Evolv is a fantastic company and they have provided us with another superb shoe. The thinner midsole in this shoe provides for added sensitivity on your climbs. That little bit of extra control in this shoe provides that much more in your cliimbing experience. The precision on this shoe excels. Excellent on tiny edges, tiny jibs, smearing. Really whatever you throw at it. The rubber is great, the feel is very comfortable, and they are excellent indoors and out.

These shoes are a good addition to any duffel bag because they are a good velcro shoe very similar to Evolv Defy, La Sportiva Mantis and they are decently priced as well. These shoes I used in a bouldering comp and i mixed and matched the Mantis with these and they are basically the same shoe. Affordable and comfortable for outdoor climbing and indoor training.

This is a good alternative to other flat velcro shoes (MR Flash, Evolv Defy). They are really breathable and work really well for edging and smearing. I would suggest this shoe to a lot of the people that are looking for a Gym-only shoe because they are relatively cheap, climb well and breath better than the defy.
