Description
Performance climbing shoe that enables quick progression on any terrain.
The V6 is made for climbers who want to become experts quickly on any terrain. Its adjustable single strap closure ensures easy adjustment and paired with an easy entry split tongue allows climbers to transition between climbs comfortably and quickly. The downturned toe provides precision on steep small holds. It features a large toe patch to provide secure and stable toe hooking. The tensioned heel rand creates a locked in feel for maximum security and precision while heel hooking. Smearing is easy with the even flex of the full-length outsole.

A shoe for the many, not the few. The V6 is a superb example of the recent strides Evolv have taken with their shoe design, creating a shoe in the V6 that does the impossible - fit, suit and support pretty much everyone. It really is a shoe that can do it all. Sized appropriately, the V6 is so versatile it could be anything from a sturdy, comfortable all day trad shoe right through to a high performing, outdoor bouldering shoe. The only thing you’ve got to decide is, what are you going to use it for?
True to its name, I felt the Evolv V6 was an excellent shoe for taking a boulderer and sport climber from post-beginner to near-advanced status. If I had to put bouldering grades on it, I would say the shoe caters to climbers roughly in the V3 to, you guessed it, V6 range. The shoe has moderate levels of all the main attributes: softness and sensitivity, support and power. It is well-versed in heel and toe hooking and has enough outsole thickness to last through the intermediate learning curve. The fit might be perfect if you have a narrow heel and a wide forefoot. And the two available volumes make it even more likely that you will get that second-skin feel.
