Moderately overhung faces are the natural habitat of the Indalo. All its stand-out features offer you the tools to excel on this type of terrain; that laser-precise toe, a bomber 3D- heel cup with a “friction lock” that prevents it from crumbling when cranking hard, and a toe patch that provides buckets of friction on both rock and plastic.
This is an amazing, quiver-of-one shoe for sport climbers who lean toward technical, gently overhanging routes and mega-steeps. It’s a bit soft for dead-vertical edging-fests, but still has enough big-toe bite to squeak by on spots of slabbier terrain.

I liked the Mastia, but I think it's fair to say that I've loved the Indalo. Whilst they're ultimately very similar shoes, the Indalo feels like a step up. The fact it's capable of doing a bit of everything (and doing it well) should make this an extremely attractive shoe for someone that's looking to push themselves within a wide variety of rock types and disciplines. The downside is simply that, at £160, this is one of the most expensive shoes on the market. Maybe this is the way things are going (I suspect so), but the price is the only off-putting factor I can think of.
The Tenaya Indalo is a justifiably expensive shoe that will perform admirably across various rock types and angles. As an all-arounder, the Indalo isn’t the best edging shoe we’ve ever tried, nor does it glom onto smears like some super-soft slippers. It will, however, tackle pockets, edges, slopers, and hooks with A-grade precision, and for long, varied sport pitches you’d be hard pressed to find a more capable shoe.
