Tenaya Inti
Tenaya
The Inti is a medium-soft, moderately downturned velcro shoe from Tenaya for sport climbing. Tenaya lists it as medium-width with a wide heel. In stock at 6 shops from 100.79 EUR.
Part of Tenaya's Balance Pro line, the Inti was developed alongside the Ra for climbers who want performance with comfort. Moderate downturn and slight asymmetry deliver precision on vertical walls and moderate overhangs. V-shaped velcro closure with bellows tongue allows rapid fitting, while 4mm Vibram XS Grip rubber and a five-layer insole provide excellent feel on friction and small edges alike.
