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 love these shoes. They’ve got the classic Tenaya feel: super comfortable while still being a high performing shoe. I’ve tried various Tenaya models and these are my fave. My feet feel super solid in them and I think they help me climb to the top of my ability. That’s probably placebo effect, but I’ll take itZ
