I've found that the rubber on Sportiva shoes is pretty similar in overall stickiness to C4. Its just that most Sportiva shoes are stiffer than the average 5.10 shoe. Mind you, I've never worn any of Sportiva's softer shoes (I owned Muirras and Katanas), and I've only owned Moccasyms from 5.10, but even considering the other brands I've owned, the only truly terrible one was Boreal rubber, which was both soft and slick.
The rock condition (lichen, crumbly, smooth, etc) will affect your smearing tons more than your rubber.
