Product description
Precision, flexibility and maximum sensitivity when climbing
The Zenist 2026 from Evolv are high-performance climbing shoes for competitions and intensive training. Aimed at climbers who are looking for a particularly sensitive, soft and flexible model, these shoes are ideal for smearing, toe hooks, heel hooks and precisely coordinated movements at a high level. Their vegan material construction and finely-tuned rubber components make them a versatile performance tool for demanding bouldering, indoor climbing and sport climbing.
In addition, the sensitive upper construction with 1.2 mm EVO 74 rubber on the toe and 3 mm SAS rubber on the heel, plus a flexible FLX rubber rand at the back and front ensure that hooks sit securely and can be placed with precision - even in complex competition situations.
Light, vegan and performance-orientated
With a weight of 200g per shoe, the Zenist 2026 are pleasantly light. The upper material consists of a flexible, sock-like construction that encloses your foot tightly without creating pressure points. Meanwhile, the shoes are also completely vegan. Last but not least, the strap fastening enables quick adjustment and a secure fit.
Key benefits:
- Extremely sensitive, soft climbing shoes

- Offers maximum flexibility for dynamic movement
- With FLX rubber edge at the back and front
