Evolv Bandit Climbing Shoe



Excellent all-around shoe
The Bandit is an excellent all-around shoe. The Trax rubber is at least as good, if not better than 5.10 Stealth. Sized the same as your street shoe, the shoe is tight with toes curled, but not painful. I would go 1/2 size up for all day wear, but I can climb 2-3 pitches easily without needed to take the shoes off. Very well made; my year-old shoes are showing no abnormal degradation despite heavy use. The semi-stiff sole has a great balance between edging ability and smearing performance. I only have two gripes. 1) A slight dead space in the heel detracts from heel-hooking, but that's not what they're designed for. 2) they are relatively stiff and thus are ideal for very steep climbing, although they are not bad. Anything less than 45 degrees overhanging is just fine though.
