What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I’ve climbed in a ton of shoes over the years, and the Shaman keeps surprising me. It locks my foot in with just the right amount of downturn and support. The Love Bump and Knuckle Box work together for a super secure toe feel, and I can climb hard in these without my feet screaming after every pitch."From steep gym problems to outdoor overhangs, the Shaman Climbing Shoe from Evolv is built to match our most aggressive moves with precision and power. Designed in collaboration with Chris Sharma, this shoe balances performance with comfort—so we can stay focused on sequences instead of sore toes. The downturned shape and tensioned rand support confident footwork on small holds, while the flexible midsole adapts to smears and volume hooks with ease. Trax SAS rubber grips reliably on plastic and rock, and the triple Velcro closure system makes adjustments fast between burns. A synthetic upper limits stretch over time, while Evolv’s signature Love Bump and Knuckle Box features eliminate dead space and relieve pressure where it counts. From toe hooks to micro-edges, the Shaman offers a powerful, high-friction connection to every surface.
