This is my 2nd pair of FiveTens.  The best thing about these shoes is that the soles are made of a product called "stealth rubber".  This sole really sticks to rocks (even wet ones, as long as they don't have algae on them).  The next best thing about these shoes is the way they fit.  Really hold my feet securely within the shoe and I had no break in period....just put them on and went on a hike.  I did order about 1/2 size larger than my usual shoe size as they run just a little small and I like to wear thick sox.  These are the best hiking shoes that I've found.
