Evolv Bandit Climbing Shoe

Ive used 5 different pairs of climbing shoes but so far, these are by Far my favorites. It is firm enough so you can really get the sides of your feet on really small ridges on your problem. I used them for both bouldering and sport climbing and they worked well in either type of climb. Plus, if you are the type who likes to use your toe on those little ledges, it has enough curve to grab onto even the smallest hold.

These shoes are real legit i highly recommend. I did a lot of research before i bought shoes and these had really good ratings so i went for it and i definitely do not regret it. Theyre extremely comfortable, the sizing was great, and the best part is theyre really breathable when ur climbing ur feet dont get super sweaty n stuff. Great buy, i recommend to you!

These are fantastic shoes for those whose feet have the Evolv shape. A couple of things to note about them. Very comfortable, even for long sessions and multi-pitch stuff. Decent edges that keep their grip even after they've been "broken in," and very sensitive rubber. I could feel just about anything in them without any pain. I didn't find the rubber to be particularly durable, I blew both the toes within about a month of each other after about 7-8 months of hard, regular climbing. A friend of mine had the same durability issue with the bandits. That said, as a poor college student I felt like I definitely got my money's worth with this $80 pair. Another note, they're regularly 80, not 100. Don't ever pay more than 80 for these.

The Bandit is an excellent all-around shoe. The Trax rubber is at least as good, if not better than 5.10 Stealth. Sized the same as your street shoe, the shoe is tight with toes curled, but not painful. I would go 1/2 size up for all day wear, but I can climb 2-3 pitches easily without needed to take the shoes off. Very well made; my year-old shoes are showing no abnormal degradation despite heavy use. The semi-stiff sole has a great balance between edging ability and smearing performance. I only have two gripes. 1) A slight dead space in the heel detracts from heel-hooking, but that's not what they're designed for. 2) they are relatively stiff and thus are ideal for very steep climbing, although they are not bad. Anything less than 45 degrees overhanging is just fine though.
