I'm on my second pair and they pretty much kick ass on the steep stuff. Just be aware that the Stealth HF rubber will wear down quicker than C4. They run a bit small in sizing, so 5.10 says to size them a half size bigger than what you would wear in the Anasazis.

only a half size bigger??? I wear mine a full size bigger and they are still much tighter.

Try them on first is my only advice

VERY soft - as in no prayer of decent edging on vert stuff. But excellent on steep and scummy stuff. Try 'em on first. Low durability but what would you expect?

i have dragons, almost the same shoe, just with a fishhook midsole and velcro. very sweet on the steeps. i generally wait about a month before i even let my feet touch anything vertical with them though - too painfull :evil: and i can't backstep for about a week or at the end of the day - maybe i'm just a wuss or something b/c a friend of mine has a bigger foot but wears dragons a full size smaller than me - i guess his foot is just shaped to the shoe better, i dunno.

They actually edge very well, you just need strong toes.

If you have never worn any before make sure to try them on. You might not even be able to wear them, they give some people extremely bad foot cramps because of the camber.

This person is full of it, I've worn those awesome awesome shoes on V8 face, V7 slab.....its all good! There should be no thoughts just buy! I have had mine since X-mas and I climb all the bloody time on rock and in the gym and they are in tip top shape, just don't like I dunno, shoot them, or throw them in a fire, actually you probally could shoot them and they would be ok, unless it was like the top of the heel or right on the toe....
