> (In reply to Chay) Don't know if somebody else has already suggested them, but I recently bought a pair of 5.10 Stonelands (their new lace-up shoe), for £70 (which is pretty cheap these days). So far, they're the comfiest shoe I've ever put on in a shop, and have done well for several day-long sessions at walls. I've climbed up to font 6c+ in them indoors (not had a chance to get on a rope or outdoors with them yet, due to weather and travel constraints)... I really would recommend them though! Flexible, but good at edging, and with a different cut to the heel than a 5.10 anasazi, they seem to excel at heel hooks. Oh, and I have wide feet too, and these shoes seem made for me.
I've been wearing a pair of the velcro Stonelands for the last week or so and so far I have been very impressed with them. I usually wear Miura laces or velcro but picked these up as a more comfortable option for long routes. I've mainly been climbing indoors up to 7a in them but I took them bouldering on Friday intending to just use them for warm ups before breaking out the tight fitting "big guns", I ended up wearing them all day long I was so impressed. I pulled out my Miura's once but put them back in my bag again after one attempt.
The Stonelands last is designed to with a flat forefoot in mind, rather than curling your toes in to a crimp position as the Miura's/Anasazi's do your toes should lie flat, this makes for a much more comfortable experience. Typically this leads to poorer performance but somehow the unorthodox toe box really pulls it off in the Stonelands, edging performance is excellent without compromising the confidence inspiring smearing.
For anything less than hard and very steep sport climbing these are likely to become my new go to shoe. There, I said it, I'm sorry Sportiva, I loved you long time but there's a new gunslinging hottie in town.
There are three models in the Stonelands range, the lace up is the softest, slipper the stiffest and velcro somewhere in the middle which I find to be a great balance for most types of climbing.
