Customer Reviews EVOLV Elektra

These are a great pair at a reasonable price if you're a beginner at rock climbing. I normally wear a size 5 or 5.5 but 5 fit great on me. They're typically true to size and if you're going one size up then that might be too big already. Your toes are suppose to curl up a bit, and leave little-to-no room for wiggle all around. These are NOT meant for walking like any regular shoe and will be uncomfortable if you try to do so for long. Wear these without socks and although they might be slightly uncomfortable, if at all, they'll fulfill their purpose and stretch a bit over time. Definitely recommend these Elektra's and I love the purple color!

I recently starting Bouldering (indoor rock climbing) this is a good starter shoe. The first wear irritated the back of my heel at first because these are worn without socks. After the first use I haven't had any issues. These shoes definitely feel weird, they are supposed to feel different but not hurt. They didn't hurt me at all. I wear a size 10 normally but 10.5 fit perfect. Your toe is supposed to reach the front of the shoe because you need to use your toes for climbing. If your toes slightly curl then that's normal. The velcro allows easy adjustment and removal especially after a hard climb!

I normally wear a size 6 in shoes and had this climbing shoe in a 5.5. I ordered that same size but for some reason this time it was too small and exchanged for a size 6 and it fits great. The only issue with these shoes in general is they get really stinky with wear, but I know I like the shoe so keep getting it until I find another one I like better.

These shoes run ridiculously small. I usually wear a 8.5 or 9. I needed a size 11 in this shoe. They are cute and comfortable but be prepared to size up at least one full size.
