Order a size larger than you think you'll need
I understand that rock climbing shoes fit smaller and that they are supposed to be snug and slightly uncomfortable. I even read in other reviews for Evolv shoes to go up one size. I am normally a size 7 and got an 8. They were so small I actually couldn't even fit my foot in the shoe. Returned and got a 9 and now they fit to the expected "snug" that they should be for rock climbing. Pictured here is the size 8 next to my size 7 work shoe. Other than the sizing, I love this shoe and it's worth the money.

great shoe
Fit perfectly for my daughter. she typically wears a size 7 street shoe. Bought this as a 6.5. Snug fit, but is breaking in nicely. Holds well on indoor walls. Have not tried outdoors yet.

Synthetic neutral shoe
Just tried these one and a few things to note - the shoe is made out of vegan leather so less stretch than other leather shoes I’ve hadBased on the image I was expecting a slightly more aggressive shoe but it’s pretty neutral. Also the Velcro closure is nice but left a small part of the top of my foot exposed which was really weirdWill be returning

No pain
I tried on every shoe at REI and at the climbing center. This one fit perfectly, comfortably and I have no blisters.

Size up!
I am a beginner climber (indoor bouldering gym, never done outdoors) and wanted shoes that would help me with smaller toe holds to progress in my climbs. I go about 3x per week, I’ve had these for a couple of months, and I would say they’re pretty perfect beginner shoes! I am a true womens’ size 6, but I definitely would recommend sizing up at least half a size as even after they’ve been broken in, the stretch is still minimal. Nonetheless, I will continue wearing these until I wear them down and will purchase a half-size up if I purchase Evolv shoes again in the future.

Great climbing shoe. Size up 2 Times!
Pictured is a woman’s size 7 slip on and size 9 Evolve.These are great climbing shoes. Not super aggressive but not super mild. My wife and daughter both wear these for indoor climbing. They are just intermediate climbers and do it for fun. I recommend size up twice.My wife wears a size 7 in shoes, but size 9 for the Evolve. Same with daughter. Size 5 in shoe, size 7 in Evolve. If you get the right size I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
