Review on πŸ§— Top-Performing Tenaya Tarifa Unisex Rock Climbing Shoe: A Must-Have for Climbing Enthusiasts! by Jesse Spoja

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very satisfied: shoes

Mostly comfortable shoes. My left foot is a bit bigger than my right so they get a little tight on big foot days. Size 13 Street and 11.5 fit perfectly on the right foot. I've been climbing for a little over a year. My starting shoes were 5.10 Rogues. They definitely upped my game with their edging ability. I get a lot more power on small holds. The rubber isn't as sticky as the crooks, so I messed up a few holds before forcing myself to really focus on what I'm doing with my feet before taking the next step. The smears are manageable, but again not as good as the scammers. I've been using them for 3 months now and I go to the gym at least twice a week. Seems to be holding up well. They are relatively easy to slip on and off for toe reading. One star off because of neoprene at the top of the sock. While they certainly increase comfort, they also make your feet sweat more and your shoes start smelling pretty quickly. You're at the gym so it doesn't matter, but I get a little shy sitting and sniffing around between tries. I seem to be getting over it and so are the people around me, so I guess that's it. I haven't had a chance to use them outside because of Wisconsin, winter and whatnot. All in all it's a comfortable shoe at a good price that has greatly improved performance. Recommend.
