Chris Sharma's Evolv Optimus Climbing Shoe Now at Rock/Creek

[fredfinks]

I occaisonly snorkel and needed a new mask. i was going to a sport store to just grab a standard pair for $30-40.  I wondered what the best was? Found the ultimate mask from Cressi , only cost $105 on ebay. The result? holy fuck, i can see peripheral, i dont fog, i mean you spend a fortune getting to the destination. May as well see it with clarity.

[fredfinks]

This is what i dont understand. People who are keen on a hobby and want an item that they believe to be better but wont spend like an extra $50 to get the best.

If i was interested in a sport that doesnt require that much equipment, as opposed to go karting which has considerable cost. I would just fork out and get the best shoe i could buy. I mean these people probably blow $100 on a few drinks on a sat night.

i love how you can see joe kinder's hand imprint with chalk on the finishing jug.

[theultimateshoe]

why has noone commented on the fact that that fall he just took looked awful 

[inoobnomoar]

@theultimateshoe yeah, flipped upside-down

[Graham7697]

@theultimateshoe because he finished the climb, and just let go awkwardly.. it wasn't like he smashed into the wall or the ground.

Evolv are the only shoe that fits me. They rock. The bandit is great for sport and trad.

[sanarkhos]

Rockstars fit my feet better. Also quest when they had sticky rubber (alas, no more...)

Never liked the Pontas, and Optimus isn't described as being asymmetric.

You can get these for cheap on campsaver(dot)com. Great shoe! I hv a pair of the optimus and I love them.

[lovewukey]

i got pair of the optimas prime and they a by far the best shoes ive used.. and i thought the pontas would take some beating

[Shutterguy]

HAHA, i have the pontas . optimus too expensive for me haha
