From EMS:
"It's easy to understand why the latest version of Five Ten's Guide Tennie shoe is in high demand within guiding and climbing circles, with its excellent stability and superior friction on rough terrain. This shoe is built for those 10-mile hikes to a climb. Leather upper with leather reinforcements. "Rocker" built into the shoe design for walking efficiency and comfort. Compression-molded EVA midsole enhances cushioning during long-distance approaches. Rubber toe rand adds durability and protects feet from sharp objects. Ankle-to-toe lacing enhances foot stability. Stealth C4 dotty tread soles provides ultimate friction on rock. Low-cut design. On sizing, please note climbing shoe sizes are only a suggestion as fit is highly personal. Foot shape, use, and style all play into size selection."

From Backcountry.com:
"If your idea of a relaxing weekend is a ten-mile approach to a thousand-foot fourth-class ridge climb, then the Five Ten Guide Tennie is definitely the approach shoe for you. This low-profile, lightweight shoe has a Stealth C4 sole the same ultra-sticky rubber that's found on Five Ten climbing shoes. This shoe's incredible friction will make the approach slabs to Half Dome or a few pitches of 5.6 a walk in the park. Whether you're making a quick run up another North Cascades ridge climb or slacklining in Camp 4, your feet will be happy in the Guide Tennie."

"Great shoe. A little too nice for rugged climbing but its nice to have them on in case you feel the need to climb and you're not carrying your regular climbing shoes.

Great fit and finish although I must say that the Stealth soles are the same as Five Ten's regular climbing shoes - they leave marks so if you happen to wear them for casual wear - you need to remind yourself so you won't mark up the tile or wood flooring."

"Overall I was very impressed with these shoes. I wear them as daily shoes as well as for outdoor adventures. They have taken me to Granite Peak in Montana twice. I hiked with them in the ten or so miles with a forty pound pack and ascended the peak with them."

"This is a great shoe. I'm on my fourth pair and I use them hard: work, climb, hike, play. Very comfortable, great fit, super sticky rubber. Sole does tend to peal off at the toe but this is easily and permanently solved by pealing it back a little further and resticking with super glue."

"I must admit, I fell for the sales pitch on these shoes. It sounded nice - technical. The shoes looked attractive too. . . but after a few hikes, two in fact, they don't look so good now. These are some things you need to know:

If this shoe gets wet, the sole begins to fall of."
