. I climb on granite and this shoe excels at all forms of climbing, especially thin crack and multipitch. It's comfortable, sensitive and performs at a high standard as long as you fit it snug. It is also a great bouldering shoe due to it's incredible sensitivity.

It's not the only shoe in my quiver, but it's one that is used the most often!
