This all-around high performance shoe from Evolv and Chris Sharma fuses precision, power, and responsiveness in an excellent glove-like fit. The heel cup fits securely from base of the foot to the achilles without discomfort and deadspace. It is equipped with an extended toe rand that is functional for toe-hooking without feeling excessive and the tri-grooves relieve pressure off the big toe. The 3/4 length semi stiff midsole provides the ideal balance of edging power and responsiveness from toe through the arch.

Based on Chris' climbing expertise and design ideas, Evolv created this shoe for him which he used to send his project "Es Pontas", his deep-water solo project route in Mallorca, Spain. It is a wildly overhanging route that is 65 ft long and includes a challenging, 7-foot dyno that is 35 feet above the sea and ends with a powerful and technical finish.

"TRAX rubber has the perfect blend of stickiness and durability for extreme climbing of all types. Whether I am on a granite slab or on an overhanging limestone sport route, I have total confidence in every foot placement with TRAX rubber." Chris Sharma
