What climbers keep saying · from 15 reviews

comfortable14durable3precise edging1

Their Evolv Kiras lasted about a year climbing twice a week, and the heel fit like a glove.

positivedurable

Had the Evolv Kira and it fit great, but wanted something more aggressive and sticky.

positive

The Evolv Kira is super comfortable yet snug; their favourite climbing shoe so far.

positivecomfortable

The Kira was their starter shoe and is still their normal shoe; the rubber is pretty good though not as sticky as their Solutions, and it lacks a talon toe for small chips.

positivecomfortable

With high arches, the Kira is the only shoe they've liked so far; the Velcro straps are adjustable.

positive

A Kira user whose strap now slips and loosens when cranked, apparently from wear, though they can still get a tight fit with fiddling.

mixed

The Kiras fit well but still had some dead space in the heel for their low-volume heel.

mixed

Still recommends the Evolv Kira, which they used for a while; the heel is quite narrow and the straps very adjustable.

positive

Evolv fits them best; the Kira is very comfortable overall in the toe box and midsole and wearable all day, though not stiff enough for micro edges and the heel isn't ideal for narrow heels.

positivecomfortable

Had good luck with the Evolv Kira: a bit uncomfortable when first put on, great once warmed up.

positivecomfortable

With small duck feet, Evolv Kiras in street size have worked, though they're pretty soft for arthritic toes.

mixedcomfortable

Wears the Evolv Kira as their comfy all-day shoe.

positivecomfortable

Switched from Force Vs to the Evolv Kira and is very happy: comfortable, pain-free, with a nice edge for their 6b-6c bouldering.

positivecomfortableprecise edging

Recommends the Evolv Kira as a step up: slight downturn, good durability, and fits their narrow feet well.

positivedurablecomfortable

Loves their Kiras as a step up from beginner shoes without being super aggressive.

positivecomfortable

The Kira was their first shoe; 3 years and three pairs later (one resoled) it's still their main shoe: very comfy but performs well.

positivecomfortabledurable

Flashing 5.11 indoors in the Kira, which is super comfy but a flat, unpointed shoe they want to upgrade from for 5.12 routes with tiny footholds.

mixedcomfortable

Their second-hand Evolv Kiras in 37.5 were broken in and comfortable, and felt roomier than a new pair of Kubos.

positivecomfortable

Wears Kiras in a comfy size as a chill and multipitch shoe; they fit their foot super well.

positivecomfortable

With very hypermobile big toes, finds the Kira doesn't push the big toe in; not very technical, but it is their comfort pair.

“Although Evolv Kira are not super wide, they don't seem to push my big toe in at all - otherwise it dislocates. These aren't super technical at all, but they are my comfort pair.”
