Oasi
Ultimately versatile
When we started on ‘project OASI’ we wanted to create a curved climbing shoe that works as well on friction slabs and vertical walls as it does on overhanging routes and boulder problems, and to achieve this we had to re-think our whole design process and invent new technologies.
The final result is a climbing shoe of stunning precision as well as exceptional comfort.
Its design and system of construction lets the heel sit lower while climbing and is superbly responsive to every situation, relaying detailed information back to the user at all times.
Advantages
- Curve with a larger response range.
- The design and construction system are engineered to provide more information with each movement, delivering amazing precision and responsiveness on all types of difficult holds.
- The angulation of the toe, its volume and curved lines allow you to climb with your heel lower and help you to attack countless ledges more easily.
- High level of comfort in a curved, high-performance climbing shoe.
- Patented Draxtor fastening system that allows you to select the desired tension at the front and back of the shoe.
Recommended use
Vertical or overhanging routes and all kinds of bouldering.

Unbelievably versatile
The Oasi’s design and system of construction lets the heel sit lower while climbing and is superbly responsive to every situation, relaying detailed information back to the user in any situation.
PERFORMANCE AERIAL PLUS LINE
The OASI’s aggressively curved form responds to every subtle movement of the foot. To further enhance this we have created RBRX — a new technology which works seamlessly with our SXR Dynamics system, giving you greater contact with the rock over a range of movements.
Maximum range of response and balance

Superior power Transmission
A 3.5mm rubber sole and five-micro-layer insole conveys every nuance of the rock and allows maximum transmission of power to the footholds.
More fit and precision
Highly specialized without sacrificing anything that is the relevant thing of Oasi, its ability to make climbing easier and more intuitive.
DRAXTORDRAXTOR
Fast, precise tightening system
Tenaya’s patented closure system is unique. It’s so precise, so quick and easy to use and provides independent tension control over different parts of the shoe. Once the user has configured the system to their specific requirements they will never need to waste time on adjustment again.

SO COMFORTABLE THAT ALL YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT IS CLIMBING
The first time you try the OASI you’ll realize that it’s something completely different. Despite its curved form the OASI is superbly comfortable — more so than many flat rock shoes — allowing you to climb all day without even thinking about pain.
