Evolv Zenist 2026 Low Volume Climbing Shoes

Completely redesigned for 2026 for a glove like fit, this climbing shoe provides performance and comfort in a sleek package.

Synthetic Suede Sock Upper

For the ultimate glove-like fit a sock upper has been used in the Zenist 2026 Low Volume. It wraps your foot in comfort and allows for maximum proprioception, allowing you total sensitivity. This means you can better feel the wall, helping you balance your weight effectively and make more informed positioning choices. The synthetic suede is highly durable and the strap closure allows you to really lock in the fit for maximum confidence. An oversize toe patch and FLX Rubber Rear Rand provide added durability, shielding your feet, and also add to the grip of the outsole, extending the rubber coverage for greater grip power. This model has 6% lower overall volume than the Zenist for intermediate to advanced performance levels. It is ultra flexible, perfect for smearing, coordination and toe heel catches.

EVO 74 Rubber Outsole

The outsole of the Zenist 2026 Low Volume is made from EVO 74 Rubber. It takes performance to the next level with a more refined, competition-grade compound tuned for elite sensitivity and friction. This means you can move with confidence on the wall, knowing you're adhered. It is designed for climbers who demand precision on plastic and stone, offering superior feedback and control when every millimetre counts. With a PSR rating of 1 - which represents the highest level of sensitivity and flexibility, this outsole is designed specifically for competition-style bouldering, smearing, and modern gym volumes with a highly cambered, soft design. Atop this, a forefoot only 1.0mm tensioned rubber midsole provides added support.
