Finally a climbing shoe that performs really well but doesn't kill my feet. A narrower heel cup that's difficult to find in other brands means I can opt for a longer fit for my skinny feet.
Soft material inside means no painful rubbing.
Runs large though; I sized down 1 full EU size relative to street shoes and La Sportiva Testarossas (older model) for all-day bouldering. And almost 2 EU for a tighter fit.
Expensive, but worth it for me.
Pros:
- COMFORT
- stiffness
- aggressiveness
Would recommend: Yes

I purchased these to compare with Sportiva Skwama. These are definitely softer and fit my foot better. Slightly narrow on my medium-wide foot, but not uncomfortable. I downsized one full size compared to how I fit my Sportivas. The toe hooking on these are outstanding! Great shoe. My only complaint is the lack of stiffness when edging, but that is the tradeoff for sensitivity.
Would recommend: Yes

It would seem Tenaya is good at making really comfortable shoes. Assuming you've gotten the right size. It was a little tricky for me to fine the right sized shoe (with no stores nearby to test fit, it is difficult.) I had to downsize 2 full USM size for the right fit around my heel! The front top rubber are soft, great improvement for toe-hooking (coming from Iati). The front bottom rubber of the shoe is hard, great for edging with a heel that is slightly soft which makes it amazing. Impressed with what I've seen so far.
Would recommend: Yes
