This is a replacement favorite for my Anasazi lace-ups. Brian at Evolve went way out of his way to make sure I had a good fit - even sending me four pair in the mail (with no money from me) to try and return the shoes that didn't fit. He did this for me after messing up on a meeting we had set at Rockreaction.

The shoes fit my foot great and are an excellent replacement for my Anasazi's. The heel cup fits far better because of a slightly less radical sling-shot rand than the 5.10 shoe. Don't let this worry you because the rand still crams the front of the foot nicely into the toe box very effectively. The shoe edges on anything with authority, but because of the sling-shot rands effect on the front of the foot you will find smearing somewhat compromised unless you size up. (but then you lose edging power) That said, I have used my shoes on everything with total confidence. The construction is solid and these should hold up for quite awhile.
