Beginner Fit: 1/2 size larger than US women's street shoe size. Comfort Fit: same size as US women's street shoe size. All-Around Performance Fit: size down 1/2 size from US women's street shoe size. Aggressive Performance Fit: size down 1.0 size from US women's street shoe size. Tenaya climbing shoes don't stretch much with use - what feels snug initially will stay pretty consistent for the life of the shoe.

I have an extremely flat foot and this is one of the few shoes I love it’s the perfect low volume shoe and is absolutely my go to. Definitely the shoe you need to feel every part of the wall even small crevices. Big upgrade compared to my last shoe I feel like a pro now lol
This shoe is very comfortable without compromising quality or capability. A beginner climber and a higher level climber could both climb In the shoe and have a really awesome experience
