Evolv Nexxo | Climbing Shoe Review

Evolv Nexxo | Climbing Shoe Review

As soon as I got out onto rock I was astonished at the power you get through the toes with these shoes and the security you feel standing on small edges; a result of the highly asymmetric last, the tensioning of the rand and full length 1mm midsole, which seems quite a rarity these days but is most welcome in the Nexxo.

La Sportiva Miura VS | Climbing Shoe Review

La Sportiva Miura VS | Climbing Shoe Review

On first glance the Miura VS seems like a Velcro version of the Miura (lace up) – a long established La Sportiva favourite. Given its loyal following (I can’t think of another model that has remained unchanged for so many years) there’s no surprise that it’s joined by a Velcro version.
