Tenaya Masai

The Tenaya Masai is an exquisitely precise and supportive rock climbing shoe, making it an ideal weapon of choice for both edgy face climbs and precarious pebble dances alike. A relatively narrow toe box is partnered by a low volume fit from heel to toe. The heel itself is well fitting and gives competent performance, however this shoe stands apart thanks to the precision toe box.

The upper is entirely synthetic, utilising a similar microfibre to that used by Evolv and Five Ten, whilst the lining is an antibacterial cotton. This means the shoe will hold its shape reasonably well with time and use, although the weight of material is marginally lighter than that used in some contemporary models, so you can expect a little more by way of stretch/give.

The Tenaya Masai has long been touted as a direct competitor to the various Five Ten lace up Anasazis. With the demise of the popular White and Verde, combined with the polarising alterations made to the latest version of the Anasazi Pink, the Tenaya Masai is once again a serious consideration for those disillusioned with recent Five Ten's developments.

Also comes with spare laces!
