Not Adjustable

Avid Climber
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I compared the stickiness of the rubber against best La Sportiavas and Scarpas and it was way superior. On par with good 5-10-s.

The toe box is roomy. Overall size is unusual for a climbing shoe -- I went with my street size.

Uncomfortable
Best Uses:
Bouldering, Indoor, Outdoor, Sprint Climbs
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

These are great shoes for someone who wants to do some technical climbing. The only reason I put them as uncomfortable is because I wear them a full size smaller than my street size. It gives me better footholds when I need to jam my toes in somewhere. Pretty durable shoe, lightwieght and snug with the velcro straps.

When i was looking for a high performance shoe i was dead set on getting the five ten gallileo or anasazi. I read all the reviews and just couldnt wait to get a pair, but there was just one problem they did not fit my foot. Then i tried the evolv pontas, and what a difference this is the first high performnce shoe that i have ever tried that performs great and is just as comfortable as an all day shoe. The bottom line is that The Evolv Pontas far exceeded my expectations.
