5.0 out of 5 stars Great comfort, value, and performance, November 20, 2007

I love these shoes! I've been climbing for about a year (mostly indoor), and have found these shoes to be a great performer and quite comfortable. To top it all off, they are toward the lower end of the price scale, which makes them a winner all around. Whether indoor or outdoor, these have done well. I have a wider foot, and these shoes seem to be designed to fit a foot like mine. I particularly like the medium curvature - too flat and you can't be as agressive with cracks and edging - too curved and it isn't comfortable. This really is the best of all worlds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Comfortable, Wear out quicker for rookies like me, January 11, 2010

This was by far the most comfortable shoe I tried on and 8 months later I still love them, but wore a hole in the toe from my early days of foot mashing on the walls.

Know if you're a rookie like I was, the toe will wear out if you use the wall like sand paper instead of more seasoned foot work. Mine lasted ~8 months and I just ordered a new pair that will hopefully last 12 months with better footwork.

These were the first climbing shoes I bought. They lasted about 6 months (climbing indoors 2-3 times a week) before I wore a whole in both toes. They are decently comfortable for a lower end shoe, but now that I have been climbing with my new 5.10 Anasazi's I can understand why they are so much cheaper. The Anasazi's are a huge step up in accuracy and aggressiveness, without really sacrificing any comfort. If you are new to climbing and aren't sure if you want to shell out $130 for shoes the eVolvs will be a good starting point, but if you want to do some real climbing look for something else. And start with the 5.10 Anasazi (FiveTen Men's Anasazi VCS Onyx Climbing Shoe)
