Tenaya Masai

Size: UK 4.5

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!

    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.
