[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had a few pairs of this shoe for a couple years now and it's the perfect climbing shoe. This model is also an upgrade from the 2018 version. They are technical and a tiny bit aggressive, but still softish. The best part is the closure system. The length of the strap is adjustable, which is amazing because the shoes do stretch a tiny bit as you break them in and they mold to your feet. And even after breaking them in, they'll be tighter when they're fully dry and looser when wet from sweat. Being able to adjust the length of the strap is critical and means that I can always have a perfect fit. Speaking of fit, I have narrow, low volume feet and these are one of few shoes that fit me well. (If you have higher volume feet, check out the men's version, Kronos). And they are very comfortable for climbing shoes. The only weird thing about these shoes is the history of the sizing. I had the 2018 model (which was also great) in a size 8, but a size 6 in these fits exactly the same. I'm not sure why they changed their sizing. My normal street shoe size is 7.5ish. Overall, these shoes are my absolute favorite and I hope they never get discontinued because they are my forever climbing shoe--- I buy a pair whenever I can get a deal. I wish Evolv made a more aggressive version of the same shoe!
