Evolv: Pontas Rock Climbing Shoes - Altrec.com Product Description:

Based on Chris Sharma's climbing expertise and design ideas, the Evolv Pontas Rock Climbing Shoe was developed.

The heel fits securely from base of the heel to the achilles without discomfort and deadspace.

Equipped with an extended toe rand that is functional for toe-hooking without feeling excessive and the tri-grooves relieves pressure off the big toe, the Pontas has a 3/4 length semi stiff midsole providing the ideal balance of edging power and responsiveness from toe through the arch.

Asymmetrical toe profile (KA-1 last)
4.2 mm TRAX® XT-5 high friction rubber sole
2.2mm TRAX® duro-rand

These shoes rock! I have been climbing in the Pontas for the last three months, in the gym and outside and am super impressed by the fit and the rubber. Evolv seem to have nailed the fit with the synthetic, as these don't stretch so I didn't need to size them smaller and work through the pain. I would highly recomend these!

Not too shabby For the price, these things are awesome. The rubber seems really sticky so far, and the fit is fairly okay. When I'm not climbing I notice a lot of pressure on the joint on my big toe because of the toe rand. Also, I have pretty wide feet and these felt narrow when I pulled 'em on, but once I started climbing I stopped noticing all the fit issues. They're pretty good to wear for a few laps, but I wouldn't recommend them for all day climbing or belaying much. I certainly recommend them for sport climbing, but not necessarily for all day adventures when comfort is key.
