The Five Ten Men's Newton Shoe. Five Ten's stiffest shoe with a supportive midsole and sole designed for cracks, slabs and all day routes. Five Ten's patented S-Lacing and padded tongue gives a comfortable glove-like fit. Lined Perflex uppers are highly breathable and stretch resistant, with sticky Stealth Onyxx outsoles for durability and high friction dependability.
I have climbed a lot in these shoes and I love them. They work great for slab and crack. Perform pretty well for moderate bouldering and sport too. I was told to get my street shoe size which has worked well. If you get a half size down I think they would work great as an all around shoe.
I purchased these in size 12, which has always been my go-to size in 5.10s but they were just too tight. I kept them in hopes of stretching them out but ended up purchasing 12.5s also. Even the 12.5s are pretty tight. It is a padded shoe and I am sure they would be very comfortable with a better fit. I have only worn them a few times on slab and they just did not stick as good as the Stealth C4. So far, the quality seems to be good.
These shoes feel like a pair of tennis shoes, even after a few hours of wearing them. The build quality is exactly what you would expect from Five Ten. They are very light, breathable, and sticky. The one negative aspect to these shoes is that the front half of the sole is thick. You don't feel nearly as much as you would with a more aggressive shoe. These are not my go to shoe if I am planning on spending the day bouldering due to the thickness.I love these shoes when I am spending the day on my feet; be it at the gym for a few hours or at my local playground.

Me and my big feet did okay in these. I actually could trust my feet for once. But I wrote this review because I had to send back the 13 as it was too tight. Yes I know climbing shoes are supposed to be tight, but as the box says, pain is insane. I had pain, not tight. Return was hassle free, but then, I'd only put the shoes on once, on carpet.
This shoe is great for multi-pitch and slabs. If you plan on being in a pair of shoes all day this is what u need. Very durable and fit is tight over the whole foot. Only one draw back with this shoe, if the rock is cold 75 or below they do not stick well. when it is 110 here in Texas they work great. Well built shoe, should last for a very long time. I feel like the sizing should be fitted a half size larger than street shoe. I give 6 out of 10 stars

These are good shoes, I've had them for about 9 months now and everything is still holding up great. The lace up system is a flat lace and I've never had it come undone, the rubbers nice and sticky, and they very comfy I can wear them for 3hr straight easily. These shoes have a pretty thick sole especially in the toe which doesn't move very much or allow for much feeling. It's great for the longer climbs thanks to the support of the thick sole but not the best for bouldering. I think they're good shoes but for the price you could do better, so wait for them to be on sale.
