Most comfortable shoe
They're one of a kind. Its really rare to have such an aggressive downturned shoe ge this comfortable. I owned te previous generation of the shoes and they were awesome. After that I had the scarpa instinct and la sportiva solution. Those felt like murder on your feet. I wear a street shoe size USM 8.5 or 8. I ordered a USM9. The second I put them on, my feet felt like they were home again. They're awesome for edging on tiny holds. For someone that climbs every other day, these are a game changer.

Absolutely amazing, especially for people with an especially wide toe box!
These shoes are amazing, I ordered them 1/2 size up where as my other two pairs of Evolv shoes (Kronos and Zenist) are 1 size up and when I first put them on I thought I made a big mistake in getting them in size 11 instead of 11.5 like my other two pair but I'm so glad I kept them. After a few days of wear (not even at the gym yet, I've found just sitting at the computer helps so much to break in new shoes less painfully) they started to mold to my foot and now I understand exactly what people mean when they say that, it's actually incredible, if you look inside it looks like a big mold of my foot as if the shoes were designed for me.If you have an incredibly wide toe box like I do and struggle to find aggressive shoes that don't hurt your feet so bad you can't even function with them on give the Shaman's a shot. I expected to only like them on overhangs but I was surprised to find them perfectly acceptable on vert and slab as well, they really are a great all around shoe (though as some have mentioned smearing are really the only thing they don't feel really good with but even then they're fine, just obviously not the best). The love bump is an especially nice feature, it definitely helps keep power through the toes with less discomfort. I hope Evolv never stops making these shoes because Chris Sharma's design is incredible and I never want to stop being able to wear them, no joke. Even with things like smearing not being the best with this shoe, the fact that it actually works well for my weird foot shape makes these easily the best climbing shoes I've ever worn.

nearly perfect
The only thing I didn't like was an excess amount of space in the heels however I do have skinny heels so it may not apply for everyone. Probably gonna go for the laced version next time for the similar reasons. If you have Morton's toe be ready for a big ole callous on that toe tho. I recommend corn removal stuff you can get over the counter at most pharmacies

Do not down size!
These shoes have been great. They are very aggressive fit. I purchased in August and have lasted about 4 months of climbing, 4 times a week. I normally wear a size 11 and down sized to a 10.5. It took about two months with a lot of pain at toe box for the shoes to fit. Do not down size! I've used for indoor and outdoor rock climbing and wear them walking around the gym (i don't take them off between climbs) Overall my favorite climbing shoes I've owned so far.Fyi: My gym I climb at is new and also the walls are textured with almost like fine sandpaper. So you might get more time out of your shoes then I did.
