The Evolv Royale is a fairly stiff and supportive shoe which lends itself well to those just starting out in climbing or anyone looking for an all day multi-pitch shoe. The toe box is more symmetrical than most others on the market making the Royale a great choice for those with a long second toe than big toe. Also, the upper is made from an unlined leather which will stretch over time to mold to the shape of your foot, eliminating hot spots. The full length lacing system allows for plenty of adjustment for the perfect fit.
