As a fan of the old Terrex trailcross, the brand I think would rival (and possibly beat) Five ten is Scarpa if they would make i riding focused shoe.
For now their Mojito Basic gtx (not the Mojito that has the arced sole) is actually really good goretex riding shoe. With input from Scarpa Vibram is up to the task of rubber compounds, they certainly are in the climbing world.
Margarita and Highball models also have flat enough soles to be alternatives. Uppers are super quality but they cost a bit.
