As a person who has gone through 2 pairs (One with a resole 2 times), it's a shame that Five Ten has discontinued the line. These shose excell in all day crack climbing. The lacing to the toe is what sold me on them by having the ability to tune the shoe where it is needed most.

These shoes fill a niche for me. I sized them tight and they are outstanding for edging and crystal climbing on slabs and vertical crimpfests, quite amazing what I have found myself standing on with them. But...Steeps are not the Newton's realm. They are too stiff and flat to really toe down with. And at a $150, they are too specialized, so buy them on sale somewhere and how you size them will dictate their use.

I use my Newton's when I need to keep them on all day. Very comfortable, good stickiness, and good in cracks. I don't use them for sport anymore, however because I need a shoe with better performance. It's true that they stink, but they wash up easily enough, and stay "fresh" if I keep a little cedar shoe insert in them.

I've had my first pair since '99 and love 'em! I love slab climbing, and long multi-pitch routes, and these shoes are great for both! My original pair have been resoled and still fit great and edge and jam cracks with precision. Still trying to get a second pair to fit as good as first.
Wide feet like mine? These will probably be a great fit then.

these are my tight shoes, i love them, for hard slab they rock, for over hang they rock, for vertical they rock, for small edging and smearing they can not be beat. they are a very still shoe, and they do stink to high hell but they are climbing shoes and all synthetic shoes i own smell so why would these be any different.
