OK, the Predator kicks butt, but the Talons kicks butt, tail, heads, arms, you get the idea. These shoes are by far the most technical, precise, comfy, good looking shoe in my arsenal. The Talons come with a synthetic liner that I just can't live without, no break in period. The Trax rubber sticks to absolutely anything I put them on, even the heal. They deepened the heal cup which I really enjoy. The G2 seems to be a better all around fit. They thinned the rubber on the toe rand, which made for a much more sensitive toe hooking spot. All around, Evolv knocked it out of the park with the Talon G2's.

Oh, the Talon. I was in love with the first generation predator and then one day a pair of Talon G2's landed on the door step of my tent in the Red. Out of the box they were perfect for my project! Even though they are aggressive, they are soft enough for vert and downturned enough for steep. The edges are amazing, the smallest edge feels like a jug. This is my go-to shoe, I cant get enough!

The best pair of rock climbing shoes I have had in the 13 years I have been climbing. I have a street shoe size of 16 and these shoes really help help support your feet. They don't stretch and have been great for bouldering and sport climbing. I would highly recommend you give these shoes a try.

This shoe is by far my favorite. It's aggressive yet comfortable, and it has a perfect heel cup. And it fits women's feet perfectly! Love it!

This is the most amazing shoe ever created by man kind. Aggressive yet comfortable. The heel cup is the most solid feel I have experienced in a shoe. If you have never used a pair of these, you should. Nothing even comes close to comparing to the power and traction of these kicks.

Great shoe for steep bouldering and sport climbing. Awesome toe power for grabbing on steep terrain as well as toeing into small edges on vertical terrain. Very comfortable right out of the box. The heel has a great combination of stiffness and sensitivity for heel hooks. This shoe and the Predator are my primary shoes for gym, bouldering, and sport. The rubber and durability are as good or better than anything out there!

Best steep terrain shoe ever! I love these things, hooking and pulling with your feet on severe overhangs is no problem. They are not a shoe I can climb in all day, but for how drastic the down-turn is, they are quite comfortable. Very aggressive and very durable, my favorite pair of evolvs hands down.

By far the best climbing shoe I've owned. They work amazing on steep climbs but are also soft enough to smear on slabs. I can actually wear these for long routes without getting sore feet unlike other down cambered shoes I've owned.
