Get Ready for Summer with FIVE TEN!

FIVE TEN OFFERS THE BEST IN OUTDOOR FOOTWEAR PROTECTION

A little history about Five Ten...

A family-owned company, founded by Charles Cole in 1985. Five Ten is dedicated to making top-rated outdoor sports footwear. Cole had finished his MBA from the University of Michigan and was hanging out in Yosemite putting up spectacular first ascent aid routes—many times solo. After a slip while descending El Cap, Cole decided that climbers not only needed high-friction rubber on their climbing shoes, but also on their walking shoes.

With the support of his parents, Mary and Charles Sr., he began distributing his new line of approach and climbing shoes with the new Stealth rubber soles, thus making Climbing that much easier. Since the soles actually stuck better to the rock surfaces, climbers could ascent routes that had previously been unattainable. Charles Cole, Five Ten and Stealth rubber helped to open climbing to a new generation of athletes.

Now the Redlands, California based company makes shoes with Stealth rubber for a variety of outdoor sports. Five Ten climbing shoes are depended upon by the world’s top climbers, even climbers who are paid to wear shoes by other companies resole with Stealth. Stealth Rubber resole kits make up 99.9 percent of resole sales world wide. Five Ten multi-sport shoes are now favorite footwear of downhill mountain bikers, BMX riders, paddlers, hikers, trail runners and climbers. From elite world class athletes to every day outdoor enthusiasts, people understand Five Ten is the most authentic footwear brand available. As Cole found out on El Cap and athletes find out everyday, friction does make a difference. Add that to the unique comfort, durability and technological advances of Five Ten, and you have the best footwear in the world.
