The crown jewel of Chris Sharma's Evolv signature range, the Evolv Shaman is designed for high-end bouldering and sport climbing, boasting legendary performance and a tick list that is the envy of the climbing shoe world. The same tip-top performance of the Evolv Shaman but now with the bespoke fit and customization of a lace-up closure, the Evolv Shaman Lace-Up, is an excellent choice for steep sport climbing and bouldering.
The new Evolv Shaman builds from the success of the original Sharma signature model, with an all-round fit that has been improved specifically in the heel and arch, both of which have been redesigned. The addition of more rubber on the toe makes for more secure toe hooks.
