Evolv Men's Pontas Climbing Shoe Review

If I had to only climb in one shoe, this would be it.Great on technical face or slab, yet the pointy somewhat stiff big toe digs into pockets and little foot chips on overhanging terrain.These shoes are a great value, very durable, and super comfy - an all around performer suited for the intermediate or expert alike.

Serious climbers need serious shoes, and Evolv has answered the call with this high-performance shoe. The synthetic upper is perforated for breathability and non-stretch for a consistent fit. The toe rand has even been extended for optimal hooking. You may be concerned about an upcoming climb, but you no longer have to be concerned about your shoe.

Relatively comfortable for a climbing shoe, these are just terrific. On my foot the soles have a good seat against my foot, no slipping at all on my feet or on the wall. Sizing on climbing shoes are wierd, so its good to try some one before you buy, as climbing shoe size are significantly smaller than regular shoe size.

Mad Rock Men's Demon Downturned Velcro Shoe Review

Mad Rock Men's Demon Downturned Velcro Shoe

These have a similar fit to the Con-Flict. Severely downturned shape for vertical to overhanging routes.The upper is synthetic with a cool hemp lining instead of the unlined leather on the Con-Flict. Others have reported the lining greatly reduces odor that develops in other synthetic shoes. The upper material is thin and stretchy and I found it molded to my foot quite well. I'm a little concerned, that the thin material might not last very long, but it gave the shoe a light and glove-like fit.The straps too are flimsy so any full foot hooks will probably destroy them.Toe hooks though should be great with the front toe rubber.

That being said the shape is really tight and severely downturned. Street shoe size was very tight and half a size down was about as tight as I could stand. Again like the Con-Flict these fit differently than other climbing shoes I've tried. In street shoe size, my toes weren't curled together at all but instead bent downward with the shape of the shoe. The heel is more relaxed than the Con-Flict which fit me better. But again, with radically downturned shoes like this, you really need to try them to see if they work with your individual feet so I don't recommend buying them online unless you've tried this or the ConFlict before.

At a price that's a fraction of other ultra high performance shoes, I give these 4.5 stars.

I really like this shoe.It is super sensitive and comfortable.I use it mainly to warm up before I get on overhanging projects.If you are going to be doing a lot of continuous climbing this shoe is great because you don't have to take it off as often as a downturned shoe.

This shoe was very cool and was designed for advanced technical climbing, but was so painful I had to return it. I've been climbing for several years and can do routes in the 5.10 - 5.11 range so my feet were not rookies to rock climbing shoes. It might work for you, but try it on before you buy it!!

Now I know why all the pros wear the Solution: its awesome. Edging, smearing, toe & heel-hooking, this shoe does it all.

What sets it apart from all my other climbing shoes is the slight upward bulge in the last between the toes & ball of your foot. It gives you something to lock your toes on & really adds power & stability to your footwork.

Sizing is fine, as is comfort. Havent had em long enough to test durability yet. Looking forward to it. These are my number one climbing shoe now. Thanks LaSportiva!

FiveTen Men's Gambit Climbing Shoe Review

FiveTen Men's Gambit Climbing Shoe
Average Reviews:

I had rented leather beginner shoes for a couple of clinics and wanted my own pair for a 2-day foundations class. I chose Gambits, even though they're not as comfortable as the 'rounder' beginner shoes, because I wanted something that I could grow into as my climbing progressed.

I wore them around the house a couple of hours at a time for two weeks to grow a few extra layers of skin, as the seam of the top mesh and rand fall across the top of my toes and felt like it was digging into my flesh. I was initially worried I bought the wrong size style for me, but when it came time to get on the rock I knew I made the right choice.

The toe box felt much more comfortable latching into micro edges or smearing dimples than the rentals & I could feel the rock under my feet.

Come the 2nd day of class, the top seam faded away & I was smearing and edging with the best of them. I encountered a few "opportunities" to latch a hold with just my big toe, which is a bit painful for my newbie feet, but a very cool option to have when climbing an otherwise featureless face route.

If you're new to climbing & want absolute comfort from day one then pick a different shoe, but if you're willing to take the time and make the effort then go for a shoe that you'll outwear before you outgrow.
