Tenaya Indalo
Tenaya
The most aggressive shoe in Tenaya's Aerial Plus line, built for micro-edges and thin cracks on steep terrain. Split sole with six different rubber formulations maximises grip in every position - toe, heel, and rand each use purpose-specific compounds. Draxtor velcro closure and breathable five-layer tongue round out a shoe designed for hard sport climbing and bouldering.
Best For
