The Five Ten VMile Climbing Shoes for Men and Women are great for long multi-pitch, walk off, routes where comfort is of the utmost importance. The EVA insert in the heel makes it feel like you are walking on clouds and the breathability is great.

love em
i love these shoes! was looking to replace my old 5.10 ascents and went with these....they are perfect for all-day climbing, but also have good edging and a pretty aggressive toe. highly recommended!
Great Shoe
Fit: Size down by 1/2 size US shoe Size Purpose: Trad, gym, sport (but nothing too crazy) Why I Bought these: I was looking for a shoe to complement my 5.10 Anasasi shoes but would not kill my feet on multi pitch climbs. I thought these might be a little too cushy, but they fit and feel great. I have used them all the way up to 5.10c climbs and have not had any issues. The sole is much stiffer than the Anasasi shoes, but does not feel like a board. They edge and smear good. I would recommend these to anyone that is looking for comfortable moderate performance shoe. Quality: Like most 5.10 shoes they are built to last. Pros: Quality, comfort with minimal performance sacrifice. Cons: the velcro straps are a bit long and the red leather leaves some marks on your feet.
Comfortable sport/trad shoe
I alternate between the VMile and the Anasazi Verde shoes, depending on how long I plan to be out. The Anasazi's are great for bouldering and climbing where you use the form-fitting heel a lot. However that feature tends to push your foot forward into the toe, and I found myself constantly adjusting. With the VMiles, the heel has a less "springy" fit, so I can wear them much longer. The Velcro straps are quite long, I had to cut them down since I don't have a huge foot volume. The soles are a bit more cushioned than most other shoes, and the Stealth Onyx works great on both gym walls and rock faces.
