They have real sticky rubber soles _THEY_SUCK_ (Actually, I have no idea if they suck. But spammers do, especially ones using poor grammar). They make great rock climbing shoes, where sticky soles is key. No idea on their cycling stuff. |

Five Ten knows marketing: they gave their rubber a cute name ("Stealth") and played it up in their ads. They were successful in that lots of people believed it was better than other brands of rubber. (In blind tests, climbers couldn't tell the difference.) I've used several brands of climbing shoes. My Five Ten shoes all fell apart faster (i.e, lasted through fewer resole jobs before the carcass came apart) than any other brand I've used. Tom Ace |

I'm not much of a climber, but do it sometimes as my best friend is a quite serious climber. He loves the 5.10 shoes. Guess everyone's experience differs. As for the rubber, even my inexperienced climbing self can tell the difference between the shoes the gym rents and the 5.10s my buddy gave me. Rubber/sticky tends to vary from shoe to shoe even within brands though, so it's hard to tell anything on that. |

The blind tests I had mentioned used the same shoe models, differing only in what rubber they'd been resoled with. Fit matters more than the material (a concept that will be familiar to readers of this group). Tom Ace |
