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 advanced to elite climbers.
