The Tenaya Indalo, two EU sizes below street, fits them very well.

positive

The Tenaya Indalo stopped the progression of their bunions and Haglund's deformity; wishes they'd bought it from the start.

positivecomfortable

The Tenaya Indalo is by far their favourite: wide enough forefoot to be comfortable, decent toe patch and adjustable lacing.

positivecomfortable

Prefers their Tenaya Indalos for comfort and all-round performance.

positivecomfortable

The Indalo heel is pretty good for their shallow, narrow heel and the forefoot almost perfect; better on lead days than bouldering or boarding.

positive

The Tenaya Indalo's split sole works really well for bouldering and other climbing, and it's as comfortable as technical shoes get.

positivecomfortable

Just got the Tenaya Indalo and the heel fit is perfect for their narrow heel, though they went three sizes below Tenaya's recommendation.

positive

Wears the Indalo and Mastia in the same size; the Indalo's extra adjustment avoids the pinky-toe pressure they get in the Mastia.

positivecomfortable

With narrow, short heels that get rubbed raw, the Indalo was the only one of about a dozen shoes they tried that actually fit.

positive

Finds the Indalo toe-hooks marginally better than the Gomi, which fits their narrow heel slightly better; both great shoes.

positivegreat toe hooks

The Indalo is incredible: high performance yet extremely comfortable, like slippers they could wear around the house, even moderately downsized.

positivecomfortable

Tried the Indalo, Oasi and Gomi and finds the Gomi outperforms the Indalo every time; the Indalo rubber is much less sticky and they slip off holds despite the more pointed toe.

negative

Blown away by how comfortable the Indalo is after trying La Sportiva, Evolv and Scarpa; a huge step up in comfort.

positivecomfortable

After nearly getting an ingrown toenail in symmetric shoes, their Tenaya Indalo fits their Egyptian feet perfectly.

positivecomfortable

Indalos sized down hurt at first; now comfortable but lots of air pockets and farting in the heel.

mixed

Their favourite shoe: great at everything, edging well from the pointy toe box, smearing better thanks to the split outsole, with good toe and heel hooks; some toe-knuckle pain builds through a session and the stock XS Grip rubber felt less secure than Neo Fuse.

positive

The Indalo is their main shoe; bought slightly painful and it stretched to a perfect fit.

positive

Downsized to 40 in the Indalo on a shop's advice and found it extremely painful, toes curled and feet numb, with no improvement after five sessions of trying to break it in.
