Based on Chris Sharma's climbing expertise and design ideas, the Evolv Pontas Rock Climbing Shoe was developed. An allaround high performance shoe, the Pontas fuses precision, power, and responsiveness in an excellent glovelike fit. The heel fits securely from base of the heel to the achilles without discomfort and deadspace.

Equipped with an extended toe rand that is functional for toehooking without feeling excessive and the trigrooves relieves pressure off the big toe, the Pontas has a 34 length semi stiff midsole providing the ideal balance of edging power and responsiveness from toe through the arch.

Customer Reviews for the Pontas Rock Evolv Climbing Shoes

One of the best all around shoes made
I am on my third pair of these, they are a impressive all around shoe. The probably excel the most at edging, and could have a tighter heal to be prefect. All in all I will still get these as my main shoe...considering they are very reasonably priced. I did notice for most recent model the shoe fits me differently. I have 3 pair of 9 and they all fit great. Just got another pair with the "eco" rubber logo on the bottom, like a half size too big. Supper annoying.

Very Impressed, a great advanced beginner to intermediate shoe
This is my first pair of climbing shoes. I have been climbing 2-3 times a week for 4 months. There is no comparison to climbing centre "rental" La Sportiva. They give great feel, massive grip, feel great and I can get two feet on smaller holds. I ordered my sport shoe size and they are appropriately snug. I love them.

Excellent all-around shoe
Extremely sticky sole. Excellent heel hooking and power. Also, unlike the defy, this shoe has a lot better odor control.

Not too shabby
For the price, these things are awesome. The rubber seems really sticky so far, and the fit is fairly okay. When I'm not climbing I notice a lot of pressure on the joint on my big toe because of the toe rand. Also, I have pretty wide feet and these felt narrow when I pulled 'em on, but once I started climbing I stopped noticing all the fit issues. They're pretty good to wear for a few laps, but I wouldn't recommend them for all day climbing or belaying much. I certainly recommend them for sport climbing, but not necessarily for all day adventures when comfort is key.
