A great all around comfortable shoe that is precise enough for your next gym session. Features double stitch construction, padded collar and heel, polypropylene midsole and one-piece binding. Size up for a comfort fit and size down for a more aggressive performance fit but keep in mind that climbing shoes are supposed to fit very tight and at a minimum your toes should be touching the end of the shoe. Your toes will be curled a bit if you buy a size down for a more performance fit. The shoes come pre downsized! We recommend for new climbers to go up a FULL size from their street shoe size.

• Please refer to the Sizing Chart for Recommended Size.
• Padded Collar and Heel for Comfort.

Sometimes our reviewers say it best: "There's nothing the Oasi can't do" - Climbing Magazine. The Oasi 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 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, and you can expect consistent performance throughout the life of the shoe, thanks to the synthetic upper and cotton lining.
