Anybody using them? Thoughts?

Also what is the sizing like?

I’ve never used them, I have tried them on and I liked how they fit. Evolv is known for having supper sticky rubber. I read some reviews on them and it sounds like they will make a really good bouldering shoe.

I would probably say similar to La Sportiva but I can’t remember it was a while ago.

Not similar at all to LaSpo.  
Wouldn't buy them unless you try them on or are 100% sure you can return.
I have them and wear a 9 and wear a 7.5 in most laspo.
Good medium stiffness sport/bouldering shoe

If they are like other Evolv shoes you are going to be right at or a little higher then your street shoe size. You can probably toss any sizing info you have gained from other shoe companies out the window when shopping evolv. Their sizing system is super wack. Love their shoes though

I had a pair of evolv's cant remember the model. The rubber was awesome, super sticky, but they stretched a ton even though they were synthetic which I was told wouldn't stretch as much.

How fucking twisted is it that a brand having accurate sizes relative to street size is 'wack'

I usually like the way Five Tens fit in street size, Evolvs I generally go up .5-1 size which is wack.

Curious about Phantom sizing as well, I've seen a ton of them for sale on ebay and Geartrade lately.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
