Evolv Zenist

High-performance bouldering shoes for challenging problems. The Zenist by Evolv are perfect for new-school bouldering. Wherever balance, coordination, and friction are crucial, these bouldering shoes are just right. They are ideal for anyone who is already tackling the most demanding boulder problems in the gym. The fit is neither too loose nor too tight, making them perfect for average-sized feet.

Aggressive downturn and high sensitivity. The Zenist features a very aggressive downturn and moderate asymmetry. They also have a 3.5 mm thin, two-part sole construction that makes the shoe relatively soft and flexible. This makes them particularly well-suited for steep overhangs like training boards or for standing on friction, as is often required in many modern boulder problems. The moderate camber facilitates heel hooking, further enhancing the shoes' performance on overhangs. If you're looking to tackle the most spectacular problems in indoor bouldering, the Zenist will meet your expectations!

Performance Fit: If you prefer a snug fit and want your shoes to be more comfortable from the start, add half a size compared to your street shoe.

Comfort Fit: If you prioritize comfort for multi-pitch routes or are a beginner climber, add one to one and a half sizes to your street shoe.
