I boulder in the Tenaya Masai, shoe just really fits my foot nicely as I have narrow feet. Found I did need to go a 1/2 size up from street size for them to be comfy.
Most definitely I can’t really refer 5.10 to anyone of my friends anymore. Quality has gone down and not even including the fact they discontinued all the approach shoes. Very weird move on adidas part. I have gravitated towards butora for the big volume acro and Narsha! Great vid as always gang🤘🏾
The transition from Adidas acquiring them, then the acquisition being well known and Five Ten having the Adidas branding was a period of poor build quality and conglomerated rubber on every part of every shoe with no variation. More recently, the quality has increased, c4 rubber is closer to what it was and there are again more stealth rubbers across a variety of shoes for a variety of purposes. Course, I think the shoes are lackluster already without the issues.
If there could be said to be a nongym shoe, TC Pros are it. Won’t say they don’t work by any stretch, just the expense and performance of em… Id invest in a more useful shoe inside and save the TC Pros for outdoor objectives.
@@ShayZ06LS6 Yep, same. They've been a lifesaver for me! I can't bend my left toe, so need a very stiff shoe. I wear them for everything. Can stand on nothing holds all day, while my friends in softer shoes are in agony on them for 5 seconds. They're absolutely useless at toe hooks, but so are plenty of other shoes commonly worn in gyms.
Should’ve waited a little to review and include the Scarpa Generator low and mid… will this dethrone the TC Pro? Unlikely, but it looks to have everything which makes the TC Pro a phenomenal shoe for purpose with the usual thoughtful design and quality from Scarpa.
I've been hearing some good things about the Evolv Yosemite Bum, probably worth looking into if like me you have a very wide toebox and find La Sportiva shoes to be miserable to wear. I'm not sure if that's the specific reason I've heard a few people say they're better than TC Pros or if they really are just super nice but definitely worth checking out if you get a chance I'd imagine.
@@smokeyriceballs5880 A guy at my gym has the Shaman pro and absolutely loves them. I bought a pair of regular Shamans a month ago and I only wear my other shoes now if I want to do some easy warmup stuff or I want to do something like attempt the crack climb my gym recently set (I'm terrible at it and my Shamans keep getting stuck on the route but I'm trying to get better to get into trad). The Shamans are the only performance shoes I've ever worn that weren't completely miserable or that I had to size up enough that the toe fits but the rest of the shoe fits baggy and I don't see myself wearing anything else from here on out but when it's time to get trad shoes it'll almost certainly be the Yosemite Bums, just for the fact that everything else feels terrible or too loose.
5.10 NIAD sucks these days since Adidas bought the brand. First use is good, but you cant resole it anymore because the shoes doesnt fit well when you do it. These are shoes for gringos who can afford a pair of shoes every 3 months, not for a granite/slab climber from trird world. Even for multipitch I prefer LaSportiva Miura

Just buy unparallel instead, same guys that did 5.10 before adidas
@@stevebuscemi1006 So I’ve heard Ill have to try them out. Just wish the tennies didn’t go away
Great video! Always psyched for these type of videos
I like the masai. However, they come with XS grip rubber, not edge.
I love my tc pros even for gym climbing

TC pro indoor all day everyday! It keeps the load off my injured toe.

Yeah the new 2023 line of evolv has been otherworldly thus far
Got the shaman pro and I never climbed with anything so snug but comfortable

XS Edge 2?
Should be XS Grip, I think
@@thesii213 It's not, though - the TC Pro uses XS Edge. He also says it's "similar to XS Edge"
@@TrackpadProductions Ah you're right, I was referring to the Masai portion wherein he says XS Edge again. Hmmm.
@@thesii213 It even looks like it says "XS Grip" on the bottom of the shoe in the product shot.
@@burnsbabe87 Exactly yeah. Pretty much the whole Tenaya range uses XS Grip except their budget models.
the climbing fotage in the background, is that Sergent in Orco?
when will the adidas shoes 5.10 be available again?

tc pros 4 life!
Seems like all those shoes are for narrow feet, isn't it?
I would rate the Scarpa Vapor Lace up there with the La Sportiva, not sure why it doesn't get the attention it deserves
The way he says adidas bothers me lol
For a non German he is pretty accurate.
Sounds correct to me, but I know some people say it more like ah-DEE-dus, which is incorrect. It a German word,not English.
@@twinmike1it’s not a word at all-it’s two names combined: Adi and Das. Technically, adolf and dassler but yea
