Built as the perfect multi-purpose performance lace-up shoe, the Evolv Bandit Climbing Shoe allows you to excel at micro-edging, smearing, and crack climbing. The full length speed-lacing design provides a precision molded fit with a quick pull of the laces. The integrity webs on the side provide better lateral support and a consistent non-stretch fit over time and the microfiber lining provides a comfortable feel and proves that performance shoes can feel great to climb in. The teardrop shaped MX-2 stiff half midsole of the Bandit adds edging power without sacrificing flexibility in the midsection. The Bandit is the ideal lace-up performance shoe for intermediate to advanced climbers who like precision edging power.

Great all around shoes!
I use these hush puppies for bouldering indoors and out. They perform well in every aspect of the sport. I have experience with evolv sizing, I wear an 11 to 11.5 in street shoes. An 11.5 is a perfect, very snug fit for me. Thanks evolv

Best climbing shoes ever used
About my fourth pair of shoes tried, was looking for a good overall shoe that can edge and smear well, work for sport / trad / bouldering. For me this is it, handles everything I've thrown at it. I got my normal street shoe size and after about 15 hours in them I'd say it's broken in slightly but not much. It may be my feet, for me the toe pinches slightly I can't leave them on too long before having to take off, but consider it an acceptable compromise given their performance. A performance shoe can only be worn so long anyway, I hope eventually I can wear for up to six hours.

new look, relaxed fit, still great shoe :)
I've always liked the Bandit's all around performance and edging and now it's got a new hot look to it...perfect! I did notice the heel cup fits differently than the older one but that's not a bad thing at all. I really like it actually!
