I have had several pairs of Five Ten shoes over the years, including the Guide Tennie and another freerunning shoe. All of these have served me well for their intended purposes. As I was in need of a new set of light hiking/approach shoes, I again turned to the wunderkind at Five Ten to solve my needs with the Camp Four. The nature of my work takes me from places like Afghan mountains to third world cities, so I need a versatile, yet rock solid shoe. The Camp Four does it all for me. Light and comfortable, the Camp Four provides excellent support throughout the heel area with the exoskeleton like support structure. The sole is firmer and more protective against rocks and sharp surfaces than something like a trail running shoe, yet required next to no break in. If you are looking for a low top approach shoe, I feel you will hit the apex with the Camp Four. Look no further. I cannot wait until Five Ten releases the new Pursuit boot, so I can flesh out my hiking needs with a mid top boot. Zappos again proves that it is the finest vendor of footwear on the planet. I cannot recommend their business enough.

These shoes are comfortable with a nice wide toe box. I have bunions and trouble with my feet, and these feel fine on; the only criticism I have of them is that they feel like they need more padding inside. That\'s easy to fix with an OTC insole. I wasn\'t expecting how CUTE these are! Also got a pair of Ahnu\'s which are actually more comfortable but these are so much cuter. These are keepers for sure, as is Zappo\'s. Great customer service. I ordered these online on a Saturday and had them at my doorstep on Tuesday. Thank you, Zappo\'s!

Love. These. Shoes. These are now my favorite shoes. I use them for everyday wear and mountain biking. They are wicked stylish and well constructed. I wasn't sure about them to begin with. The soles are very stiff out of the box, and it takes several wearings for them to loosen up. As others have mentioned, they are low cut and have a very low arch, which for me is a huge bonus. They are great for building your arches and keeping them strong. I can also confirm what others have mentioned as well about them running a size too small. I had to send back my first pair and order larger ones. Anyway, overall, much love for the Guide Tennies. Just give them a chance to get broken in. Oh, one last thing, the stealth rubber is by no means "non marking." I was surprised by how easily they will leave marks on the floor. Not a deal breaker by any means, but it seemed strange to me. I've never seen anything like it.

Excellent shoes. The grip will last forever and works really well, and the shoe itself is extremely comfortable, though it\'s tough and durable. Excellent free-running (or any exercise, really) shoes.

Seems great so far. Just bought these. Was nervous about the fit and downturned toe at first. The shoe is about as tight as it can get for me and I was worried it would not stretch much due to the rubber toe box. After a few times wearing it around the house it started to conform to my feet and is starting to get as comfortable as you would expect. I expect after a few climbing sessions it will get better. I was worried the downturned toe would effect smearing and edging, but does not seem to be a problem thus far. The downturned toe really helps when toeing in on small holds. Forefoot seems very stiff, could be for edging stability, but it is still supple enough to feel the hold. The closure works fine if the shoe fits right. Size too big and you will notice slippage. Heel fits nice and tight and does not feel like it will come off, but have not tested that yet. My only real complaint is the toe box does not feel as comfortable as leather or other synthetic materials, but it does conform to the foot. We will see after a few months how well it really performs.

These are my second pair of Canyoneer shoes. The first pair served me well! The second pair is built strong, but I managed to break the rubber piece that holds the buckle on my first trip out. There is a lot of taking off and putting on when Canyoneering in the the wilderness of south eastern Utah. Other than that, the shoes fit great! I bought them online, too, so that is a plus.

Overall Rating:

Perfect for low volume feet - I try not to buy in to the marketing hype, but the "magic fingers" heel on these is fantastic. I am a woman with very low volume feet. I wear an 8.5 street size and tried these in both an 8 and 8.5, usually I have to downsize just to keep my heel in a shoe, but with these I was able to have solid contact in the heel of these and comfort in my toe box with an 8.5 in these. As always Stealth C4 is sticky and the lined synthetic upper is great at controlling stretch. I'll be resoling these for a while.

I bought the newer \'scribble\' pattern version of the 5-10 freerider. I really like this shoe for flat pedal riding. The sole is a good bit stiffer than most, and it is almost too sticky to the pedal. This is not a non marking sole, so dont wear them in the house. These shoes are not comfortable for casual wear,the sole is very solid. They seem to be made for one thing, riding. I like the construction, just the right amount of padding on the tongue, not an entire pillow on the top of your foot like some skate shoes. I like the profile of the sole, nothing wraping around the side of the foot to interfere with the crank, just a well though out riding shoe. But if you like to move your feet around when you ride, try another brand of shoe, these grip that well.

These are my first (and so far only) climbing shoes. They took me up to the 5.11 range before developing a huge hole in my toe (8 months of heavy use). Yes, they stretch a lot. They will eventually conform to your feet even. Because of this, they are super comfortable. I would highly recommend these shoes to beginner climbers.

The five ten DH shoe's are amazing, I have ordered two pairs. Sizing: I ordered a pair of size 10s (because when I wear etnies that's the size I go with). Also a pair of 9.5s (because that's what I wear for for sportier shoes, like running or basketball). The size on this shoe fits very well what your foot is measured to be at the shoe store, so I wear the 9.5s in this brand of shoe. Comfort: For mountain biking I have worn just about every type of shoe. If you don't use clips then the five ten DH's are arguably the best for mountain biking. They really do grab the pedals well and compared to etnies, Nike, Converse, or CD shoes these are far superior for any type of mountain activity. They are very comfortable, don't slip on rocks very easily when climbing or hiking (if you haven't read the description for the rubber on the tread of the shoe, you need to. these shoes really do what the description says). One more thing, I don't have the greatest knees. When I wear certain shoes eventually my knees will start to feel it. I have not had that happen with these shoes. They are very supportive, very comfortable for jumping 'round in and being rough or chasing my bike when I lose it. I wear these shoes everywhere! Just not on gym floors, the rubber is great for outside activities but it leaves the worst streaks I have ever seen on indoor floors. I suppose that has something to do with exactly what they are made for. Style: All my friends think they are awesome, girls I meet even like them and have sought out to buy a pair for themselves and I like wearing them 'round here cause I haven't met anyone else that has them (small city).

