I've worn both Five Ten Mesas (stiff sole, good for edging) and the Five Ten Saphires (softer more sensitive sole) for longer trad routes. I prefer a softer sole, getting more sensitivity. Never felt that I could smear in the Mesas, but I could....just the sensitivity thing.

Some will argue that stiff shoes are better for edging and crack climbing. They probobly are better but never had too much of a problem using my Saphires for the routes I've been on.

Totally personal preference at this stage of the game. Head into MEC, these shoes will fit differently on your feet, and see what you like.

Go for the Mythos!! Best shoe ever!

In my experience, Five-ten has given nothing but problems!

It boils down to preference.

After getting through the initial pain of breaking them in, the 5.10 Anasazis are great. And super sticky rubber.

If you have a problem with wide feet, the Cliffs might work for you. I had a pair and didn't like them because there was just too much room in the toe box (narrow feet).

I'm in the market for shoes soon, all the reviews I have checked put the La Sportiva Miuras seem to be the shoe of choice these days.

Check out some on-line gear reviews. Some reviews are bound to apply to you.

I'll second the Sportiva Miuras,

It's important to note that the Saphire is a women's specific shoe. The Spire is Unisex.

My gf has a pair of the mythos. She likes them a lot.

it all depends on what you want them for
I can't see the mytho's being a great bouldering shoe. trad climbing yes

if your bouldering i would go for the 5.10 anasazi's or the muira's- the muira's kick ass... worth every penny

heard some good flowers about the baracuda's too

I have long big toes which have always presented a fit problem in climbing shoes and hiking boots: what fits in length is usually too wide. My latest climbing shoes are the LS Tradmasters and I find these fit me well and are great for climbing 5.10 trad in all-day comfort. Good for edging and toe jamming, not really a smearing shoe. In fact I'm going to buy another pair before they are discontinued.
Hope that is helpful

C4L:
they will get much better with time, I had that problem with all of mine. A little secret is to cut your big toe nails as short as possible. My LS muras fit right out of the box
