Maximum friction. Immediate feedback.

The Tenaya Aruma is a soft, aggressively downturned performance shoe for climbers who want close contact on volumes, smears and steep sequences. Its split sole moves naturally with the foot, while the Draxtor closure and generous toe rubber provide a secure platform for technical bouldering and sport climbing.

Why You’ll Love It

• High-definition feel - The soft split sole adapts closely to volumes, smears and friction-dependent features.
