Hi, I need help in getting the right size for the Evolv prime climbing shoes. If anyone out there that have a pair maybe you can advice me. I have tried on a pair of Evolv Defy climbing shoes and the right size in that model is between 8 and 8.5. Should I get an 8 or 8.5 in the Evolv prime. Someone said that I should get a half size larger then the other models because the prime is design to be real tight.

Hey Dan I bought these shoes twice. Once in size 11 and another size 11.5. I own Defy size 10.5 as well and wear 9.5 street. The defy 10.5 fit perfect and the 11 primes I could not get on. The 11.5 are very very tight and hurt my feat. I wish i bought the size 12. So if 8.5 fit with defy buy size 10, 9.5 might fit.

oh in the defy . . didn't see that. My foot is exactly 9.5 inches long and the primes are definitely meant to fit right on those sizes. 9.0 was small for me with the primes in the beginning, but works perfectly for me now. could almost go a whole size down if you are in between sizes aka 9.25 inch foot or something maybe a 8.5 would work if you're into an incredibly agressive shoes. I always size pretty damn agressive and going from 9.5(foot size) to 9.0 was about my limit for these. Again, they bag out a bit over time in the toe and heel.

I was between a 9.5 and 9.0 and I got the 9.0. They hurt pretty good for the first 2 weeks and I'd put a good 20+ hours on them. Since then I've been wearing them a lot for the past 4 months and the 9.0 is getting a bit baggy in the heel, but other than that the fit has remained pretty similar. The heel is still excellent for hooking and secure enough that I don't ever worry about it. The Toe is lined and packs out a bit as well, but it'll give you a great fit after a while. At the moment, i'm extremely glad I got the 9.0's. excellent shoe.
