... built like tanks and $35 less expensive than TC Pros. If you don't mind suffering through the long break in period, you'll be rewarded with a very durable shoe that resoles well... We'll keep climbing in the Alturas, since the more they break in and the better they feel, becoming more precise over time as they soften up. View more
... it was exactly my style of climbing. Overhanging on little crimps and no dynos. At the beginning until nearly the end of the route I didn't believe that I can do it, but two quickdraws before the top I had a little bit of hope, because I knew that I am already quite high. View more
It is pointy with a high level of asymmetry (the shoe really emphasizes your big toe) meaning the toes can easily be placed precisely into pockets or onto small edges. All this combined with a down-turned toe means that you can grab edges and pockets with your toes and generate more force through them on steep ground. View more
Right out of the box I loved the way the Shakra fit. The shoe’s design positions your toes for high performance without the pain of having to downsize. A pronounced bump curved up under my toes filled dead space and gave me a secure fit, while the Knuckle Box created space for my big toe to bend. The Evolv Shakra is a moderately downturned, asymmetric shoe delivering both performance and comfort. View more

It is one of the rare examples of a shoe that you could boulder in (both indoors and out), redpoint your hardest sport climb in, or head out for a day's trad mileage in. It can - and does - do everything very well. View more
From crack climbing to steep pockets, the Skwamas will keep you on your toes. Where they fall short is in precision edging and slabs... The Skwama holds the foot in an aggressive shape, without crunching toes or cutting into heels. On technical cracks, smeary feet, and pockets, the La Sportiva Skwamas really shine. Since they are so comfortable and easy to put on and take off, they also make for a great cragging shoe and bouldering shoe. View more

The Butora Narsha kills it in the edging game and easily earned the best edging score of the test category. The stiff 4 mm thick Neo Force rubber combined with a full, rigid, injection molded midsole, and precise fit allows confidently loading micro edges, especially on slightly overhanging sport routes and boulders.
