Perfect for a combination of bouldering and sport climbing. Also fits just as well as a lace-up shoe.
I wanted a more technical shoe for bouldering that could also be used for vertical climbs, and this shoe has the specs for both. The toe and the insole curve are just aggressive enough to encourage using your feet properly, but are not so downturned that they hinder edging and smearing.
Like everyone else has said, don't downsize for this shoe. I wear a 6.5-7 regular shoe, and the 6.5 Evolv has been perfect (although at first I could barely get my foot into it!). It is also a painful break-in. But it only took 2 days of climbing for them to stop hurting.
I have narrow feet, and almost had to buy lace-ups to get a good fit. No shoes that only have 2 velcro straps were snug enough. But the Shaman's three straps make a difference. The ability to take the shoes off between climbs means that they will continue to fit better than lace-up ones that you end up walking around in.
Happy Feet

I wanted a more aggressive bouldering shoe, but struggled to find one that fit well due to my feet being cursed by the climbing gods (low volume with a morton's toe). Then the clouds parted and down came the shaman lv--roomy toe box, love bump and all that, but shrunk from the original shamans to fit narrow, thin feet.
I've been climbing in them for a few weeks now, so I can't comment on durability yet. However, size-wise. I'm a women's 9 in street shoes. I was climbing in Five Ten Anasazi's LV size 9 (which reminds me--I do miss the C4 rubber, but I'll get the Anasazi's resoled and split my allegiance). I found that I had to size down in the shamans to 8.5. My street shoe size had too much room in the heel and arch--it didn't feel very secure. 8.5 has been perfect.
Awesome low volume gnar climbing shoe!

I have extremely low volume feet with high arches, and these shoes feel like they were made for me. I've always been partial to evolv shoes because I like that they don't cut into the back of my heel the way other shoes always seem to. Until now, they haven't had an aggressive shoe specifically designed for women's feet. Get STOKED because these are just what the doctor ordered!
After asking the staff at Evolv about how the sizing of this shoe runs, I sized up to a 6.5 US to accommodate for the aggressive styling. This show is downturned and down cambered, love bump and different toe box (I wear a 5.5 US in Evolv Rockstars & Elektras; both of these shoes have ). Evolv's website has a great breakdown of different types of shoes here:
http://www.evolvsports.com/sp/product-icons/
I've climbed on overhanging, slab, and cracks of granite in Little Cottonwood Canyon and indoors in these shoes (sport & bouldering). The styling really makes sticking the tiniest ledges almost effortless, and my ability to climb ceilings instantly increased due to the minimal effort I now need to use to keep my feet planted. The shoe is surprisingly comfortable for the style (not recommended for prolonged wear!), and the extra straps really allow you to cinch it down in a way that other velcro enclosure shoes have missed out on until now.
For what I have used them for thus far, they are shaping up to be a pretty amazing shoe. I give it five stars, and highly recommend it to others!
Awesome Shoe

Had these shoes for almost two months now and I love them. Awesome grip, great fit, aggressive downturn. They run true to size. I wear a 7.5-8 in street shoes and got these in a 7.5. There is some air in the heel, but it's never caused an issue while climbing. As with most shoes, they start out tight and give a little, but still stay nice and snug. I would definitely recommend these

So I'm an 8.5 in street shoes. A 39 in sportivas what shoe size should I go with in these?
Jeni Nash
Member since
I sized up from a US 5.5 in evolv rockstars to a US 6 in these to accomodate for the 'love bump' and more aggressive styling of the show. Which sportivas are you climbing in? A lot goes into the size comparison (width of the rand, angle of downturn (if any), symmetry of toe, etc). The word I received from Evolv when I reached out to them on sizing was to bump up half to a full size from my other Evolv brand shoes, but the correlation doesn't work for this situation. If all else fails, give BC a call and we can help you out!
Is the shoe size for these in men or women?...

Is the shoe size for these in men or women? I know it's a women shoe, but want to make sure on the sizing.

Hey Jason - you got it right, sizing is women's for this one.
