The popularity of the award-winning Oasi and the demand for a lower volume version led Tenaya to design this new edition. The Oasi LV maintains all of the key features of the original Oasi in a lower volume package. It will radically change how you think about high performance climbing shoes. Its down-turn and down-camber are ideally suited on steep climbs, but you will immediately notice the edging and smearing performance as well a true distinction. The 3.5mm Vibram XS Grip outsole and highly sensitive midsole make the Oasi LV feel like an extension of your foot rather than a box around it, and the comfort is unparalleled. The two straps utilize Draxtor Technology to provide a fine tuned fit. You can expect consistent performance throughout the life of the shoe, thanks to the synthetic upper and cotton lining.
