The Force X is a solid climbing shoe that won't disappoint if you don't expect too much from it. Its limitations become apparent when the climbing starts to get steep and techie, keep yourself happy with them by sticking to more moderate terrain with it. The Force X is durable and would be a great beginner shoe or a relatively inexpensive addition to a quiver of shoes.
Overall, the Force V is a solid shoe for moderate sport, trad, and multipitch climbing. Offering a great price point for a real all day comfy shoe while not giving up too much in performance, working well up to 5.10 on both granite cracks, sandstone smearing, and quartzite edges. The Force V will probably stay as my go-to shoe for long days guiding, filling a hard to find slot in my quiver of shoes.
