Evolv - Zenist - Climbing shoes

High-performance bouldering shoes for challenging problems

The Zenist from Evolv are perfect for modern bouldering. Wherever balance, coordination and friction are important, these bouldering shoes are the right choice. As a result, they are ideal for those who already dare to tackle the most challenging bouldering problems in the hall. The fit is neither too wide nor too tight, making them ideal for regular sized feet.

Aggressive downturn and high sensitivity

The Zenist are characterised by a very aggressive downturn and moderate asymmetry. In addition, they also feature a 3.5 mm thin, two-part sole construction, which makes them relatively soft and flexible. This makes the shoes particularly suitable for significantly overhanging walls such as on fingerboards or for smearing, as required for many modern bouldering problems. Plus, the moderate pre-tensioning makes it easier to perform heel hooks, thereby improving your abilities in overhangs.

If you want to tackle the most spectacular problems in indoor bouldering, the Zenist are the perfect choice!

• Max Performance: this is your street shoe size. This fit is designed for the best possible performance, perfect for pushing your limits. You will need to break in the shoes.
• Performance Fit: if you prefer a snug fit that is comfortable to wear from the start, add half a size to your street shoe.
• Comfort Fit: if you prefer a comfortable fit for multi-pitch climbing or if you're a beginner, then add 1 to 1.5 sizes to your street shoe.
