Beginner Fit: same size as US street shoe size. Comfort Fit: size down 1/2 size from US men's street shoe size. All-Around Performance Fit: size down 1 size from US men's street shoe size. Aggressive Performance Fit: size down 1.5 sizes from US men'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 was really surprised about how comfortable the Indalos were when I put them on my feet and started climbing in them. On the wall they feel super precise and stable. I’m also a fan of the Draxtor lacing system to get the fit I’m after. I sized down 1 full size from my street shoe size and that was the ticket for me. They didn’t stretch much during the break in period. Tenayas comfort is unrivaled and I’ll be coming back.
I usually wear my shoes on the comfortable side of sizing. Mostly on moderate routes and multi pitch. Lately ive been in the gym and wantingy more of a performance shoe. These have been great and are crazy good on very small holds. Never felt anything like these in years of climbing. Im a fan.
