Tenaya Oasi

The Oasi is Tenaya's most aggressive all-rounder, developed for steep sport routes and boulder problems where precision matters. Its downturned, asymmetric last and narrower, pointed toe box give it a sharp, technical feel underfoot, while the 3.5mm Vibram XS Grip sole delivers serious purchase on small edges and thin smears alike. The construction also lowers the heel while climbing, keeping the shoe responsive and giving it a genuinely strong heel hook.

What sets the Oasi apart is its Draxtor closure, a combined Velcro and lace system that lets you dial in tension separately across different parts of the foot. Once set up for your foot shape, it holds that fit reliably, so you're not fighting the shoe or re-adjusting mid-session. The microfibre upper and cotton lining add to the comfort, making the Oasi one of the few high-performance shoes you can happily wear for hours. If you climb hard on steep terrain and want a shoe that keeps up without punishing your feet, the Oasi is worth trying.
