EVOLV Quest AF Climbing Shoes
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009The Evolv Quest AF, an upgrade from the former Quest, is a versatile all-purpose shoe that is technical enough to use on hard trad climbs in Yosemite, and when sized comfortably can be used on long all-day climbs without sacrificing performance.

Asymmetric toe profile provides good technical performance (KA-1 last). Equipped with a visible, full length stiff midsole for extra support and edging power. MX-2: 2mm stiff full-length midsole + MX-1: 1mm full-length midsole. A low-tension heel rand: 2.2mm TRAX® duro-rand. 5mm TRAX® XT-5 high friction rubber outsole. Assembled in the USA.

EVOLV Defy Climbing Shoes
Monday, November 23rd, 2009The Evolv® Defy climbing shoes combine the benefits of a comfortable multipurpose shoe and the convenience of a Velcro® performance shoe. Get the sensitivity of a slipper, and smear on any slick sloper or stick on overhanging faces. Comfortable enough to wear on long multi-pitch routes or gym marathon-training sessions, the Defy is built for all levels of climbers. Non-stretch Synthratek; synthetic upper; vegan friendly, non-stretch. 4.2 mm TRAX; XT-5 high-friction rubber for optimum grip and durability. 2.2mm TRAX; duro-rand ties the sole to the shoe for sensitivity and power. Asymmetrical toe profile for more power. MX-1 1mm sensitive teardrop half-length midsole for edging and support. Nylon lining and overlapping padded tongue for comfort. Slipper shape and performance without the uncomfortable pressure and crunch. These shoes will not stretch; order a size that fits snugly, but not too tight; EVOLV shoes are scaled so your U.S. street shoe size will usually give a snug fit.
