Steep Terrain Machine
Designed with input from Daniel Woods and Paul Robinson—two of the world’s best boulderers—the Evolv Phantom Climbing Shoe is built with one purpose: to give you pinnacle performance on the hardest, steepest climbs. The aggressive downturn is supported by Evolv’s Phantom technology, made up of the AVT midsole, which is thicker in the forefoot and thinner around your toes to provide sensitivity without reducing power, and the TPS+ midsole, which keeps the shoe’s downturned shape—even after it’s fully broken in. Evolv used stretchy neoprene to allow the knuckle box to stretch and rebound back to its original shape to prevent toe pain and maintain the Phantom’s precise profile, while the heel midsole and thinner heel rubber give you the perfect blend of sensitivity and rigidity for technical heel hooks. Strap it all in with a high-tech, single-pull closure system for a secure, precise fit worthy of your hardest sends.
