I have the Five.Ten Ascent. Great for walking around, great for cracks, good for edging . . . just no good on heel hooks (trad doesn't really need those, though, does it?). I wish they laced up, I have the Newtons, too, but I think the Hueco would have been the best of both worlds.

5.10 Huecos and used to use the Spire. My partner uses the T-Rocks for hard stuff and used to mostly use the Moccasyms.
Most of the climbing we do is in North Carolina (Linville Gorge, Moore's, Ship Rock, Rumbling Bald).

La Sportiva Synchros (low top version of the Kaukulators), with socks, Kaukulators never fit me right.
Mythos for slabbier stuff or thin cracks.

The Red Chili Salsalito. Nice and supportive. Great edging, fit. They have redesigned them so the board does not break, just make sure the ones you get know are blue not yellow. Yellow are old ones, blue is new design.

In reply to: http://www.spearshoes.com/...eaker%20converse.jpg i'd prefer the above, but i have the moccasyms. They feel like there is too much volume in the heel. Now that they've gotten a hole, i plan on just getting a new pair of shoes rather than resoling. i can buy a new pair of different shoes for the cost of the re sole. I used to have some horrid blue and gold boreals- they were like grease on butter. After Christmas I plan on getting the mad rock phoenix. i really, really liked them when i got the chance to try them out. Simple and comfortable.
:lol:
I'd really like to see someone wearing a pair of those at the crag. Just once.
5.10 Hueco's for me. Also the Scarpa Marathon's if it's a long crack route. FWIW, I'm on my 3rd pair of Hueco's. Love 'em.

Boreal Ace's...RESOLED WITH STEALTH RUBBER- FIRST THING!!! That Boreal rubber BLOWS!!!
I have 2 pairs of Aces One is a half size larger and I use them with socks for Big Mixed free and aid routes.
The other pair are a touch smaller and I use them for all free stuff.

Very happy with the MR Phoenix, it's my general purpose shoe now, very comfortable and sticky. It would be nice if they came out with a lined version that would control the stretch a little, but otherwise they are stellar.

5.10 Ascents and Anasazi Lace ups. Although I really miss my Zlippers. They rule in thin cracks.
