nice climbing shoe
The evolv Bandit is a verry nice all rounder.This is the second pair I bought.positive:-VERRY sticky rubber-laces-nice fit, I can waer the almost all day long.-works fine for heel hooks-good for sportclimbing in and outdoornegative:-smell-I created holes at the big toes quit fast-expensive (in Belgium, they are the same price as the Miura's -> 140$)-and the smell again... :)so, overall I really like this shoe, but try to do something against the smell from the beginning. I filled old socks with lavenders and it worked fine for me.Still, if I not had the opportunity to let them come from the USA with a friend for free, I would have bought the Miura's (La sportiva).

First pair
Been climbing for almost a year now and invested in this pair 5 months ago, so this is my first pair of shoes. I've broken them in very well and they're as comfortable as rock climbing shoes could be, which is very limited. My street size is 9 and I sized down to 8.5 and fit well after the break in period. My only complaint is that whenever I try to heel hook, the heel starts sliding off. Almost threatening to slide off my feet.

... used these on two climbing outings and they work great. The soles are super sticky
So far I've used these on two climbing outings and they work great. The soles are super sticky, turning even small indentions into foot holds. I did get my normal shoe size and they do fit tight, like really tight. They suck to do any kind of walking in but they're slowly breaking in and let's face it, they're climbing shoes not loafers. Personally I take them off as soon as I'm done climbing the route. If you're worried about comfort I'd get a half size bigger, since my toes are super cramped, but again they're climbing shoes so they're going to be tight.

This shoe was great except it was just too small and uncomfortable for me. I just couldn't use them to expand them a bit. I am a size 9 in street shoes and ended up going with size 8.5. I was going size up to a size 9 but prices went up so I ended up getting another shoe.

Great all around shoes
Great all around shoes. Order at least a half size up from you street shoe, I recommend a full size to size and a half. Trust me, do it, you won't want to wear these at or below your street shoe size. They edge amazingly and have one of the best heels of any shoe I've used. They will not stretch but the sole will soften up a bit as they break in making them good for smearing once broken in.

know your sizing
too small tho really like size up at least a full size if not a size and a half. I know what a good climbing shoe feels like and the camber of the shoe doesn't merit that tight of a toe.

I will update this once I get the right size. So I am a 8.5 in women's and a 39 in Europe. I got the equivalent of a 39 and was way too small so I've just ordered a 8.5 hopefully it works

Roomy toe box / med. stiff shoe
I consider this every bit the shoe as compared to the lace-up La Sportiva Miura (I owned 2 pairs)and with a larger toe box. I have Morton's toe and like how these fit.After a year of trying about 15 pairs of shoes I realized I liked a stiffer sole - this has it. The speed laces tie up as fast as a Velcro shoe.Evolv shoes are notorious for smelling with use, so I'm airing them out and also using charcoal. Working so far.
