Elektra Climbing Shoe
Actually, please don't literally kiss those stinky, dirty rentals goodbye, but do say hello to the Evolv Women's Elektra Climbing Shoe. You'll notice a few differences right off the bat. The first thing you'll notice when you're packing the Elektra to go up to the crag is that these shoes don't smell. The low asymmetry and flat profile offer the same comfort you need while you learn how to climb, while the sensitive midsole works with the Trax rubber to give you better performance than before.

Decent shoe
I had to go up two sizes to get my feet into the shoe. I wear a women's 7.5-8 and had to buy a size 10 to get them on my feet. After a few months of climbing, they were so stretched out that when my feet got sweaty they slid around inside the shoe, even with the velcro straps as tight as I could get them. They also smell horrible, despite the shoe disinfectant. It's a decent shoe, but I'd probably not buy this brand again.

Run way too small

I normally wear women size 6.5, ordered a pair in size 7 after reading reviews. But they still ran small, my toes bent in a painful way inside the shoes. I have to return them. Size 7.5 might work better for me.

I ordered an 8.5. My true shoe size is usually an 8 and they fit my size 6 friend perfectly so they were more like a size 6.5 for her. I have to return them so I can’t speak to the performance.

Great beginner shoe
These were my first pair of climbing shoes ever! They are comfy, not too aggressive, but have great rubber. Definitely better for beginners.

Great beginner shoes
I am a size 7.5 when it comes to regular sneakers, but I ordered a size 8 for these as I was not sure how tight climbing shoes were supposed to be. It fits snug, with some room in the heel area. Next time I order the same shoes, I would go with size 7.5 as I have been told by more experienced climbers that some discomfort is okay (and preferred) because you need the shoe to fit tightly for heel hooks. I have flat arches, these shoes are wide enough to accommodate my foot shape and very comfortable that I can keep them on for 1.5+ bouldering sessions. Overall I really like these shoes as a beginner

I love the look and once I got the right size the feel of these shoes. Order 1 Size up to get the correct size. I’m a true women’s 6 and ordered like the chart said but had to reorder the 7’s.

Item runs small, even after sizing up to accommodate.

Elektra
I bought these a couple months ago and I love them. Very comfortable. I can stay in them all day so now they are my outdoor climbing shoe.

Do you have a question about this product?
February 10, 2024
Does anyone have sizing specs (for 8.5 specifically) I wear between an 8-9 in different shoe brand but it really depends. Do these tend to run snug, would an 8.5 be laright?

Is it possible to wash these? My Elektra's are starting to stink a bit and I'm not sure if I should hand wash them, put them in the washer with some climbing clothes and hang to dry...please HELP lol
