Comments about Five Ten Coyote Rock Shoes - Unisex:

Let me first say that I've been very impressed with the Five.Ten brand--they make a great shoe. I own another pair of Five.Tens which I absolutely LOVE (the Anasazi Verde), and another pair of Five.Tens are on my wish list (the Dragons)... niether of which REI sells, but that's ok. I know where to find them. :) But there's nothing wrong with the quality of that brand of shoe at all.

However, when I was first getting into climbing and saw a need for rock shoes and I went to REI look for a pair. The sales associate was helpful, but he told me that I wanted a pair of comfortable shoes that I could destroy while learning footwork. The problem was that I went "up the grades" so fast (and I'm certainly no climbing prodigy) that I really never had a chance to destroy them. It didn't take too many attempts at 5.9s to see that these shoes were not going to get me where I wanted to go. I'll still use the Coyotes as a warm-up/cool down shoe for easy stuff, but even then I notice that they slip off edges that my Anasazis would have stuck to like glue. And forget anything really steep in the Coyotes. Just forget it right now.

Now I will say that if you aren't worried about about something that really performs well, and more focused on comfort, then this would probably be a great shoe. But if you try to climb anything hard on it, it'll ruin your footwork. I'm trying to figure out a good use for them because my pair of Coyotes are far from trashed and I want to get my money's worth out of them.

I shouldn't have let the sales associate talk me into these shoes. I should have stuck to my guns for something initially more painful and higher performing. Oh well, at least I have a better idea of what to look for in shoes now and what my own preferences are.

I marked that I would not recommend this to a friend because most of my friends are working hard trying to improve their climbing and would probably run into the same problem that I did if they bought them. Mileage with your own friends may vary.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Five Ten Coyote Rock Shoes - Unisex:

This shoe is like wearing socks. It is an incredibly comfortable shoe. The Rubber takes in 2-3 days to break in, and it sticks like glue. Great for both smearing and edging. While the shoe isn't as stiff as its Velcro sibling, the shoe offers great sensitivity.

Onto the bad part. This shoe is incredibly flimsy. Other than the fact that the rubber wears away quickly with sloppy footwork, this shoe falls apart. After three months, you won't have to just replace the rubber, you're going to also have to replace the stitching to the entire shoe. The sides to these shoes have lost all sort of hold to the other pieces of leather.

No edges, No Jaming Capability, No toe

    Best Uses

      Comments about Five Ten Coyote Rock Shoes - Unisex:

      I will not describe myself in any of those groups. I am just a climber. This shoe is a bust. I love the color and the fit.

      A climbing shoe is either a climbing shoe or it isn't and this shoe cannot hold an edge. It is too flimsy to support any kind of a jam in a crack too. Also, the toe is WAY too flimsy to hold on any kind of a real nob.

      This shoe was designed to climb a 5.4 - 5.5, maybe a 5.6 and look really cool while doing it. Yet, as the other rock lizards out there will tell you, you don't really need a "rock shoe" in those grades. Even if the average person only has a rock gym available, that average person will be climbing to 5.8's and to 5.10 in a month. So there it is - a "5.10" that isn't.

      It is way too flimsy to support any one type of rock situation well. This is a dog. Move along to another shoe. It cannot jam and it cannot edge, at all.

        Comments about Five Ten Coyote Rock Shoes - Unisex:

        I climb two to three times a week for a few hours each time and these shoes are amazing, I climb with mostly really experienced climbers and I really wanted my own shoes so a about 4 months ago I went in search of a pair that I could afford (since I am a nursing student) and that I felt could do a good job. I love these shoes because they are secure on my feet, the only problem I have found is that they have given me a heel blister quite a few times, I found that a little piece of tape over my heel has helped and now the problem is almost gone. Love them!

          I boulder a lot, but I'm new to the sport. This shoe fits comfortably out of the box and is fitted with a very sticky rubber (stealth C4). I love these shoes. note these shoes don't edge or smear as well as others. my other pair of rock shoes is the Montrail Zealot. They have a more aggressive shape so they're a little better for edge and smear stuff but I still prefer my 5.10s - they definitely get the job done! I wear size 10s which fit me fairly snug, so I just got the same size for my 5.10s - great fit with plenty of room to lace up tight when they stretch out!

            These shoes have some of the best rubber composition for the price. I highly recommend these for a first set of climbing shoes or for climbing that is not too extreme. I wear a size 12 shoe normally and a 11.5 in this climbing shoe. They are not too uncomfortable for climbing shoes due to the fact that they are not very aggressive.

              Comments about Five Ten Coyote Rock Shoes - Unisex:

              This is my first pair of shoes, thought I have tried others, and I think it is a great beginner shoe. You will want to buy them about 1 size too small because they will stretch and you may want to keep a little bottle of powder to put in them after you climb, but my guess is that will be true for most shoes. Once they were broken in (stretched out) they were very comfortable. This only took about three days of climbing to accomplish. I could wear them all day now. For a beginner, I find them to be plenty sticky and functional, although I agree with some of the others that they are not quite as good on the edge as I would like.

              Comments about Five Ten Coyote Rock Shoes - Unisex:

              This is a trad shoe to be used primarily with slab, cracks, and long multi-pitch. This is not an edging shoe. The shoe is narrow and is perfect for my feet. The rubber is very sticky and gives good foot sensitivity. The flexibility of the shoe allows good smearing on hard slab routes from 5.easy to 5.11+. The shoe is good for beginners developing their footwork to experts who have good footwork necessary for hard slab.

              The shoe is not the most durable, although this is my primary trad shoe. The rand has begun to delaminate and some of the stitching has fallen apart. A good cobbler can fix most of that with some glue. Despite the durability, I will continue to use this shoe and buy more in the future.

                  Ok, after a couple trips to the gym when I decieded to get serious about climbing, I realized i needed shoes. I didn't want to spend a lot of green, but I wanted something that would be nice and durable that would last me a least until I'm ready for a more advanced pair. These shoes did just that. Simply put, they get the job done.

                  -Yes, they do turn your feet red...deal with it, that shouldn't be such a problem.
