Evolv Shaman | Climbing Shoe Review - Rock+Run

The Evolv Phantom Climbing Shoe is made for the climber looking to maximize power while maintaining sensitivity for the occasional smear (PSR 8). A downturned toe box accents its aggressively cambered shape. We made the sole with our stickiest TRAX SAS rubber compound to keep a firm grip on plastic and all rock types. Rounded out with a Dark Spine S heel midsole, pushing more power through your foot to the toebox, there’s a reason high-level athletes like Daniel Woods and Paul Robinson wear this shoe. Sole material : Rubber - Trax 4.2 mm - Resoleable Closure type : Hook & Loop Engineered for steep rock climbing on small holds with an aggressive downturn shape. PSR 8.Evolv climbing shoes are not designed to be downsized. Evolv sizing uses three categories of fit: Max Performance. Ultra Snug. Use street shoe size. Performance. Snug.
