Tenaya - Iati - Climbing shoes tested

Shoes fit narrow feet very well. Heel hooking is not that well supported, because heel fit is quite loose. They are very good for high friction rock and overhanging routes with good footholds. In glassy and slippery rock they are not my best choice because they slip. In small footholds there is not much support for the feet, because they are soft. But overall this are great shoes for specific kind of routes.

The iatis are incredibly comfortable for a high-performance shoe, very good at edging and smearing as well. The shoe is great but the workmanship is lacking. As i sweat in the shoes or they get a bit wet, the red dye goes everywhere staining my feet and the rest of the shoe. The rand is a downfall, 1 1/2 months of frequently using the shoe indoors and out and its peeling off. These problems can easily be fixed by Tenaya and definetely would make it a top class shoe.
