Mundaka Climbing Shoe
Sometimes the thing that is keeping you off the send-train is painful feet. Crunching toes and collapsed arches aren't Tenaya’s favorite thing either, thus the birth of the Mundaka Climbing Shoes. These puppies keep the dogs from barking with their extremely comfortable footbed. The split sole offers flexibility in pressure points on your feet to reduce pain as you press down, and you get a comfortable, firm, and personalized fit of a gym shoe without sacrificing the more aggressive feel of a downturned shoe. Vibram rubber offers legendary durability and will help keep you on the wall even when the footing is suspect. Rely on the Mundakas to tick off your next projects, last long enough to plow through plenty of routes on your tick list, and keep your feet from burning and aching with pain after a full day of ticking off redpoints.

Great sensitive slipper
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
The Mundakas are an awesome slipper that are really versatile. I've used them on hard slabby stuff, where I really need to feel what's going on under my toes, and also on steeper routes where I need to be able to toe in incut holds. I've climbed several 5.14s in these. They are more sensitive than a shoe like the Iati, so they give you better feel, but aren't going to be as supportive when edging on tiny stuff. That said, I've also crammed my feet into a tighter pair, and those edge well, thanks to the support.

These shoes are quite honestly the best. I tried them on once upon a time and thought they were super comfortable for an aggressive shoe but ended up going with a La Sportiva model for my first intermediate/advanced shoe. Since graduating from Tarantulaces, I've worn La Sportiva Otakis, Miuras, and Evolv Kronos. My favorite things about the Mundaka: super sensitive, great for overhangs but also a strong performer on more slabby and techy blocs, easy to get on and off, great velcro closure system that is very customizable to your foot, and a very comfortable tongue "sock" that makes my feet and bad ankles feel more supported. I hate stiff, flat soled shoes that don't allow me to feel out my foot placements. I've come to realize I need a very sensitive shoe and the Mundakas are great in that department. They're very grippy and allow for a lot of precision. After a bout an hour at the gym, I do like to slip out of these halfway, but they aren't super uncomfortable like my Otakis and Miuras were. I can wear them pretty much all session and am always happy to strap on and get rocking. I hope they never stop making these shoes. I was lucky to nab them on sale but they are honestly worth every penny of the full $200 price tag. Sizing - I wear a 41.5 in La Sportiva and wear a UK 8 in these. Fit is perfect.
