FWIW, I'm a 7 in Tatankas and a 6.5 in Oasis. I wear my Tatankas tight and Oasi's loose though. |

That helops..its seems like go a full size down from my tatankas which i wear tight for a similar fit. Im going to go with 7.5, as I wear a 8.5 in tatankas and see how it goes! |

Since you happen to wear the same size sportivas as me, could you share which sizes of other Tenaya shoes you tried/own? I am especially interested for Ra and Inti. |

I wear a size 11 in the Ra, 12 in the Masai and will get a 10.5 in the Oasi when the time comes |
|
Sizing of the Ra turned out unusual for me. My street shoe size is US Men's 7. |
|
Any suggestions for a good Tenaya shoe for multi pitch Eldo/Lumpy/RMNP routes? |
|
tatankas are much more agressive than the ras. |
|
tatankas are way different from the ras. the ras are much stiffer, particularly in torsion about the long axis of the foot. for lumpy, i would think the best tanaya shoe would be a sized up ra, or maybe a sized up masai (for the cracks at least). |
|
Definitely go with the Masais! Great all day triad shoe that performs well in most all aspects of climbing. They edge and smear equally well and are super comfortable |
|
I picked up a pair of the Ras last week, as I wanted a velcro shoe for the gym. Normally Miura laces are my go to, but I wanted to branch out, and didn't want to drop the $$$ on Miura VS. Street shoe size is usually 10, Miura laces size is 41, which is for sport and bouldering performance (read: very tight). I wanted the Ras to be a bit looser, but wasn't able to try on many different sizes, as the only retailer near me that carries them had a limited selection. |

Good deals on Tenayas if you know your size: geartrade.com/browse/climb |

Just thought I'd add my experience in regard to sizing Masais. I wear a size 9 or 9.5 street shoe. After a somewhat lengthy process of returns to Trango (thanks Linda for your patience and customer service), I ended up with size 9.5 Masais (Euro size 42.5). They were still pretty tight with quite a bit of toe curl when new, but after a couple of weeks they have formed to my feet and gotten fairly comfortable. I'll probably never wear them for multi-pitch routes, but they're fine for shorter climbs. |

Hey all, I have been using a pair of the Inti shoes for about three months now. Being a relatively new climber. I only have one other shoe to compare them to - the La Sportiva Turantulace shoe. The Turantulace wasn't at all a bad pick for a beginner, but after wearing them out, and improving my climbing ability I wanted a little bit of a step up in my shoe. I tried on a lot of different brands and models that were really aggressive like the Shamans, Solutions, etc. I wanted something in between beginner and pro, but didn't really know what to get. I saw the Inti's on sale on Backcountry and decided to go for it. Awesome shoes to say the least! I'm mostly leading single pitch sport 9's and 10's on mostly limestone and sandstone and they do the job perfectly! I feel like my next model will be the Ra. Definitely awesome shoes! |

Anyone have the RA and Masai? I have a 10 RA and was curious what size Masai would fit..... |

I think they all fit around the same for a given size; I have the Masai in a 14.0 for all day comfy, 13.5 Inti for sport climbing, & 12.5 Ra for bouldering & short-hard sport. |
|
To make things clear, my Ra's at size 11 are pretty damned snug!! My Masais are sized comfortably for guiding and all day wear. That being said: however, I have not compromised edging ability or performance. Pretty remarkable shoe!! The Masai's are considerably narrower so perhaps going up a half size or so isn't a bad idea. |
