Evolv General

The General is built on the same last as the Evolv Supra—a classicly, if not overly aggressive, downturned shoe that excels in technical face climbing. The shape already puts The General in fairly unusual territory for a high-top trad shoe. But the slight camber, combined with a super-stiff sole, works wonders. Aiding edging is the shoe’s slingshot-style heel rand, which wraps all the way around your foot and helps power up your toes. The General edges phenomenally, and the firmness through the sole made standing on dime edges in the Black Canyon for an entire day a non-issue.
