One clarification. Not all the Stealth rubber is made the same 😅 They have different compounds within the same name. The Trailcross have Stealth Phantom (65a durometer, the lower the stickier) almost the best you can find in approach/mountain bike shoes. The Stealth S1 (64a durometer) in their old approach shoes (Access or Tennies series) felt very similar. The Stealth C4 though felt way less sticky (76), my Terrex Voyager DLX I think had that version too. For extreme conditions (climbing waterfalls, very polished wet rocks) there was a clear difference for me between the two. Vibram Idrogrip might be better than C4. Nothing better than the Stealth Phantom or S1 that I have ever tested. Apologies for the loooong explanation. I agree that this is a great water adventure shoe if you are OK with the stiff midsole.

What is the sizing like? Should you go down a half size for better grip control or is it best to keep a norma fit?

[Ashley_Schaeffer]

How do you find this for transition hiking... Scree-> Creeks -> bouldering ?

[jaswanthreddy]

Any other suggestions for some lower price??

[YuhBoyNorCal]

Hey Jesse I just bought these shoes for me and the wife for our camping trip to rock creek in plumas national Forrest. I’m looking for similar shoes for our seven year old daughter. Too bad adidas doesn’t make them in her size. A you please recommend a comparable shoe for kids? I was looking at Columbia OmniGrip. Any insight from the King would be greatly appreciated!

[reginaldjackson]

Bro...Thanks for the review...help me make a decision...but I got to know...Who Makes Those

[derrecklawton]

Thanks for the recomendation, I love my 510's bought a pair for wifey hitting 7 teacups this weekend can't wait to use them again.

Jesse, have you checked out the South Yuba River park? or been on the south yuba? Thanks again

[genesislandscape]

Hey Jesse, long time fan, just checking when you are coming back to the Yuba River. And remember find your adventure and infamous.

[johnpaki]

Kia ora Jesse thanx for the shout out in your prem that was cool, didn't actually know you did prems I just happened to be on my fone at work when I got the notification...lol anyway not sure if you mentioned it but being addidas I'm guessing expensive, anyway you and sam keep cool brother till next time stay safe🇳🇿🤙

[Ashley_Schaeffer]

Dude I have been looking for a good water shoe for the past 2 seasons... This was helpful, Thanks!

[riverrat]

How do these compare to Astrals models? Brewer, Hyak etc

[fayesylvester]

Can you wear them for water aerobics in the swimming pool?

[exploringthetributaries]

Thanks Jesse, the moist rocks and caves in France won't know what hit'm this year! 😂

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

I love that Stealth Rubber. It's a shame Adidas bought out 5.10. Now you can't find Stealth Rubber resole kits anywhere.

[stevenc]

I recently scored a couple of pairs of 510 mountain biking shoes at Burlington coat factory for a 3rd of the price they had several different styles they might have some of those there.

[bchin]

It's advertised as a mountain biking shoe online, not a water shoe. Don't see in any description about water draining. Am I tripping or am I seeing it correctly?

[Nick-vswl]

Why wouldn't you recommend for whitewater kayaking? Sticky rubber is exactly what I need for scrambling around on wet rock while scouting rapids or climbing out of canyons when shit hits the fan

[AliasJimWirth]

Hey, Jesse, that's American business for you: if it sells well, discontinue it, lol, and I cannot stop laughing. No, I have seen this before and I cannot figure it out; it makes no sense to me. I spent an hour looking for that Adidas shoe you suggested last year or so. Not available or sold out. So yeah folks, if this is the shoe for you and your adventures, buy it now...before it is disontinuted due to interest and popular demand. Best of good things to you and Sam as always. Love you guys.

[roberthellner]

Is the water shoe called aqua Jesse shoe 👟 lmao
