Tenaya

Iati Climbing Shoe

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I reach for the Iati when I need power on overhangs without giving up sensitivity on tiny edges. The Draxtor closure dials in the fit better than most Velcro systems I’ve tried, and the moderate downturn feels aggressive but still comfortable enough for longer sessions. It’s a shoe that balances control, precision, and adaptability extremely well."

We trust the Iati Climbing Shoe when the route demands more accuracy, more force, and more confidence in every foot placement. Tenaya’s design philosophy shows immediately—its asymmetric shape and sculpted downturn give us the sensation of control before we even leave the ground. From crisp edging on vertical terrain to pulling on pockets or smearing across polished stone, the shoe encourages deliberate, precise movement.

Constructed with a mix of microfiber and leather, the Iati Climbing Shoe resists unwanted stretch, keeping its supportive shape through long sessions and repeated projects. RBRX technology refines how the shoe adapts while moving, creating a dynamic feel that stays connected to the rock. The patented Draxtor closure lets us tension the shoe exactly where we need it, and Vibram XS Grip rubber brings reliable friction to even the smallest footholds. When routes get steeper or sequences more demanding, this shoe keeps our feet locked in, stable, and ready for the next move.
