EVOLV SIZING


If the shoe fits, wear it.

At Evolv, we recognize that finding the right-sized climbing shoe is hard. Everyone’s feet are unique and different. Getting the right size and shape that best fits your foot is a complicated process.

To help identify your size, Evolv has categorized options into three groups based on your objectives: Max Performance, Performance, and Comfort.

Max Performance: This is your street shoe size. This is an ultra-snug fit. This is how the shoe was designed to deliver the maximum possible performance. It's perfect for pushing your limits and will require a break in period.

Performance Fit: If you prefer a snug fit that is still comfortable to wear out of the box for a full session, add a half (½) compared to your street shoe.

Comfort Fit: If your priority is a comfortable fit for multipitch climbs and for climbers just starting out in the sport, add 1 to 1.5 sizes to your street shoe.

All Evolv shoes come in Medium Volume and Low Volume options. Low Volume shoes have 6% less volume than Medium Volume shoes. Most climbers can wear both volumes. If you have a lower volume foot or are looking for the absolute maximum performance out of the shoe, the Low Volume option is your ideal choice. If you have a higher volume foot, or want an all session fit, the Medium is your ideal choice.

Remember, climbing shoes are meant to be snug. Excessive dead space inside the shoe can result in the foot slipping inside the shoe. Expect a break-in period as your foot and the shoe adapt to each other.

If you need to convert to another unit of measure, just refer to our size charts below. If you feel like you are in between sizes and cannot get to a location to try them on, you can always order a few pairs. RETURNS are easy to execute & free.

 At Evolv, we recognize that finding the right-sized climbing shoe is hard. Everyone’s feet are unique and different. Getting the right size and shape that best fits your foot is a complicated process.

 
Evolv sizing uses three categories of fit:  Max Performance, Performance, and Comfort.
 
Max Performance: Choose street shoe size. Ultra-snug fit to deliver the maximum possible performance.
 
Performance Fit: Choose street shoe size and add .5 to 1.0 size. Snug fit for longer sessions.
 
Comfort Fit: Choose street shoe size and add 1.0 to 1.5 sizes. Comfortable fit for multi-pitch or entry-level.
 
All Evolv shoes come in Medium Volume and Low Volume options.
 
Medium Volume: Designed for a performance fit and average volume foot shapes.
 
Low Volume: Designed for a maximum performance fit and lower volume foot shapes.
 
Remember, climbing shoes are meant to be snug. Excessive dead space inside the shoe can result in the foot slipping inside the shoe. Expect a break-in period as your foot and the shoe adapt to each other.

 

VOLUME
 
All Evolv shoes come in a Medium Volume and Low Volume option for one reason: to get everyone in the best fitting shoe for them. Overall, our LV shoes have 6% less volume than the MV. So, if you know you have a lower volume foot, if your climbing shoes are a bit too spacious, or if you want a more performance fit for your projects, the LV may be your next go-to shoe.
