Downturned climbing shoes are all the rage these years, but Evolv's Rave Climbing Shoe's flatter last still proves its worth on dead-vertical climbs or heinous slabs. It's moderately asymmetric to balance comfort with precision, making it an excellent choice for technical footwork on dime-sized edges in the middle of a multi-pitch. The VTR rand maintains a solid fit that will never result in a baggy heel, and unlined leather stretches for a cusomtized fit and feel. The full-length midsole maintains all-day comfort with solid support, and Trax SAS rubber is Evolv's most durable option that offers the best traction.
