Tenaya Aruma Climbing Shoes - Ultra-Soft Competition Performance

The Tenaya Aruma is a soft, aggressively downturned performance climbing shoe built for maximum friction and immediate feedback. If you want to feel every volume, smear and steep sequence through your feet, this is Tenaya's answer.

The ultra-soft split sole moves naturally with your foot and adapts closely to friction-dependent features, while the downturned toe box concentrates power when small footholds and steep terrain demand accuracy. Tenaya's patented Draxtor closure lets you adjust tension quickly and evenly, and generous sticky rubber across the toe and instep gives confident toe hooks with good abrasion resistance. Listed weight is approximately 217g. Choose the Aruma for competition-style bouldering and steep, technical sport climbing.
