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.
