Our most sensitive climbing shoes for training and bouldering.

Sense everything with the best training and soft bouldering shoe on the market. Featuring a deconstructed design that allows just the right support while making sure the climber senses everything on the wall. With the Zenist, Evolv has created a perfect training shoe for volume style climbing. As the softest shoe in the Evolv line, it offers containment through the upper's structural support. Meanwhile, the deconstructed midsole and outsole allow for exquisite sensitivity, enabling climbers to sense every contact with the wall. The thin split outsole, single strap closure, large toe patch for toe hooking, and tensioned heel rand for stable heel hooking making this minimalist, sensitive shoe the choice for the training board. The Zenist also comes in a Low Volume to ensure the best fit for a climber’s foot shape and performance goals.
