Rave Climbing Shoe

I wear a size 9.5 to 10 normally and I went with a 9 according to some reviews I’ve read. These are great gym shoes. They are comfortable enough to not have to rip off after each climb and the heel hasn’t slipped on me at all. The rubber seems to be gripping really well. I don’t have any experience with them outside yet but I highly recommend for a great gym shoe for bouldering, top rope, and lead.

Perfect Gym Shoes

These are fantastic to wear in the climbing gym. The fit is great for lead climbs and top-roping and the rubber inspires confidence on small foot chips. They're also great for working crack boulders and routes at the gym. If you've been considering slippers for climbing, just do it!

mocs

Awesome mocs - couple months in with these being main shoes for everything from gym to granite. Would definitely recommend for an all day comfort shoe. Downsized a half size and they stretched perfectly. For sure not technical shoes but the heel stays tight on my narrow heel on hooks and the toes fit just right. Hope to get another couple months at least out of these but will definitely buy again.

Evolv Rave Climbing shoes

These are my first climbing shoes and they are okay for my first ones. These shoes are very narrow and since they are slip on, it is kinda hard to loosen them up. I recommend a whole size up if you are looking to buy these.

My Favorite Shoe

Just purchased my 4th pair of these. My go to shoe for the gym sport climbing and bouldering, multi-pitch trad, and moderate sport climbing. I have a few pairs of La Sportiva TC Pros and Miuras that I haven't touched since getting my first pair of Raves. They feel really secure for moccasins and I rarely feel like my heel is loose or liable to slip out - even with heel hooking. They're so comfortable I often just leave them on for my whole session, but I don't feel like I'm sacrificing performance for comfort at all... amazing! My street shoe is a 9 and I wear an 8.5 for this shoe.

Workhorse

These shoes are my daily wear for just about any use on the wall. I’ve done a small amount of crack climbing in them, works just fine (not perfect, a better option is definitely a lower profile, laced, shoe, like the Yosemite). They’re satisfactory for overhanging features, accept aggressive heal hooks! I only ever feel slippage when aggressively heel hooking, like a brutal mantle. Perfectly fine on slabs and for smearing. Fine edges are manageable down to about 1cm. Extremely comfortable. I’ve got a medium, normal, arch in my feet. I’m usually a size 9.5US men’s, but I’ve got these in 8.5US men’s for a bit more response (I typically recommend sizing down just a bit). 99% of the time I climb I’m wearing socks and have had no issues with the sizing. They’ve stretched a little but I can still wear them for hours at a time. They’re quite durable too! Indoor use is fantastic, outdoor use is great as well. I’ve recommended these to multiple friends and they absolutely love them. This shoe will always be in my bag and I hope that this quality and standard remains! Thanks Evolv!

LOVE

I got these thinking they'd just be a chill gym shoe- they've turned into my go to outdoor shoe and they haven't let me down on any edge or smear yet. I've worn these on several long outdoor sport multipitch routes and although I do need to take them off occasionally for belays, so did my friend with his [very famous double priced shoe]. I really like the heel tension although that's the part making me want to get my feet a rest. I've only done a few jams but they did fine. I do kind of wish I got 1/2 size up to wear more comfy with socks. I wouldn't say these stretched a lot but they noticeably became more comfy by the end of the first multipitch day. Don't stop making these! I promote these hard!

After Searching High And Low, I Found The Rave

It was a sad day when my Boreal Kryptos finally died, they were my go-to pair of shoes and I had bought several pairs. After searching for what was seriously a year, I landed on the Rave. They're a pretty neutral shoe, easy to break in and comfortable as all heck. So far these shoes have only been in the gym, but they seem like they'll do well out in the wild too. Stoked to find a new favorite shoe!

Old Reliable

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Comfort, durability and cheeto feet are in your future if you choose these shoes! I spend 24 hours straight in these and didn't feel the need to take them off once!

Awesome Shoe

I love this shoe!
