Evolv Phantom Climbing Shoes - Aggressive Elite Performance Shoe

Built with the people who climb the hardest. The Evolv Phantom Climbing Shoes are an aggressively downturned performance shoe developed with elite climbers including Daniel Woods and Paul Robinson, for climbers who want control, sensitivity and power on the most technical terrain.

The clever bit is under your foot. The AVT (Abridged Variable Thickness) midsole is thicker in the forefoot for power and thinner at the edges for sensitivity, with a cut-out under the big toe so you can feel micro footholds. The TPS+ (Tension Power System Plus) adds arch tension, eliminates dead space underfoot and keeps the downturn from flattening out over time, and the Dark Spine S heel transfers power efficiently while staying sensitive for technical heel work. The Compression Closure System (CCS) dials the fit in, a moulded VTR rand adds durability and comfort, and 4.2mm of TRAX® SAS rubber does the gripping. The synthetic upper is vegan and holds its shape session after session.

Sizing: street shoe size for a tight, aggressive max performance fit; +½ size for a snug, session-capable performance fit; +1 to +1.5 sizes for comfort.
