Sapatos de escalada Evolv Zenist - Cinzento/Preto - EU 41,5

Built around a 4.2mm TRAX SAS outsole and an aggressive, highly downturned profile, the Evolv Zenist delivers precision on steep terrain and competition-style boulders. The single hook-and-loop strap locks the foot in place, while the Dark Spine heel tensioning system keeps the shoe securely wrapped through powerful heel hooks.

Overview

The Zenist is Evolv's answer to modern bouldering and sport climbing demands. Its Synthratek VX synthetic upper offers a supportive, breathable fit that won't stretch out over time. The unlined interior maximizes sensitivity, letting you feel every foothold. A half-length MX-P midsole (1.0mm) provides just enough support under the toe without sacrificing flexibility, while the high asymmetry and knuckle box toe design concentrate power over the big toe for precise edging and toe hooks.
