Evolv Geshido SC Rock Climbing Shoes - REVIEW
The Geshido SC is one of evolv’s “Sharma signature series” shoes, meaning Chris Sharma had a say in the design of the shoe. If you want a generalized shoe that performs well at many things from climbing toe hooking on steep sport routes to jamming in cracks, this may be the shoe for you.
The Geshido has an asymmetric down cambered last – this translates to more aggressive edging. The “love bump, a design feature to reduce dead space under the toes and disperse energy to your toes for more power and edging control, flattens out while walking around on it, which makes it quite a comfortable multi-pitch shoe. This shoe has a thin, low profile forefoot which allows you to jam your toes into thin cracks, and thanks to the 1 mm full length midsole, your foot is nicely protected in the crack. The full length midsole also helps with edging, however I did find that the Geshido smears decently too, probably due to the flexible toe. (I would like to note that the Geshido lace up version has a 1mm half length midsole compared to the full length in the SC.)
