Evolv Climbing Shoe upgrades make 3 Shoes top picks for Fall

Rock/Creek is teaming with Evolv for an early launch of the new and improved Evolv Predator and Evolv Talon; but there's more...

The Fall season does not simply start off with just two redesigns... we have the brand new Spring 2010 Evolv Kaos II available NOW at all Rock/Creek store locations and rockcreek.com!

Ruffles Potato chips are not the only product with ridges anymore! Upgrades to the heel and asymmetrical features make these the season's killer climbing shoe choice. The new arrivals will not be widely available until Spring 2010 but you can get all three styles at Rock/Creek.
If you have not made it to an Industry Demo Night  yet, you should plan to come next time! These hot new shoes can be demoed on these nights so you can see for yourself why the Evolv Climbing Shoe upgrades put all Spring 2010 competitors to shame!  Read the Specs below and catch a glimpse at the new Evolv Kaos II, Evolv Predator, and Evolv Talon:

Evolv Climbing Shoe Specs	New 2009 Styles	Old School Stylin'
Brand New Kaos II: A softer performance oriented shoe Non-Stretch Upper Perforated upper for breathability and comfort Non-Perforated Heel area for maintained fit over time Soft Midsole for extra sensitivity on the rock
