Edging
The Five Ten Anasazi Guide is a great edging shoe thanks to its stiff sole, and there is enough room in the toe box to comfortably curl your toes down onto tiny holds.

Smearing
The Guide flexes enough to press your foot into smears and blank patches of rock and provide confidence that your foot will stick.

Pockets
A high-profile toe box makes using pockets difficult.

Heel Hooking
This shoe has a lower volume heel than other Five Ten shoes, and fit really well, making heel hooks feel solid.

Cracks 
I could climb a couple thousand feet of hand cracks in these shoes before I╒d have to take them off, but finger cracks are a different story. A large profile toe box made the thin and steep stuff really challenging.

Comfort 
The Guide offers all day comfort, thanks to a lined leather upper and a nice roomy toe box. I wish the shoe had a slightly higher arch to remove the air pocket under foot, and provide more support for all-day routes.

Value/Longevity
Overall, the Five Ten Anasazi Guide is a well-made, long-lasting shoe at a reasonable price.
