The Evolv Shaman 2S is a modern, softer-feeling version of Evolv’s legendary performance shoe, designed to thrive in today’s technical gyms/comp climbing and on real rock alike. It bridges the trend toward sensitive, adaptive climbing footwear with the all-around capability you expect from a true performance model, making it a go-to choice for climbers who want precision and comfort in one package. Evolv Size Suggestion: Max Performance: Use your street shoe size for an ultra-snug fit.Performance Fit: add a 1 size to your street shoe for a snug fit that is still comfortable to wear for a full session.Comfort Fit: add 2 sizes to your street shoe. Built to be responsive and sensitive without sacrificing power, the Shaman 2S features the Evolab heel construction from Phantom Pro and Shaman midsole, which allows it to excel on modern gym features like volumes, slopers, and technical friction moves while still delivering authority on edges and rock features. It’s particularly well-suited to climbers who value dynamic footwork, tactile feedback, and all-day comfort in a downturned shoe. The Shaman 2S brings a fresh, more sensitive character when compared to the original Shaman, tailored to today’s climbing demands: Softer, More Adaptive FeelWhere the classic Shaman leans toward a slightly firmer, traditional performance great for edging and steeper terrain, the 2S shifts toward modern sensitivity, giving you greater feedback on volumes and slopers without losing power. Updated Rubber & Midsole BalanceThe 2S uses 3.5 mm EVO 74 rubber and a thoughtful blend of camber and Love Bump to strike a balance between stickiness and agility. The original Shaman typically features thicker TRAX rubber for a grippier but stiffer feel. Closure & Fit AdaptationsShaman 2S features a hybrid strap setup that enhances fit customisation across foot shapes, while the original usually has a more traditional Velcro closure and a slightly different tension profile. Engineered for Gym & OutdoorThough both perform on rock and plastic, the 2S’s softer, more responsive platform is explicitly excellent on modern gym terrain and volumes, something many climbers feel sets it apart from the more rock-centric feel of the original Shaman. This version also lends itself to lighter climbers who can find the original Shaman a little too stiff and supportive.
