The Evolv Zenist is an aggressively profiled and downturned climbing shoe designed to hold its own on delicate foot placements and tiny footholds, perfect for advanced climbers or ambitious boulderers looking to go to the next level. The Zenist is an unlined climbing shoe with enough stretch to seamlessly mould to your feet after just a few climbs.
Constructed with an unlined and vegan-friendly synthetic upper, the Zenist has been designed with plenty of room to stretch, allowing long-lasting comfort once they are broken in. The Zenist is covered in Evolvs TRAX® SAS rubber for high and aggressive toe hooks while the split sole has 4.2mm SAS rubber for the perfect balance of friction and durability.
The shoe features a single hook and loop that combines the precision tightening of laces with the ease of a strap closure. The aggressively profiled last ensures your foot is always in a power position and prevents too much stretch over time and the Variable Thickness Rand (VTR) reduces pressure points across the foot.
The Evolv Zenist climbing shoe has a soft and tensioned rubber midsole that helps maintain the shape of the shoe while balancing rigidity and sensitivity. This style and fit establish the Zenist as a high-performance shoe, perfect for competition climbers or those looking to move through the high grades and crush boulders.
