Evolv Evo Climbing Shoe

Item #EVL0031 | 39 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Good, not great.

By Ranked #1177 - Climbing Shoes May 8, 2009

Evolvs don't stretch, so bear that in mind when you buy.
I've used these in the gym and outdoors for bouldering and vertical (no trad yet) and the shoes are pretty decent, but the toes always feel a little sloppy. Can't get enough precision on tiny foot holds and end up having to do weird half-smears. As far as the rubber being really sticky, I have to disagree. It's not terrible, it just isn't any better than typical. The heel ridges are fun and the rubber is thick enough that you won't get sore from using them.
