Evolv Agro review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- The Plastic Fantastic Team got together and reviewed the new Evolv Agros. The overall opinion is that we all loved them and believe them to be a sticky, high performing, and attractive climbing shoe. Thanks to Evolv Climbing for the shoes and Cliffs of Id for the use of the gym. ( Sorry for the choppy end, we ended up going off topic because of me and started chatting about the new Evolv line up and the camera cut us off )
These videos are actually really cool, but as they are so long it would be helpful to have an index of topics such as 0:00 Fit 5:00 Durability etc
I've had the shaman for about a year and they're perfect for my wide feet and nowhere near being worn out, but the agro is so damn badass looking...
Love Touchstone gyms. I go to the Studio, in San Jose, but checked out Cliffs of Id when I was down there. Wish the Studio had that much bouldering. Awesome gym you guys have there.
Tried on these new Agros, then Shamans, then Agros again...you get the idea. I walked out with a pair of Agros instead. The Shaman is more comfortable but in the end that extra comfort messed with the sizing for me personally and they felt that little bit stiffer. These are quite soft but so far I'm really impressed. Three days in and my big toes are in agony, but the break in period should calm that down.
I cruised up several routes I hadn't tried before that were above my grade today.. (with considerable pain of course)
Eager to see how they perform in another month or two.
yeah, we agree too. The Shamans are a bit stiffer than the Agros and we feel that the softness is a true benefit to the shoe. We are in the opinion that 2 weeks and the break in period should make them a fine performer.
Thanks for the review! Decided on the agros while i get my solutions resoled. Upsized 1/2 to 10.5. Still breaking them in but was able to climb a full session out of the box. Super comfy for such an aggressive shoe. Time will tell but i give them a plus out the box due to basically zero break in time. The adjustable strap is not to be underestimated. You can really dial in the fit. Definitely recommend!!
Kevin, they will serve you well. I think while you wait for your solutions to come back, you wont regret having them!
Loving the review! Do you have any idea when you will be able to share some thoughts on the Supra? The Supra and Agro are shoes i really anticipate, but thanks to the Agro hype there is nothing online about the Supra it seems.
hey!!!! So glad you asked we filmed it today and I imagine that I'll be able to get to it in the next week. So look for it within a week?!!! Sooner if I can make wrap up some other photography things!
Plastic Fantastic Climbing Wow, that is a lot sooner than I expected. I think you guys may actually be the first! I'm looking forward to it ;)
"i have never seen that much rubber on the toe of a shoe" obvious does not no about the butora narsha.
Jesse! We agree! So much rubber but when we Bat Hang( check out our Instagram page for some of those videos ) we love all that rubber for sure!
How does the Agro compare to the Oracle? I bought the Oracle, but i bought it a little snug and they wont break in :p so i dont see myself using the oracle's outsider when the summer comes and must buy a size UP to manage a Long climb outside 🤣
hey Sverre! In terms of fit, it is significantly different. I would normally take an 8.5 in my oracles for a snug but comfortable fit. But for the same feeling in my Agros, I got a 9.5. And that was pretty much across the board. The crew all got sizes normally larger than they normally get. In terms of performance, in my bag, I carry two shoes. My oracles and my agros. I don't think I need more than that! They have the performance of an elite aggressive shoe with the power in the toe you would expect from a down toe shoe. Thanks for watching!
One guy is talking about smedging. So, how soft is this shoe compared to the shaman, the five ten dragon, scarpa furia or a team vxi? is the agro really that soft?
Oh man, The Furia is another monster in terms of feeling. You feel the world in that shoe. We think that the shoe is somewhere between the Shamans and Furias. Maybe somewhere around the Teams(VXI). We feel a bit softer. We would suggest to try them on and feel them out.
Love these shoes, great review!
Thanks Man!
This just made it really hard for me to choose between the shakras and the agro. 😲
Oh Man... that is a choice to be made. I feel if you want a really aggressive shoe, it should be the Agros. But if you are looking for a normally aggressive shoe, the shakras are for you. Also take not that the Shakras come from a LV width so keep that in mind.
