EVOLV Geshido Lace Climbing Shoes - Men's Black/Teal/White 10.5
Climbing ShoesThe Evolv Geshido was designed for the climber that needs to excel on all types of terrain from moderately overhanging, to vertical, to off-vertical faces for long periods of time. The single layer leather upper paired with the 3/4 length lace closure system will allow the shoe to mold to your foot over time, giving you that perfect custom fit and then allow you to sinch the shoe up when you need some extra power to drive through small features and confidence during those technical sequences. The Geshido has a thinner heel rand to yield when the route goes past vertical but is paired with a dark spine heel midsole to ensure that there is plenty of rigidity and power to the toes when needed.

About Climbing Shoes
Conquer the Wall: Top Climbing Shoes for Peak Performance
Scaling new heights and achieving peak performance on the climbing wall requires precise footwork and the right equipment. Climbing shoes are essential for climbers of all levels, providing the grip, sensitivity, and support needed to conquer challenging routes. With a vast array of climbing shoe styles and features available, navigating the options can feel overwhelming. Fear not, aspiring climbers! This guide will delve into the world of climbing shoes, helping you choose the perfect pair to match your climbing style and maximize your performance on the wall.
Climbing Styles: Different Shoes for Different Climbers
The ideal climbing shoe depends on your preferred climbing style. Here's a breakdown of popular climbing shoe types for various disciplines:
- All-Around Climbing Shoes: These versatile shoes offer a good balance between comfort, sensitivity, and performance. They're a great option for beginner and intermediate climbers who enjoy different climbing styles, from gym climbing to sport climbing on moderate routes.
- Bouldering Shoes: These aggressive shoes prioritize sensitivity and edging power for tackling difficult boulder problems. They feature a downturned shape and stiff sole for precise footwork on small holds.
- Sport Climbing Shoes: These shoes offer a balance between sensitivity and support, ideal for technical sport climbing routes. They might be slightly less aggressive than bouldering shoes but still provide good edging power and comfort for longer climbs.
- Crack Climbing Shoes: For mastering the art of crack climbing, consider specialized crack climbing shoes. These shoes have a flat profile and a stiffer sole to allow for better jamming techniques in narrow cracks.
Fit for the Climb: Comfort and Sensitivity
Climbing shoes are designed to fit snugly for optimal performance. Here's what to consider for a comfortable and sensitive fit:
- Snug Fit: Climbing shoes should fit snugly, conforming to the shape of your foot. This provides maximum sensitivity for feeling small footholds.
- Consider Downsizing: Many climbers downsize their climbing shoe size compared to their everyday shoes for a tighter fit and improved sensitivity. However, prioritize comfort – overly tight shoes can lead to pain and numbness.
- Break-in Period: New climbing shoes might feel stiff initially. Wear them for short periods at home to break them in before a climbing session.
Material Matters: Choosing the Right Features for Your Climbing Shoes
The material of your climbing shoes plays a significant role in performance and comfort. Here's a breakdown of popular materials:
- Leather: Leather climbing shoes are known for their durability, breathability, and ability to conform to the shape of your foot over time. However, they require breaking in and can stretch slightly with use.
- Synthetic Materials: Synthetic climbing shoes offer various benefits like lightweight construction, water resistance, and faster drying times. They might not conform to your foot shape as much as leather shoes.
- Velcro vs. Lace-Up: Climbing shoes come in both velcro and lace-up closure options. Velcro offers a quick and easy on-and-off experience, while laces allow for a more customized fit.
Conquer the Wall with Confidence: The Perfect Climbing Shoes Await
By prioritizing your climbing style, fit, and desired features, you can choose climbing shoes that elevate your performance and confidence on the wall. Remember, climbing shoes are an investment in your climbing journey. Don't hesitate to seek advice from experienced climbers or staff at a climbing gym to find the perfect pair for your needs. So, lace up (or velcro up) your new climbing shoes, and conquer the wall with confidence on your next climbing adventure!
User Reviews
Like another reviewer, said the tongue is literally not attached to the rest of the shoe upon arrival
Since fit matters most, I'll start with that: these things are a perfect fit for my wide forefoot / narrow heel feet (with bunions to make it more interesting). In my street shoe size the Evolv Oracle has my toes curled down a bit, but the same size here has them mostly flat (as you'd expect in an all-rounder).Sized thus, these things are SUPER comfortable for long techy pitches on small edges and pockets. The tippy tip of the toes are very stiff and offer tons of support. There's enough downturn and pointiness to make them feel very precise. The rubber works well enough. The lacing system is fantastic.Think of them as a La Sportiva Katana or Miura Lace for people with wider feet. I'd wear something else if I knew I was going to be doing a lot any one thing (steep bouldering with lots of toe hooks, thin or wide cracks, friction slabs) but they still get the job done there.All that said, the tongue of these things is weakly attached. Don't pull on it hard or you risk ripping it off.
Nice shoe, BUT, the tongue came right off after a few uses. :-(I have to position the detached tongue under the laces now before tightening up.Replace? Outside the replacement window now....
Super fast shipping, product as advertised
