REVIEW: Five Ten Gambit

In conclusion, the Five Ten Gambit is a narrow-fitting, comfy, well made, semi-technical rock shoe. Performance is good, but erring more towards support than sensitivity, so I would say they are ideal for a middle to low grade climber - anyone who doesn't need the ultimate performance and crippling pain associated with super technical shoes. That said I'm sure that on the feet of the talented they could climb very hard indeed. Irrespective of the grade, they would also be a good option for climbers looking for a shoe to wear on the long granite routes of the Alps or the USA. At £90, they are fairly priced, too.
