Evolv V6
Evolv
The V6 is a soft, moderately downturned velcro shoe from Evolv for sport climbing and bouldering. Evolv lists it as wide-width with a narrow heel. In stock at 15 shops from 100.72 EUR.
Redesigned for 2026 with a new split-tongue upper and 4.2mm EVO 74 rubber, Evolv's stickier compound. The half-length 1.6mm love bump midsole is the one from the Shaman Pro, giving downturn power for small holds without much stiffness; a full-length outsole adds torsional stability and a comp-style toe patch covers toe hooks. Evolv rates it PSR 6, the middle of its sensitivity-to-power scale, and positions it as the step up from a first pair of shoes. Fully vegan.
Best For
Best for sport climbing and bouldering on slab, vertical and overhang terrain. Aimed at beginner to intermediate climbers.
Among the 469 adult climbing shoes we track, the V6 ranks in the top 5% for smearing, the top 24% for sensitivity and the top 34% for pocket climbing.
