I am looking at purchasing either the Evolv Pontas or the Evolv Preadators. What is everyone's opinion on the two shoes? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

JT,

Ive used Evolves now for 6 years, and I would go with the Predators if youve got a narrower, longer foot. Ive used them for steep sport climbing, as well as friction slabs, and the performed great on both!

Agree with above. I wear a street shoe 13, 13 in Predators was a good, snug fit for my long, narrow foot, but not painful. 12.5 in Pontas felt at least half size big and too big in toe box volume wise. But even if they fit well, I'd much prefer the Predators. They are by far my favorite overhung sport shoe. Evolv has a few sizes in the soon-to-be-old Predators on sale for $50 right now!
