Five Ten Men's Verdon Vcs Climbing Shoe

I actually own all 5.10 climbing shoes and these by far are the most comfortable. I have wide feet so I've had trouble finding shoes through my experience. I own 2 pairs of these. One is half my street shoe size and one is a full size up. Sometimes in the summer my feet swell up during a long sesh so I'll switch it up. I also use the full size up when I'm training on my home wall. These are a little bit higher volume but there's plenty to sinch down tight. They are extremely durable and the rubber is the best I've experienced by far. The boulders where I live are mostly slabs with tiny foot chips & smearing and these are PERFECT! All the 5.10's I own are the best shoes I've worn outdoors. My street shoe size is 10.5 and I own a size 11 and 11.5.

I have wide feet. I had size 12 Evolv Defy's and decided to go with size 11-1/2 on these (U.S. Mens sizing)The size 12 Evolv's I wore barefoot to fit, and the 11-1/2 Verdon's I wear with athletic (aka, thin) socks) so they'll vary slightly. Both of those descriptions are how I wear these shoes where they're tight enough my feet don't wiggle, but loose enough that I can keep them on for an entire bouldering session.As far as climbing - initially these were a little weird because the rubber on the bottom was slightly thicker. Pardon my lack of proper climbing terms, but I've only been bouldering in a gym for a couple years. I decided to get this pair once I got to around the V.5 level because they were more aggressive than the Defy's (shout out to /r/climbing for recommending these). Once I got used to them (again, initially I didn't really like the feel) I LOVED how much easier it was to put the point of my foot on tiny holds.Overall I'm very very very pleased

These are ideal for bouldering and they're the only shoe I've used for the past 2 years of my climbing career. As soon as my previous pair of shoes wore through the toe box, I bought a new pair to replace them.If you size the shoes correctly, you can wear them for a few hours at a time without undoing the velcro or taking the shoes off.Here's how shoes fit for me for comparison with yourself:I wear 8.5 (M) street shoes, 7.5 (M) Verdon VCS.The shoes fit like a glove: no wiggle room; slightly uncomfortable for the first week but stretches to fit perfectly.

I really love the shoes. Great rubber. Grips on anything. Not the best workmanship as far as the rubber shaping goes. For the price I expected a little better quality. Love climbing in them nonetheless.

These have moved into the #1 position on my quiver of shoes (~12 diff. pairs). There are a number of close seconds. The problem I have with LS Solutions is that they have a huge toes box, rendering them unusable to me. These shoes also have a big toe box, but I am still able to wear them.FYI: I have a narrow foot. If you are a 'C' width, these should be perfect.

I would recommend these to friends!

Works great and better than expected

A bit pricey but they are excellent climbing shoes.
