Loves the Shamans: slightly better rubber than their VSRs but wears faster (4-5 months vs 6), the three velcros are a bit odd and less of an all-rounder.

Switched from La Sportiva to Evolv Shamans several years ago and still wear them; much more comfortable for their wide feet.
A huge fan of the Evolv Shamans; has climbed in them a while and they haven't stretched at all.
With a wide toe box and narrow heel, they love the men's velcro Shamans for sport and bouldering.
The heels of their Evolv Shamans were collapsing on them.
The original Evolv Shaman fits their narrow heel like a glove.
Has worn the 3-strap Shamans for a few years and likes them a lot; Evolv's newer lineup killed their toes.
With a wide forefoot and shallow, narrow heel, finds the standard (not LV) Shaman the only shoe that stays on their heel without crushing their toes.
“Evolv shaman- the standard not LV. It took me a long time to find them. They are the only shoe that will stay on my heel and not crush my toes.”
