Evolv Zenist Climbing Shoes - Grey/Black

The Evolv Zenist is a high-performance climbing shoe designed for bouldering, sport climbing, and competition. Featuring a highly downturned and asymmetrical profile, it delivers exceptional precision on steep terrain and small edges. The single hook-and-loop strap closure ensures a quick and secure fit, while the soft, sensitive construction allows for maximum feedback from the rock.

Advantages

The TRAX SAS rubber outsole provides outstanding grip on various surfaces, and the 4.2mm sole thickness balances durability with sensitivity. The unlined Synthratek VX synthetic upper reduces stretch and maintains shape over time.
