They're built on the same last as the Dragons.
As for function, Dave Graham has cracked off V15 and .14D in them recently. But I haven't actually heard any reviews from us mortals...

The V10s are not listed on the 5.10 website yet. I saw them in a climbing shop in Boulder, Colorado and they are some funky-ass shoes. The fabric that they are made of has a very wierd texture.

hmmmmm, the v10's look very promising. And like said before they are constructed like dragons. I think i like the dragons though because of the two velcrow straps. It would possibly hold to my foot better. I dont know, its a tough choice.

There are a few people who climb at my local gym who are sponsored by Boreal. They say that the new Boreal shoe called the "Pyros" is pretty cool. They also say that the heel on it is way better than other shoes made by boreal. Go check 'em out on www.borealusa.com !!

Personally I would stick with the anasazi or the dragon, they hold the shoe to your foot very well! The last on the dragon is definitely great though, so the v10 might not be to bad. I would suggest trying them on and seeing how they fit your foot. If you like the feel go for it, 'cause you can't lose with the last. Make sure that you are climbing vertical or steep climbs, with edges and pockets though. The dragon last does not smear to well!

I wore V10's for about an hour long bouldering session about a month ago. I loved them, they hurt a bit at first... Something all dragon wearers can attest to. But it got better as soon as you realized the potential of the shoe. Since I work in a gym and can pro deal, I'm going to order a pair once I get my federal tax return back

Yeah, I went the pro deal route too and I am pretty excited about getting them. I just hope they fit like they are supposed to. Five Ten said I could return them if they didn't though.

Well, I got the V10's in and I must say I am impressed. They have a thicker sole than what you might see on a high performance shoe, thin midsole and heel, but they edge and front point like nothing I have ever seen. The rubber is as sticky as advertised, but smearing was difficult because of the downturned toe. The heel is slightly loose on my foot, but nothing to really complain about. In my opinion, they were pretty comfortable too. Over all, they ROCK!
