Evolv Shaman Climbing Shoe
Building off the legacy of the original, the newly redesigned Shaman has an improved fit in terms of engineered comfort and performance with more toe rubber for toe hooking and an inset front strap for better medial side toe scumming.
A couple different technologies create the perfect downturned toe fit for powerful edging, pulling, and toe hooking. The "Love Bump" midsole fills dead space under your toes while putting much needed energy towards the edging surface. The "Knuckle Box" makes room for your big toe knuckle to rest in a curled position without having to push fabric and rubber out of the way, which can lead to hot spots and sometimes debilitating pain.
A nifty three-strap closure provides a powerful fit while a split tongue offers serious comfort and easy on and off. Finally, Evolv's Variable Thickness Rand (VTR) system puts thinner rand rubber in areas to reduce pressure points and hot spots around the foot as well as thicker rubber for increased longevity in the high wear zones near the toe for durability and performance.
