(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.

It was a serious question as I'm no spammer

If I still had my 1972 Datsun Bluebird, I'd have to get a pair of these.

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.

I rode today in Italian leather shoes by Soldini, $5 at a thrift store.

Which also has no meaning.

Interesting. 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.

You are reporting on how you liked two
different shoes. 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).
