When the new Tenaya Mastia was designed, the goal wa not only to create an aggressively curved shoe that delivered maximum power for standing on tiny holds, but also one which provided unrivalled responsiveness in all situations. More powerful, more responsive, this is the essence of the Mastia and one which required us to focus on every aspect of the process, designing and redesigning each element until we achieved the perfect balance.

The Mastia has a perfect balance of features. It is soft yet structured, offering awesome control for precision edging while at the same time providing superb sensitivity and feedback in smearing and friction situations where split-second responsiveness can mean the difference between success and failure.

Its curved form and split sole, combined with our cutting edge SXR Dynamics and RBRX technologies, contribute to a more intuitive, more efficient climbing style. The Mastia is as equally at home on hard boulder problems as it is on vertical and overhanging sport routes.

The down-angled, low-profile toe box enables more effective use of shallow pockets, thin cracks and many other ‘marginal’ footholds found on difficult rock climbs.

Recommended use: Vertical and overhanging routes. Bouldering.
