Evolv Geshido Lace | Climbing Shoe Review
The Geshido is a stiffer shoe than many of the other Evolv models, and it has a fairly asymmetric toe profile which makes it good for pockets and edging. Thanks to what Evolv call a “love bump” feature the toe area is also quite tight fitting – or “low volume” in shoe speak, and this makes the Geshido feel very precise on the harder and more technical climbs.

Evolv Nexxo | Climbing Shoe Review
