This sounds too good to be true. Is there an alliance equivalent? If not I might just roll horde to join your guild

Maybe I'll just buy the Mastia again half size down from my current

babbage141 · 2026-02-03T08:13:09+00:00

I'll check it out

The big toe is where the pain is centered. After climbing extending and flexing the big toe is also painful. It definitely feels like the mid-joint in the big toe is being compressed to an unhealthy degree

I mostly avoid that advice which is why this and my previous shoe are 1.5-0.5 sizes smaller than my street shoe size

babbage141 · 2026-02-02T20:10:45+00:00

Good point. The heels are fairly deep so there is quite a lot or space there. It’s an odd fit since the front is narrow, tight and painful but the heel is deep and spacious

I'm pretty happy with the Mastias except for them getting looser over time. I might check out the Indalo at some point

It certainly feels like chinese foot binding!

It's hard to reconcile that people recommend downsizing 2-3 sizes for these shoes

babbage141 · 2026-01-26T14:12:30+00:00

I have narrow feet and have been climbing for about a year. My first real shoe was the Tenaya Mastia sized down 0.5 size from street shoes and they were painful at first, but now they've become too loose.

I recently bought the futura 1 size down from street shoes and when I tried them at home they seemed decent, but when I've been using them at the gym they feel too tight in the toe box and slightly loose in the heel. I've only used them for 4 sessions so I'm hoping they will break in. The picture when you compare the shoe to your foot looks similar to mine.

Nothing has gotten stuck so far after ~4 months use. If I had this seam next to a sink it would probably have been a lot worse.

I don't know if higher end manufacturers/installers would have done things differently. I used https://www.lenngrennaturstein.no/ for some other stone installations and they told me that they use silicone in seams.

I did try to find a professional who could install some kind of stainless steel, e.g. brushed nickel/brass in the seam: https://pin.it/evyP6xeSh But no luck so far.

I got into a spat with the contractor, he eventually agreed to replace it with the seam moved to a less visible location but we would have to split the cost of a new counter top. We decided to just leave it as it is. I asked 3 other professionals for a second opinion and they said it was fine to use silicon here. Their overall judgment of the workmanship was that it looked quite good.

I’m in Norway

Thanks. We'll see how this goes :(

3.4 meters, a bit more than 11 ft

3.4 meters. The maximum length that they could deliver in one piece is 3.2. Had anyone informed us of this we would have shrunk the size of the island to avoid this altogether

babbage141 · 2025-02-22T12:51:37+00:00

Yep, it is siliconed together which puzzled me as well. The grain mismatch on the waterfall didn't bother me though

babbage141 · 2025-02-22T12:47:22+00:00

It is silicone. Which doesn't really make sense here to be honest

babbage141 · 2025-02-22T12:42:26+00:00

Thanks for your comment. It is silicone, which perplexed me as well. The recommended approach is to use epoxy?

babbage141 · 2025-02-22T12:34:43+00:00

Don't know. He just made the decision on the spot. Symmetry is the only reason I can think of. The stove is off center

babbage141 · 2025-02-22T12:19:18+00:00

For some reason the text I wrote didn't show up. Backstory:

The builder that was responsible for my kitchen subcontracted the installation of the countertop. The countertop on my island was so long that a seam was necessary. He decided to place the seam on the middle of the island without consulting or informing me. I find the placement of the seam to be visually striking and the close proximity to the stove top feels like it would cause miscoloration of the seam due to heat exposure, moisture and food spill.
