About the Evolv Phantom LV
The Evolv Phantom are an aggressively shaped, downturned climbing shoe designed to tackle the most technical bouldering routes. Designed with renowned climbers Paul Robinson and Daniel Woods, the Phantom represents the pinnacle of Evolv's line of bouldering shoes.
The LV specific model is designed to offer greater climbing dexterity with a tighter fit. LV or Low volume shoes cater to those wishing to gain supple feedback from the wall or are ideal for those with lesser foot volume.
A two-way stretch neoprene upper allows for knuckle flex in the toe box, expanding when flexed and rebounding when not to alleviate hotspots and maintain performance over time, whilst a 6-point single pull compression system ensures a comfy and tight fit. This unique closure system cinches the foot in tightly and makes for an easily combustible fit.
The Dark Spine S heel and rubber construction make these shoes a workhorse of power, performance and precision, enabling steep edging and responsive heel hooks and allowing you to tackle the bouldering walls and rock courses with ease and expertise.
For a vegan, highly specialist shoe, the Phantom is designed for advanced climbers tackling steep problems.
