Evolv Elektra Climbing Shoe - Women's

Get your crack on

By Ranked #794 - Rock Climbing Shoes July 27, 2007

I believed this shoe might work for sport climbing, but in fact I find this shoe most superior for crack climbing. The small amount of face climbing I've done in them made me feel less-than-assured of their edging abilities, but they are the bomb diggity for jamming in cracks or smearing against tiny fingertip cracks and seams! On slab they smear relatively well too but for desperate, performance smearing I still prefer my Mythos; Elektra's asymmetrical toe makes for less surface area to friction.
