Evolv climbing shoes are not designed to be downsized. Evolv sizing uses three categories of fit: Max Performance. Ultra Snug. Use street shoe size. Performance. Snug. Add .5 to 1.0 sizes to street size. Comfort. Relaxed. Add 1.0 to 1.5 sizes to street size.
PSR is a rock shoe selection tool that ranges from (1) sensitive/smearing to (10) powerful/edging. PSR 1-3. Highly sensitive for smearing and volumes. PSR 4-7. Versatile for smearing and edging. PSR 8-10. Powerful for small holds.
Evolv shoes come in 2 different volumes. Low-Volume LV is designed for a maximum performance fit and lower-volume foot shapes. Medium-Volume MV is designed for a snug fit and average-volume foot shapes.
Description
The Evolv Zenist Pro Climbing Shoe provides more power (PSR 3) than the original Zenist (PSR 1) and retains the sensitivity that competitive climbers require. Our EVOWRAP tension technology helps to maintain the shoe's cambered shape without taking away any sensitivity. You can still feel the small holds that turn tricky problems into successful onsights. Our Contour outsole, featuring TRAX SAS rubber, gives this shoe a solid grip on slick footholds. The synthetic upper and rubber over the forefoot keep the shoe from stretching much over time.
