Tenaya Ra

Tenaya

The shoe that put Tenaya on the map - a beautifully simple design achieving a perfect balance between power, precision, and comfort. Slight downturn and slight asymmetry keep it versatile from slab to moderate overhangs. Integrated tongue, rubber-reinforced toe box, and Vibram XS Grip 4mm rubber handle everything from gym training to outdoor sport routes. Two-time World Champion Ramon Julian's shoe of choice.
