Tenaya Masai

My 1st foray into Tenaya shoes

I've had enough of the pain and agony from breaking in new shoes and I was looking for a pair of shoes that are comfy straight out of the box. These seem to fit the bill. My street shoe size ranges between 41 and 42. I tried a 41 but these were way too tight. Swapped these for a 42, and they are snug without bending my toes painfully out of shape. Not tried them on the wall yet.

Love these shoes

My feet are very wide at the front with narrow ankles, and the Tenaya Masai fit better than any other climbing shoes I've tried. They seem more comfortable every time I put them on. They're a size smaller than the shoes I was wearing before, but I haven't had to put them in warm water or anything - they just seem to mould to my feet. The lacing allows the fit to be adjusted even more specifically. Glad I bought these.

Tenaya Masai Rock Shoes

These are fantastic shoes, especially for those with quite narrow feet. They tend towards the flexible and are especially great for grit smearing (Vibram Grip rubber), but I find they perform pretty well at limestone edging too. I am on my second pair, and my most recent purchase of them was for my wife - she likes them too.
