The Shaman Trance is a versatile performance climbing shoe for those looking for one rock shoe that can genuinely cover most aspects of hard climbing, whether that’s steep sport, bouldering or technical trad.
The Trance somehow manages to deliver top-end performance without putting your feet through the usual crippling experience associated with aggressive climbing shoes, offering a rare combination of serious technical ability and genuine wearability for long sessions.
At its heart is a 1mm EVOWRAP tensioned rubber midsole and the Love Bump taken from the Shaman Pro, creating a powerful platform for driving through tiny edges, pockets and steep footholds, while still allowing the shoe to flex and respond when you need sensitivity.
The 3.5mm EVO 74 rubber outsole is softer and thinner than the original Evolv Shaman, adding a noticeable boost in sensitivity while retaining the edging power of the Evolv Shaman PRO. The result is a seriously effective hybrid: sticky and sensitive enough to smear and feel your way across technical footholds, yet powerful enough to stand confidently on microscopic edges. Add the 1.2mm EVO 74 toe patch and FLX rubber rand, and you’ve got all the tools you need for modern toe hooks, technical footwork and steep climbing.
The result is a shoe that can conquer virtually every aspect of intermediate-to-high-performance climbing. Powerful enough for steep bouldering, sensitive enough for modern coordination moves, precise enough for technical sport climbing and versatile enough to handle vertical terrain and smearing, the Shaman Trance doesn't limit you to one style of climbing.
And then there's the fit. The hybrid sock upper and multi-strap closure give you a secure, supportive feel without resorting to the foot-crushing fit traditionally associated with high-performance climbing shoes. The Shaman Trance is proof that performance doesn't have to equal pain. You can climb hard, stay in your shoes longer and actually enjoy wearing them between burns.
Evolv Size Suggestion:
Max Performance: Use your street shoe size for an ultra-snug fit.
Performance Fit: add a 1 size to your street shoe for a snug fit that is still comfortable to wear for a full session.
Comfort Fit:add 2 sizes to your street shoe.
