Simply the most comfortable climbing show I ever had. Nice construction, they feel comfy while providing excellent edging and smearing. Try them!

I decided to try these after wearing through my first pair of climbing shoes. I have some food issues (bunions) and find most all shoes excruciatingly painful. I had tried on a pair of the Mundaka's some time earlier and remembered how comfortable they were for such an aggressive shoe, and looked into the line more for their basic shoe, bringing me here. I would say the rubber is a little stickier than the Tarantulace, but not by a lot. The shoe is also more flexible, but again, but by a lot. These are my gym shoes, but I also wear them outside most of the time and I use them for all but my project grades (which isn't that high- 10a-10d depending on the style). I've had them nearly two years now, with probably 1 year of consistent use and the rubber is holding ... MoreI decided to try these after wearing through my first pair of climbing shoes.

They're comfortably snug, but I don't wear my shoes very tight due to the aforementioned bunions.

These shoes are very light and comfortable. They are not equivalent to Scrpa Vapor Vs, which I had been using,, but have worked well in the gym, providing adequate toe edging and heal hooks. I an climbing only at the V3 level and suspect the Tenayas would not be adequate for V8 or above. The toe box does not seem as stiff as other shoes I have used. The shoes run a little large. I wear 41.5 / 8.5 in Vapor Vs and bought the 8.5 for these shoes. If I buy again I will go down half-a-size.
