The Evolv Shaman Pro is a super sensitive, high-performance climbing shoe, offering a new level of comfort on steep boulder problems and sport routes thanks to a host of changes from the original Shaman model.
Evolv Size Suggestion:
Max Performance: use your street shoe size for an ultra-snug fit.
Performance Fit: add a ½ size to your street shoe for a snug fit that is still comfortable to wear for a full session.
Comfort Fit: add 1 to 1.5 sizes to your street shoe.
The Shaman Pro is an entirely new climbing shoe concept, introducing Evolv’s new 'Evo Wrap' technology which utilises a thin rubber midsole that runs the length of the shoe to hold the foot securely around the instep, eliminating the need to painfully downsize and pressure your toes into the front of the shoe. This isn't to say the Shaman Pro is down on power, quite the opposite. As downturned and aggressive as ever, this softer, more sensitive incarnation of the fan favourite Shaman has been tweaked to suit more indoor focussed climbers who need ultimate sensitivity through every foot placement.
Packed full of classic Evolv tech like the 'love bump' (a thin bit of midsole under the toe box), Trax SAS rubber and the all vegan Synthratex upper, there's plenty about the Pro to satisfy even the most die hard Evolv fan. But, as part of the Pro package, we do see some changes/ upgrades. Most notably in the new Evo Wrap midsole technology which works alongside the new, adjustable ratchet style strap to hug the foot rather than squeeze it into place. As well as Evo Wrap, the tongue of the Shaman has been swapped out for an all encompassing sock which seamlessly holds your foot in place right out of the box.
The Shaman Pro has a slightly softer midsole than the Shaman Velcro and even more so than the Lace, allowing for more flex whilst smearing and hooking, making it the perfect choice for dynamic competition boulder problems.
Sizing
The Pro version of the Shaman should fit just like the original strap and lace versions of the shoe.
