Built for beginners and advanced climbers alike, the Evolv Women's Skyhawk Climbing Shoe is the all-around climbing shoe to depend on. Designed with a narrower fit and a leather lining, these shoes mold to the shape of your foot the longer you wear them for next-to-skin comfort. Whether you're throwing down a classic multi-pitch or sport climbing training in the gym, the neutral profile, moderately stiff midsole, and synthetic overlay prevent foot fatigue as you slide your toes in unruly cracks and protect your feet from sharp limestone nubbins as you climb. Trax SAS rubber soles offer sticky friction for meticulous footwork and durability so you can train hard in the gym without wearing our your rubber for your outside sends.

I’m a 7.5 but did not want to size down so I ordered a 8.5 and my toes curl completely down. I only climb every few monthA now around a 510 it’s just really unnecessary. They should warn you they are sized over a full size could be 2 or three smaller so you don’t waste money returning them or worse yet have to keep them because you need them by a certain time. I don’t even think benifit by having your feet so crunched in really technical routes

Beautiful shoes and I wish I could have kept them, returning them was a sad moment. I usually wear size 7 but my left foot is marginally larger and I’ve been thinking of going for 7.5 in shoe size with the knowledge that it may be too big. However, the 7.5 in this shoe was so uncomfortable even on my right foot that they had to be returned. Now they don’t have my size. But remember climbing is supposed to be fun, and so even tho the fit should be tight you’re not supposed to be killing yourself

This is my first pair of climbing shoes. I have narrower feet and I'm usually a 6-6.5 in street shoes. I ordered a 6 and they're great. Painful the first 5 wears but now I can wear them for 2 hours before I want to take them off. I love these so much I'd consider getting a second pair when these get too beat up. Doesn't hurt that they actually look good too.

It had been six years since the last time I climbed when i decided to jump in again this past fall. This shoe has been great for bouldering in my local gym as well as venturing out for some top rope outdoors. Great flex in the sole. Comfortable (for a climbing shoe), breathable and seems to be wearing well.

I demo'd these a few times bouldering and top roping in the gym. I'm a beginner climber and really liked the non aggressive fit. I wear a 6.5 in street shoe size and demoed that size but found they were slightly too big which gave me a blister on my big toe.. I would go a half size down if I bought these. Overall they were very comfortable, I love the lace up closure for a perfect fit, and felt like they allowed me to edge really well because they fit snug against my feet.

These are great shoes! I'm a beginner climber and I used these for my climbing class and I love them! Super comfortable! These do run a bit small though, I usually wear a size 6.5 in climbing shoes but I tried the size 7 in these and they were really tight. I tried a size 8 and they were way better and fit perfectly.

Getting back into gym climbing, these shoes rock! I wear a 6.5 street shoe size and I got a 7.5 in these. I have narrow feet and these were great with no bunching. I really like these shoes for getting back into bouldering.

I’ve only been climbing 3 months, but I highly recommend these. I got them a half-size larger per my gym’s recommendation and they're a good fit. Still preetty tight but certainly not unbearable, after climbing awhile they kinda form around your foot. Laces help with that too, only negative is the laces are a bit too long. But such an improvement from the rental, my climbing has gotten so much better. And they’re sharp as hell, I’ve gotten several compliments and people asking what shoes these were! If you’re a beginner wanting laces, this is it.