The Camp Four is fantastic. It's comfortable to wear loosely in the urban jungle. I wear them to work in NYC and on a trip over the weekend sightseeing in Boston. But more importantly, they snug down perfectly for the trek into the crag and the 5.10 rubber does everything it's supposed to do on the rock.

After a long haitus from five ten shoes, I recently switched back to the Anasazi, my first climbing shoe. It is certainly one of the best climbing shoes available. I primarily boulder, and it is my go to shoe, despite the high cost.I find that 1.5 sizes smaller than a street shoe is the perfect fit, tight enough to get the job done without breaking your feet.

Great shoes. I have been looking for a general \\\'urban hiking\\\' shoe for quite some time and these have been great- both stylish and comfortable. I use them for trekking about town and for occasional biking. Rubber hugs the ground, so I imagine they would hike/climb well too. Very cute, nice fit and comfortable.

These shoes are the best. This is my third pair and the first haven't even worn out yet, but I just keep fearing Five Ten will discontinue them so I keep buying more. Great grip on the rock for steep approaches and, even more important, on tricky descents. Snug, but not too tight and fully adjustable, keeps my feet from wobbling. Comfy, but secure. I wear one pair to work as I work 12 hour shifts in a hospital, on my feet all the time. Can't say enough good about these for my feet.

Took them on a weeks backpack trip right out of the box. UPS to the trail never wore them before that. Week long trip with 3 days of serious cross country and rock scrambling. One day we hiked 26 miles. Epic. The shoes performed perfectly. The C4 rubber was like I was wearing my climbing shoes. I was safe and secure while my partner was struggling. She was wearing another brand of approach shoe and slipped often. She actually fell a few times due to slippage. I got no blisters. That is a first for me. Best hiking shoes I have ever owned to date. Highly recommend them. Buy big enough to allow for foot swelling and to keep your toes from hitting the end while carrying a heavy load down hill. Bought the girlfriend a pair before this weekends 4-day outing and they worked excellent. Big difference over her other approach shoes. We are both happy hikers.

I also own and wear the Impact high-top version and low-top version, in addition to the Freerider. In comparing the three, the Impacts have much more padding and stick to the pedals much better. The Freeriders are more BMX oriented. Easier to slip into without having to untie the laces. The traction is what is a little different from the Impacts. The circular nubs that are the traction of the shoe aren't raised as much as the Impacts. This gives the shoe much less sticking power to the pedals. I'm assuming it is specifically for jumps where taking your feet off the pedals in the air is required. They definitely are not for downhill as the less traction provided by these shoes can cause your feet to bounce or skip around on the pedals. When I wear the Freeriders the wearer can feel the bottom of the shoe is almost concave; meaning the shoe does not feel completely flat on the pedals. It feels as if the sides of the bottom are making contact with the pedals, but the very center of the toebox makes little contact resulting in less traction as well. All in all they are decent. I would say if your strictly jumping, then these shoes are great. For freeride and downhill I would go with the Impacts. The Freeriders look cooler of course. I've not tried Vans, but I bet the Freeriders probably stick just as good if not better. I wouldn't mind checking out the Teva B-1 just out of curiousty, but the Five-ten Impacts coupled with Straitline pedals make my feet stick like glue to those pedals. Here's to no injuries.

These are the best shoes of this kind I've ever owned. They're lightweight without being flimsy and unstable, they're really comfortable, and perfect for all the ways you need, light hiking, running around and generally better than sneakers shoes. True to size, really great looking too, I might add. I loved them so much that I got a 2nd pair just in case they stop making them.

Boots are good except for the cushioning. I would suggest buying an insert for them. I just hiked the Narrows river in Zion National Park and I could feel the rocks that I was stepping on. Other than the padding the shoe comes with I think they are awesome for water hikes.

Zappos gets a big + for the service they provided! My friend was visiting US for a short time and I really wanted these shoes from the States, since this is not available in India. I faced difficulty in using my credit card and Zappos customer care person who was online swiftly helped me resolve my issues. The shoes were shipped in next business day and reached my friend real fast. Thanks Zappos! About the shoes: I have wore them casually for a day now and they are pretty snug now, the shipped size and fit were spot on, no problems here. I guess I got to break them in. The sticky rubber is good, I haven't used it on my bike yet. .The design rocks! I will write a review about the shoes' performance later.

Since I use platform pedals, I have always made do with using old hiking shoes, etc. when I mountain bike. Riding with this shoes really make a difference. They have a great surface for sticking to the pedals, protective padding about the ankles, yet still allow freedom to quick dismounts when trying very technical terrain. Definitely love these shoes, they were comfortable from day one!

Great shoe! A bit tighter in the toebox than the fiveten Karver. Next time I probably would order a 1/2 size larger but all is well for now. This shoe does the job for tooling around town on my Swobo. This shoe provides the extra sticky foot power for stopping and has more stiffness than my vans can provide for pedalling. Zappo did it again for providing fast, efficient service. Thanks.

Very nice all around shoe, I wear them on and off the bike. Definitely in the skater style, they look a little goofy with the low-rise socks I prefer. Works well on the pedals, but in retrospect I would have gotten a high top and not the low, I've wiped out a couple of times and not having protection on my protruding ankle bone has meant some nasty road rash.
