From Backcountry Outlet:
"The Five Ten Ascent Climbing Shoes belong on the feet of climbers who put in long days on the rock. Everything about these Five Ten shoes screams for multi-pitch trad routes and 20-pitch days of sport climbing. Their VELCRO -brand closure saves time putting them on before a pitch and lets you loosen them at the hanging belay. The Ascent Shoes also have a neutral last for all-day comfort. A padded heel makes long gully descents much more pleasant. The Ascent Climbing Shoes lined uppers reduce stretch and deliver excellent out-of-the-box fit."

Men's Ascent
Reviewed by Chris Graham, Oct 28, 2005

"I purchased this pair of shoes roughly four years ago and use them esclusively on long trad routes. The EVO sole cushions impact on descents and boudering, but for me it serves its purpose hanging out on belay ledges. They smear on both low and high angle friction like a dream as the C4 rubber is just amazing."
