The *new* tennie
It seems 5.10 discontinued the tennie. If you liked the tennie, this is a good alternative. I sized these up based on reviews and have not been disappointed (I chose my running shoe size - 39 - and the fit is snug, but no toe smashing on descents). I’ve had them for a few months now. Scrambling and climbing up to 5.7 in them seemed reasonable. These are more stiff than the tx4, and so far seem more supportive. They are a bit more narrow than the tx4, but these are designed to climb in, so that was to be expected. So far, I have not had any durability issues.
Always a fan of La Sprotiva
These are great approach shoes, but I probably should have gone a half size up...they are bit snug in the toe box as I have longer toes. I've worn them all over crags in Colorado, Wyoming and Nevada and they have kept me safe :)
Narrow
These seem well made and I life their stiff sole. Only problem is that they run narrow and small. I do have somewhat of a wide foot. I am usually 6-6.5 in everything, but will be purchasing a 7 to see if the fit is better.
Worst lacing system
Evidently you are supposed to throw out the shoe when the laces wear out, as they are virtually impossible to replace. I just spent a good hour struggling to replace them. The job required needle-nose pliers, plus another tool to dilate and guide the new lace into its slot, and a lot of *tenacity*. Until today I would have rated this a 5*. Great performance hiking and scrambling.
