Evolv Prime SC Climbing Shoe
A cool shoe but...

...they wear out way too fast! My pair lasted for 2 months and now both toe caps are broken and the soles are full of small cuts. The rubber sure is sticky but... Well, as they say, you can't get everything. If you're prepared to pay for the short fun, go ahead. I myself am going back to La Sportiva's Miura VSs (which is an excellent shoe forgetting that the front velcro attachment tears off after a while =) and consider trying 5.10 Dragons out....

i definatly dont agree with this statment....it all depends on how u climb. ive had these shoes for a solid 2-2 1/2 months and i climb at the gym anywhere from 3-5 times a week and 1 day a week outdoors at a local crag all of which has me climbing in these shoes for about 4-5 hours per day that i climb and some days more. my shoes do have some normal wear etc but nothing extreme like what was described above. the only thing i can really say about these shoes thats bad is that they smell HORRIBLE but thats sovled with some odor eaters and letting them air out for a while on my back porch one day while im not climbing

I'm with you on the durability issue. DONT buy these shoes if you climb more than once a week. I've only had these shoes for about a month and a half and i am now edging on the tips of my bare big toes. but if you have the $$$ for a new pair every month they'd be sweet.
