Tenaya Oasi LV
Tenaya
Low-volume version of the Oasi, refined for narrower feet. Shares all of the Oasi's design DNA - semi-split sole, Vibram XS Grip 3.5mm rubber, and Draxtor closure - in a tighter-fitting package. The reduced volume eliminates dead space, translating to better precision and less foot movement inside the shoe on technical terrain.
Best For
Best for bouldering and sport climbing on vertical, overhang and roof terrain. Aimed at intermediate to advanced climbers.
Strengths & Trade-offs
Strengths
- Low-volume fit eliminates dead space for narrow feet
- Same semi-split sole and rubber as the Oasi
- Draxtor closure adjusts across different parts of the shoe independently
- Lycra tongue conforms to foot shape
- Versatile across all wall angles
Trade-offs
- Too narrow for average or wide feet
- Semi-split sole less supportive than full-sole on micro-edges
- Synthetic won't stretch to accommodate sizing mistakes

Fit profile: narrow width, low forefoot volume, narrow heel, suits greek toe shapes.
Minimal stretch expected; minimal break-in; manufacturer suggests downsizing 0.5-2 EU from street size.
