I'm looking for an excellent bouldering/sport slipper that can edge and heel hook well, not to mention tackle overhangs with aplomb. So far, it's come down to the Five Ten V10 and the Evolv Agro. Which one is better? Help me choose!
Thanks,
Jon

They are pretty much the same shoe, only the Agro is made by Evolv and won't blow out as fast as the V10. The Agro is also cheaper, but neither excel at heel hooking.

Also, no slipper edges all that well--so, you have to decide what properties you are really looking for in a shoe.

the shoe YOU like the best and fits you the best...but hell, if it were up to me, I'd get a pair of miuras (but, then again, those aren't slippers...go with the v10s)

Just out of curiosity, what size shoe do you wear? I have a brand new pair of V10s, size 10.5, that I could trade you for say, $65 or so.

V10's. If you look at the new V10's, 5.10 put rubber all the way around the heel and across the toe for improved toe and heel hooking.

Thanks everyone. I've decided to go with the V10s (the new ones with the extra rubber on the toe). Your opinions were really helpful in my decision making. Thanks again.
