EVOLV Kronos Climbing Shoes

I’m fairly new to climbing, confidently doing v2 boulders and 5.9s on top rope. I ordered 5 climbing shoes in hopes that one of them would be a keeper, and these were the winners. They are a great shoe for beginners and provide a nice introduction to climbing footwear. They’re about as comfortable as a climbing shoe can get while still being effective. They’re not aggressive, not much downward curve if any. I am a street size 13, ordered these in a 13.5 and they’re snug without wiggle room BUT not too tight where it’s extremely uncomfortable. They’re sturdy on footholds and have nice grip. I notice a significant improvement in these compared to rental shoes. A little pricey so I’m hoping they last a while.For sizing I’d recommend going +0.5 your street size for a comfortably snug fit. +0 may feel very tight, but I can tell these will break in and loosen up after a few sessions so same size as street shoes could be what you want but expect them to be very tight.

I had to return the first pair I ordered because they are a little small. It took a little longer than expected to receive the refund for the first pair, but when it came I ordered a second pair. My son is just getting into rock climbing, and loves these. Great quality and works good.

I bought this shoe when i first started climbing and it was perfect. Like all other climbing shoes it starts off super stiff but this one specifically breaks in pretty fast. I have a relatively flat sole on my foot and would recommend this shoe to those who have the same.

This is an excellent all around shoe. The shoe is somewhat stretchy, which makes them very comfortable. Sizing is key though, must be tight enough. The toe is not very aggressive, but it’s very tactile, so I trust my foot placement. Maybe this means the rubber is thin, and I may wear these out quickly, but it’s worth it for the precision.I have an aggressive pair of shoes for bouldering, but these perform so well, that I almost always stick with these and enjoy the comfort.

Love the quality of the shoe and the straps but buy them big. I had to return and buy again a full size larger.

Wonderful shoe for someone just starting out you can expect this shoe to perform well on slabs and other vertical terrain however it is not an aggressive shoe so overhangs and steeper climbs performance will suffer slightly but all and all wonderful shoe comfortable great fit and outstanding rubber!

Great all around shoe!I used to have to go down almost a 1 / 1.5 size in my climbing shoes, these were the first shoes that fit right, meaning close to my street shoe size (don't go down more then half of your street shoe size they will be too tight).Also not sure if my climbing footwork has improved dramatically but these lasted almost a year with bi-weekly gym use. Making them the longest lasting climbing shoe I have ever owned.My previous favorite climbing shoe was the Evolv Pontas I, these are a good replacement.

Good material but way too small, I'm a size 8.5, their shoe doesn't fit, might have to order a 10.5

I've had several pairs - awesome.
