This attractive climbing shoe offers a great balance between comfort and performance. The toe turns down slightly, offering a technical advantage, but the inside of the shoe is lightly padded and does not gouge the toe knuckle or top of the foot when working through precise footwork sequences. It is highly and easily adjustable and has two tug straps for easy foot entry. The mesh upper is more breathable than a lot of climbing footwear, and it’s lined with smooth fabric so feet don’t get irritated from all-day wear. The synthetic uppers make the shoe a great choice for vegan climbers. The sizing trends small, and climbers may want to order a half or full size up. MSRP: $130 (available at $65 clearance pricing online). Evolvsports.com
