Evolv

Shaman Climbing Shoe

Personally Love These Shoes

Breaking these in wasn’t particularly comfortable but after a few sessions these fit like a glove and I have no pain wearing them. I wear a 10.5 and half sized up (per the evolv reps recommendation) and I’m glad I did. Keeps me locked in on footholds and they smear pretty well too. Plenty of rubber so these should last me a while. Great shoe if you want something aggressive and sturdy. Not the most sensitive under your toes but that’s kinda what I wanted, the rubber is not super soft so you feel comfortable on smaller footholds. Love these, I recommend them to anyone who’s had experience in intermediate level climbing shoes, otherwise if you’re getting into the sport you might want to consider something a little less aggressive.

Great fitting shoe, sticks to granite so well.

solid shoe

I've had the shoe for a good 9 months and they are just starting to show wear a bit. I'm a very active climber I usually climb 5 days a week for around 3 hours. With that in mind, they held up really well and have fit to my foot pretty well making them comfortable enough to walk around in. They still will last for a month or so. they are still grippy and I would buy this again but I'm most likely going to upgrade to a different shoe within the Evolv.

New Evolv Shaman

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

10

I have owmed and worn the two previous Evolv Shaman models and was concwperned that the newest model would fall short, but quite the opposite. The newest Evolv Shaman has more volume, but provides a comfortable, precise glove-like fit. Well done, Evolv.

Great shoes

Shoes are very snug and have not stretched too much in the past couple months of use. I don't wear them for long periods. I do a couple routes and take them off to give my feet a rest. They grip indoor walls really well and seem to be pretty durable. I would recommend this shoe to other climbers.

Overall great grip on the climbing wall for gym bouldering. Lots of versatility, solid intermediate level shoe. The toe box can be a little steep and uncomfortable but it does slightly stretch, then fits like a glove.

Let’s talk about “wide”

Everyone says wide feet but I don’t think they actually have wide feet. I am a 6e width 43. The shaman doesn’t even come close. Awesome shoe but if you actually have wide feet on a brannock, you’re not just some bouldering kid who thinks he has wide feet, look elsewhere. These might just be roomy for average feet.

I have wide feet and this is one of the only performance shoes I've felt "comfortable" in.

I love these shoes
