Andy's Review of Tenaya Tarifa Climbing Shoe

I'm assuming the other reviewer's shoes aren't sized the best as I switched to this shoe from a muira and I'm never going back. I went 2 sizes down from my street shoe (10.5 street size, 8.5 tarifas) and the fit is amazing. My toes are ever so slightly curled, but despite the somewhat performance fit, the sock like liner makes them comfortable to wear for hours in the gym. The asymmetry in the toe box is comparable to the muiras (maybe a bit more asymmetric), but the slightly softer rubber makes these a bit more sensitive. I've primarily been putting them to use in the gym, but with warmer weather now, I've gotten to use them outside on technical limestone face climbing and I've been able to stand on the most miniscule limestone crystals with comfort. They do have a really narrow fit, so if you've got wider feet, you'll probably want to avoid this shoe, but if you've got narrowish feet, this shoe is phenomal!
