Your cart is empty.The Evolv Kronos Climbing Shoe is an intermediary-friendly option for climbers wanting to advance from their beginner shoes and learn what the vertical world is all about. The Kronos has a slight camber design with a downturned toe that assists when you take on steeper sport routes and boulder problems, and it stays comfortable enough for tackling long slab routes as well (PSR 4). A synthetic upper keeps the shoe from stretching much and the dual-strap closure system ensures a snug fit for the life of the shoe. The TRAX SAS sole is our stickiest rubber compound to date.

Love the quality of the shoe and the straps but buy them big. I had to return and buy again a full size larger.

I have a hole in the rand/front of BOTH shoes after 3 months of climbing pretty consistently.

I had to return the first pair I ordered because they are a little small. It took a little longer than expected to receive the refund for the first pair, but when it came I ordered a second pair. My son is just getting into rock climbing, and loves these. Great quality and works good.

These seem like nice shoes. They're slightly more aggressive than my current shoes. They seem to be well constructed. But unfortunately, I can't give a performance review since they're WAY too small. I could probably live with overall length, even though it forces my big toe to curl downward a bit. But the rubber toe cap is so strong that it creates far too much pressure on the top of my toe when I put any weight on it. It's quite painful.My street shoes are all13US/47EU. My current climbing shoes are size 48 and have now stretched a bit to the point where they're too big to apply full toe pressure on tiny chips.I've gone through about 10 different pairs trying (so far, unsuccessfully) to find the perfect fit. Unfortunately, these do not come in the size I need.

I’m fairly new to climbing, confidently doing v2 boulders and 5.9s on top rope. I ordered 5 climbing shoes in hopes that one of them would be a keeper, and these were the winners. They are a great shoe for beginners and provide a nice introduction to climbing footwear. They’re about as comfortable as a climbing shoe can get while still being effective. They’re not aggressive, not much downward curve if any. I am a street size 13, ordered these in a 13.5 and they’re snug without wiggle room BUT not too tight where it’s extremely uncomfortable. They’re sturdy on footholds and have nice grip. I notice a significant improvement in these compared to rental shoes. A little pricey so I’m hoping they last a while.For sizing I’d recommend going +0.5 your street size for a comfortably snug fit. +0 may feel very tight, but I can tell these will break in and loosen up after a few sessions so same size as street shoes could be what you want but expect them to be very tight.

Still quite a new climber, about a year or so. Tried about 4 shoes, before this pair. Very comfortable for long sport climbing days. The edging was surprisingly great.

This is an excellent all around shoe. The shoe is somewhat stretchy, which makes them very comfortable. Sizing is key though, must be tight enough. The toe is not very aggressive, but it’s very tactile, so I trust my foot placement. Maybe this means the rubber is thin, and I may wear these out quickly, but it’s worth it for the precision.I have an aggressive pair of shoes for bouldering, but these perform so well, that I almost always stick with these and enjoy the comfort.

Wonderful shoe for someone just starting out you can expect this shoe to perform well on slabs and other vertical terrain however it is not an aggressive shoe so overhangs and steeper climbs performance will suffer slightly but all and all wonderful shoe comfortable great fit and outstanding rubber!
