Tenaya Oasi

The Tenaya Oasi is a high end performance climbing shoe, developed for steep terrain but is also reasonably adept across the angles.

Two years of design development went into producing the Oasi, Tenaya's flagship model, and the result is a shoe used by Alex Megos (one of the world's leading climbers) to successfully execute the world's first 9a onsight.

The Oasi is most often compared to the La Sportiva Solution, however in truth it's quite a different animal. Narrower with a precision 'pointy' toe box, the Oasi provides a more traditional asymmetric curve, oppose to the Solution's very arrow-like, front-on toe box. The forefoot itself is also narrower than that of the Solution, however the more supple upper used on the Oasi is extremely forgiving and is remarkably adaptable to those with a wider forefoot (within reason). The fit of the Oasi's heel closer resembles that of a Five Ten Dragon. Finally, perhaps the most innovative feature is the closure/fastening mechanism. This utilises two multi directional straps which not only give an amazing level of fit and adjustment but, unlike most contemporary models, are also fully adjustable - allowing you to shorten or lengthen in the field, to cope with narrower feet, stretch or comfort requirements.
