What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I like how this LV fit wraps my foot without dead space, and the shoe still feels soft enough to read the wall. The toe patch grabs well during tension moves, and the heel stays locked in when I'm hooking on overhangs."We step onto steep walls looking for a shoe that reads the rock as quickly as we do, and the Shaman 2S LV Climbing Shoe from Evolv gives us that connection. Its low-volume fit wraps the foot in a way that feels secure yet pliable, letting us stay confident on polished nubbins, subtle dishes, and aggressive toe placements. As climbs turn more complex, the soft upper and focused midsole blend sensitivity with enough structure to channel power through tiny footholds. The EVO 74 rubber grips reliably on textured stone and fiberglass volumes, and the toe patch works with our movement when tension or directional pulls become part of the sequence. With its responsive feel and dialed fit, the Shaman 2S LV helps us stay in tune with the wall on everything from indoor boulders to outdoor testpieces.
