Tenaya Tanta Laces
Tenaya
The Tanta Laces is a medium-soft, slightly downturned lace shoe from Tenaya for sport climbing and bouldering. Tenaya lists it as wide-width with a medium heel. In stock at 7 shops from 70.78 EUR.
Lace-up version of the Tanta for climbers who prefer traditional closure with maximum volume control. Same M4 technology, slightly curved shape, and padded bellows tongue as the velcro Tanta. Lace closure gives finer adjustment across the whole foot, which some beginners find more secure and comfortable than velcro. Equally suited to gym training and first outdoor sessions.

Among the 469 adult climbing shoes we track, the Tanta Laces ranks in the top 17% for comfort, the top 32% for support and the top 42% for smearing.
