Five Ten 5.10 Anasazi Pinks Lace-up Climbing Shoes USM 9 EU 42 Pinkies Pinky

The pinkies are no longer made! Worn very little. I wish I could use these, but it hurts my feet too much. An awesome technical leather-like lace-up. Stealth C4 rubber. Size US Mens 9. EU 42. UK 8. List price $165 ***REVIEW FROM OUTDOOR GEAR LAB*** "The Pinkies" are back! I actually bought a pair of the originals to save for slab emergencies when I heard they were discontinuing them many years ago. I still have them saved for just the right technical dead vert face or slabby project in my future. I've heard of a few world class climbers that had done the same thing. The proven shape and overall design of the Five Ten Anasazi VCS is tried and true and is given just a bit more stiffness and adjustability with the lacing system. This new version has an improved heel which is the most drastic change and also a much needed improvement. The new heel cup fits more snug allowing greater control when heel-hooking. The uppers are also lined with synthetic Cowdura to keep them from stretching out too much. The pink color might not be popular with most “manly men” so that could be the one downside and may have even contributed to its previous demise. All in all the new changes seem to be for the better. Time will tell if we give this shoe a full “Hands On Review” in the future or if it will just be another highly specialized piece of gear that doesn't quite make the cut.
