Five.Ten Women's Anasazi LV Climbing Shoes

Good grip and fit
I like these shoes, but I think the fit of the previous Anasazi LV was better, especially in the heel. I am a street shoe sz. 8-8.5, running sneaker sz. 9, and ended up with these shoes in a 9. My foot is medium width for a woman, but I have narrow heels and a strong arch. I took a 9 in the previous LV model as well. Grip is great (usual with 5.10 rubber), and longevity of the rubber is excellent on my old shoes, so I expect the same with this pair. The fit on these shoes seems to be a little wider overall, the heel not quite as tight (and it's a little higher), and the straps are long, compared to the previous LV model. While a little extra room in tight climbing shoes is always appreciated, I hope they don't become sloppy with time. The 8.5 was painfully tight, which is why I ended up with the 9. These shoes are lined, so stretching should be minimal. Bonus because of the lining is that you can hand-scrub these shoes with detergent and a little bleach when they become too stinky/grimy, and they come out great! Bottom line, I would buy them if you are looking for a performance shoe in a women's fit, but I gave them 4 stars because I don't love the fit quite as much as my previous pair.

inside
I haven't had a chance to use my new shoes outside, but they feel great at my climbing gym. Good fit, good grip, I've been toe hooking and heel hooking all over the place.

Comfortable but not good for edging
This pair is comfortable but it is not good for edging and toeing very tiny pockets as the front is not stiff enough. Great for indoor gym climbing but does not perform as well outdoors.
