![]() ![]() ![]() Since Evolv shoes are made out of synthetic leather, we recommend you get the shoe your street shoe size or half a size below since it won’t stretch lengthwise, though it will conform better to the shape of your foot over time. Overall, the Shaman is great for bouldering, gym climbing, and hard sport climbing. The main cons of the shoe are that it lacks sensitivity and can be smelly (however, some climbers prefer the lack of sensitivity since it gives their toes more protection). There is also a generous patch of rubber over the toes which helps when pulling toe hooks, and the shoe edges well on overhung terrain. The Shaman is comfortable given its aggressive nature and the Velcro closure system is well designed for a secure fit. What’s more, climbing prodigy Kai Lightner climbs his hardest stuff in the Shaman. Designed from the ground up by Chris Sharma, the Shaman won Climbing magazine’s Editor’s Choice award in 2012. The Evolv Shaman gets our pick as the best wide climbing shoe, and we’re not the only ones speaking highly of it. ![]() A post shared by Coran Gleed Photography on at 6:36am PST ![]()
