Should I get Vapor V or Mocc

I have the option to get a pair of vapor v's or some synthetic moccs I'm just conflicted on which ones i should get.

i've had both and prefer the synthetic mocc.

completely different shoes..   what do you like in shoes?   

I find the production quality of the adidas 5.10s sucks....

I find the production quality of the addidas 5.10s outstanding....

So the leather moccs had the tearing issue which kinda sucks, but asides from that I don't understand why adidas gets all the hate? I have multiple pairs of 5.10/adidas shoes and haven't had any problems. Personally, they fit my feet great and the stealth rubber (a bit overhyped IMO) performs comparable to the vibram stuff. No complaints from me.

People think Addidas is a big, mean, evil company so they pretend their product sucks. I've had 3 pairs of Addidas 5.10s so far and quality + durability has been top notch and utterly consistent on each.

Plus people buy shoes that don't fit their feet and then complain when misfitted shoes aren't durable.

As for OP, Vapors and Mocs fit very differently in my experience. Wear the one that fits better.

Yup, completely different fit imo. Could never get a fit with the mocc. that i liked and felt good. Vapor Vs fit just right. I have a slightly narrow foot and heal. The Mocc. always felt too wide. Also seems to me that they have different strengths as far as what they're good at. Personally I like the bit stiffer VV.

Agreed. Don’t know if I just got two bum shoes but the last versions I got where not up to snuff.

Every pair of 5.10s I have bought have fallen apart in short order. Maybe I'm just rough on shoes....

Im just trying to decide on a new training shoe to thrash

REPLY TO ALL: Ik that they are two very different shoes but im wondering which ones would be good for beat around training shoes. 

Moccs for sure. Get those toes nice and strong.

If you're training in the gym all the feet are massive, my phillosophy is to get the absolute softest shoe that I can climb in. Then when you have to dime edge on real rock your feet (arch) is strong enough to do it on extended pitches with a softer and more sensitive shoe. You do not need the support of the vapor v at all in the gym. Go with the mocc, or preferably something even softer (teams).  

Both great shoes with distinct applications- you should buy them both so you can train at your best for peak performance. Put them on a credit card if you don't have the money!
