Doug_Hutchinson Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I like 5.10 shoes because they fit my feet best, and most agree that their rubber is the best. However, I am not sold on the newer (Onyx) rubber. It seems a little harder and stiffer than Stealth, so feels a little less sticky and less sensitive to me. Not by much, but I cannot consider it an improvement, although it is supposed to be more durable. Other opinions from those who have used both? Quote
Jens Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I have two pairs of the exact same shoes that I swap routinely at the gym and at the crags. One pair has been resoled with stealth c4 the other with Oynx. I personally can't tell the difference. ------------------- As a sidenote: The rubber montrail puts on their shoes is worse than the stuff on the shoes when I started climbing. One has no chance of climbing near their limit with montrail rubber. Quote
Jens Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 No, both pairs get worn at the crags and gym. Quote
selkirk Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Same comment as Jens-- Went from a pair with Stealth, and resoled them with C4, and I can't really tell the difference. Though as I tend to drag my toes and peel the rands, the durability hasn't been significantly different either. Quote
