Evolv Venga Review

As far as all around kids climbing shoes go, the Evolv Venga takes the cake. It's a comfortable, flat, slightly asymmetric shoe that has great sensitivity, edging, and crack climbing performance. At $50 we have no complaints at all. This shoe was a contender for best buy because of the value, but because it performed so well well and is so durable, we gave it the Editors' Choice award. In this case, Editors' Choice doesn't necessarily represent the highest performance in our test group, because the La Sportiva Maverinkand Evolv Ashima are in a different category. But it's nice to know that if these shoes start limiting performance on hard technical edges, overhanging routes or boulders, there are more performance-driven shoes available.
