Evolv's Elektra is their top selling women’s shoe and it just got better. The Elektra VTR has all the same great features as the original Elektra plus more. A low volume toe box, arch, and heel provides optimum performance without forfeiting any comfort.
EVOLV is planning to use VTR Technology to make a toe rand that has strategically varying thicknesses. The HW (High Wear) Zone will be engineered to be thicker and more durable than the other areas of the rand which will not only enhance the toe box structure but prevent toe-bulge as well. (PATENT PENDING)

Comments about Evolv Elektra VTR Climbing Shoe (Women's):
My feet are normally a size 7.5 so I bought the 8 and then had to return it for an 8.5. The 8.5 is still a bit snug, but workable. I had tried climbing shoes on at the climbing gym I go to, as well as athletic stores, so I had originally thought I would be fine buying online. Rock Creek had a great return policy, so no hassle getting a size bigger.

Comments about Evolv Elektra VTR Climbing Shoe (Women's):
I just bought a second pair of these shoes after my first developed a hole in the toe after almost 9 months of wear (2-3x weekly at a gym, outdoor more rarely than I'd like). Good price, comfortable fit at half a size down from street shoe size. My only complaint is that the shoes get more than a bit smelly--glad that they are using a non-leather material, but make sure you leave them out to air well to avoid rankness.

Comments about Evolv Elektra VTR Climbing Shoe (Women's):
I just started climbing last year and have become extremely addicted to the sport. These shoes are awesome! I use them outside bouldering and in the gym. They are absolutely great. They run a little large, I would suggest going down a half size or full size than what you usually would wear.

Comments about Evolv Elektra VTR Climbing Shoe (Women's):
I use these shoes in the gym, bouldering, and on various sandstone walls. I love them because they are easy to put on and take off, are very comfortable, and nice and simple design. I was really amazed at how much the rubber actually made a difference in how well I climb. Super durable for smearing and edging. I trust these shoes more and more every time I use them.
