Shaman Lace Climbing Shoe

Shaman Lace

Fits true to size. Great heel and toe control. No dead spots that I experienced in the Evolve Agro.

Great sensitivity and performance on overhanging routes. Comfortable as well.

Great shoe, heels don’t pop for me on this

These are the only aggressive shoes I could find in my size and they do not disappoint. They have an aggressive toe turn that is perfect for standing on those tiny foot holds on a climb. The only issue I had with them was that they get hot quick, climbing in Red Rock in Nevada it gets very hot and these shoes don’t have the same breathability that some other shoes have. However that does not take away from the positive overall experience with these shoes! Would recommend if you are like me and need size 15 aggressive climbing shoes!

My new favorite shoe

Absolutely love this shoe. I've been partial to Solutions and Instincts in the past, and this was my first Evolv shoe. After a bit of a painful break-in period, they have been fantastic. I've used them on outdoor and indoor bouldering and sport, and had the best few months of climbing ever. Precise toes, great edges, solid toe hooks, and the best heel hooks of any shoe I've worn. The rubber is still doing well too. I love the extra control the laces give, and the style, though it's not always as convenient as a strap.

Best of most worlds

Man I love these shoes. They’re bomber. Good for edging, smearing, sport, and bouldering. The shoes are fairly stiff, but even so I found they work wonderfully on slab. They’re fairly downturned as well, which had me skeptical of their effectiveness on vertical and less than vertical terrain, but my doubts were quickly dismissed. I use these for climbing on a lot of dacite, which climbs pretty similarly to granite. They work great on limestone sport climbs as well. A wonderful stiff, but not too stiff, bouldering and sport climbing shoe. I got exactly my street shoe size, maybe a half size up (I wear a 10 in vans and A 41.5 in solutions) and I got a size 10 shoe. Hurt a bit but broke in perfectly. Thanks evolv!

Favorite shoe for hard route climbs!

I love the Shaman Lace for climbing hard on limestone routes. You can edge very precisely. The shoes is very stiff which allows one to put more pressure on your toe point. I order them not too small (same than street shoe), which gives more confort and allow the shoe to break in better on my opinion. Best use for limestone routes, overhangs as well as more vertical climbs.

Great shoe, powerful and sticky. Weird heel fit

Bought this as a outdoor shoe as I live in the northeast and all we have a tiny edges basically. Out of the box super comfortable, the knuckle box and love bump both work as advertised. Toe is the best I’ve used hands down, love the power you can get. The front end fits my foot great, all my toes are curled up without stacking on top of eachother, but the shoe still feels very tight. The only complain I have is the heel fit, I have a very narrow heel and struggled to find shoes that fit that, evolv seems to fit the width very well, but the overall shape just doesn’t seem to work great with my heel. It hasn’t been a huge issue when hooking, but my heel doesn’t really sit in the bottom of the shoe, which ends up affecting how much I can feel below it. Never pops out, no slippage really, just some air under my heel. With that being said, I wanted a shoe for outdoor bouldering with tiny edges, and this is absolutely perfect for that. 4.5 stars would be more appropriate for my review.

Thank you evolv

I bought the Shaman lace for use on the crag I was skeptical about the fit to take having a pair of phantoms in size 7.5 even if they fit the size of my road shoe they are much smaller but due to the neoprene thing that expands over the fingers this was not a problem. Instead for the Shaman I chose half a size more than the phanton and I must say that I immediately had an excellent sensation of precise wrapping all around the foot and the arched toes but not too much so as not to be able to keep them in the feet, it has become my Favorite shoe, I recommend it to everyone, even my son who is in the pro Evolv program is super happy to compete with shaman pro and zenith, what else to say Thank you Evolv

MI SENSACION

EL PRODUCTO ES PERFECTO TIENE UNA ADAPTACION MUY BUENA (A LO QUE SE REFIERE A MI PIE) TIENE UN BUEN CANTEO EN REGLETAS Y SIENDO UN PIE DE GATO BASTANTE DURO EN PLACA DE GRANITO ME DA MUCHA SEGURIDAD. SOLO DOS COSAS QUE CREO QUE PODRIAN MEJORAR 1- EL CORDAGE PARA MI LE FALTA SIMPLEMENTE EN LA PARTE SUPERIOR OTROS ORIFICIOS PARA PODER CERRAR UN POCO MAS. 2- LA UNION DE LA PUNTERA CON LA SUELA NO SE EL MOTIVO PERO RAPIDAMENTE SE DESPEGA. POR LO DEMAS EL SHAMAN LACE ES PERFECTO
