5.0 out of 5 stars. One of the most comfortable shoes on the marketReviewed by Kennoyce from utah on Friday, May 5, 2017These shoes are soooo comfortable right out of the box, it's amazing. I'm guessing that the people saying that the sizing is off have never worn climbing shoes, because these fit very true to street shoe sizing. For a performance fit size these down 1/2 size from your street shoe and go at it (that's what I do and they fit great). These aren't super aggressive, but for vertical to slightly overhanging, and technical edging these are great shoes (especially for the price). I highly recommend them!

4.0 out of 5 stars. Ignore the 1 Star Reviews!Reviewed by Dylan from Denver, CO on Tuesday, February 28, 2017These are GREAT shoes for the money. They are moderately aggressive, not so downturned that you have to take your shoes off after every route, but turned enough to be fairly aggressive on overhangs or edging on tiny chips. I love these shoes, they were so cheap that I bought two pairs and have one pair dedicated for gym climbing and one pair for outside.
YES...the sizing is weird. Like any climbing shoe or mountaineering boot or all footwear in general, it is best to try some on in a store before ordering anything online. These are my second pair of Evolvs (different models) and both I had to size up significantly. Different brands all size differently. My running shoes are an 8.5, other running shoes 9, Scarpa and Lowa boots 9, my old 5.10 climbing shoes were a 10.5, these Evolvs are 11!!! Common sense says try them on first before you [...] and moan about shoes you ordered online not fitting! -
5.0 out of 5 stars. Perfect Fit and FeelReviewed by Whippa from Virginia on Thursday, February 23, 2017I don't know why other people having problem with sizing the shoes. I am 8-8.5 in tennis shoes and I bought 8.5 to get a snug fit, and that's what I got, a snug fit. The fit was not tight, it wraps around my toes, side, and heel perfectly without the need to break in. There is no dead space in this shoes for me. I read reviews online before I buy it here for sizing and fit. The shoes is nice with slight downturn and pointy toe for pocket/edging. I bought the shoes specifically for indoor because I think the VTR on the rand is thicker, making it lasts longer on the plastic and gym wall. The TRAX rubber feels sticky on plastic. Overall, I give it 5 star for price, quality, and comfort.

1.0 out of 5 stars. Maybe if the sites sizing was correctVerified Buyer Reviewed by Ali from Utah on Wednesday, February 22, 2017These may be good shoes. BUT the sizing they give you is totally off. It says that for a womens 8 you order the mens 6.5 since they are supposed to be universal fitting. NOT THE CASE! I know climbing shoes should be snug, but these didn't even go on my foot. Apparently mens size 7.5 is what a womens size 8-8.5 is more like. This was a disappointment as I bought them for a climbing trip happening soon, and if I wanted to return then online I had to pay $2.95 shipping each way when they are the ones that have messed up the sizing between female and male. So overall poor experience get the right size and maybe they will be good shoes. P.S. google sizing transition between male and female don't trust their conversion on here.

5.0 out of 5 stars. Order 1/2 upVerified Buyer Reviewed by Matt K from Seattle, WA on Friday, February 17, 2017I wear a sz 12 shoe in most brands (nike basketball, nike sportswear, adidas, vans) and after reading reviews I was advised to order my street size and expect a tight fit that would eventually stretch to my foot. Unfortunately, a sz 12 in these still compressed my toes too much. I could not approach the wall at my local gym. I have a low volume foot (flat), but I will still have to exchange these for a larger size.
