Tenaya Mundaka
Tenaya
The softest, most sensitive shoe in Tenaya's Aerial Plus performance line. Split sole and a minimal midsole let the foot flex naturally through complex movements on overhanging terrain. Draxtor velcro closure plus a unique outer flap give extra control during heel hooks. Widest-fitting shoe in Tenaya's downturned range, making it accessible for climbers with broader feet who want a performance shoe.
Best For
Best for sport climbing and bouldering on slab, vertical and overhang terrain. Aimed at intermediate to advanced climbers.
