Comments about evolv Elektra VTR Rock Shoes - Women's:
I use these shoes at my indoor climbing gym several times a week. Although it took me a few goes to get them truly broken in (they no longer pinch my feet so mightily) these are good climbing shoes for the price. I've yet to try them out outdoors, but I'd assume that they would work just as well outside too!

I tried on a few types of climbing shoes and I liked these the best. The have a good grip and fit my feet well. They are pretty comfortable for climbing shoes as well.

Comments about evolv Elektra VTR Rock Shoes - Women's:
Very comfortable for a climbing shoe. I too was initially skeptical on the velcro, but it has not been an issue. I have had nothing but good experiences with them while climbing indoors.

Comments about evolv Elektra VTR Rock Shoes - Women's:
I am just getting started climbing, and these shoes are a good fit. They are pretty snug to wear and sometimes you don't even notice them when you are climbing. I use them on an outdoor bouldering wall, with deep loose gravel underneath. Sometimes the gravel pebbles get stuck in my shoes when I come off the wall, but I think that would happen with any shoe. I also like the vibrant color.

Comments about evolv Elektra VTR Rock Shoes - Women's:
This is a great pair of climbing shoes! They are very comfortable for climbing and walking around the gym. I do not feel the need to take them off as soon as I get off the wall like other climbers. I tend to have issues with many shoes (casual and athletic alike) where the top of the back of the shoe causes blisters on the back of my ankle, but this is not a problem with these shoes. They are very low profile around the ankle and fit well. However, I would recommend you try them on before buying as I needed a half size larger than my typical shoe size. They have served me well for both bouldering and rock gym use, and the color is cute too. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a comfy pair of climbing shoes!

Comments about evolv Elektra VTR Rock Shoes - Women's:
This is my first pair of climbing shoes and I love them. They're super comfortable and since they're specifically made for women, it hugs every part of my foot so nicely. I'm flatfooted too, but I feel like I could wear these all day. Don't expect these shoes to stretch out because they won't/don't. If this is your first pair of climbing shoes, I highly recommend your order your street shoe size.
Bouldering, whether it be indoor or outdoor they work just fine. As for smearing, this pair isn't the greatest, but it gets the job done.
In terms of stench, you need to leave your shoes open to dry out. Most climbers just close them up after a climb. If leaving your shoes open doesn't work, stick some dryer sheets in them and it should be just fine. :)

Comments about evolv Elektra VTR Rock Shoes - Women's:
I climb in these a couple times a week. Great for gym climbing and outdoor single pitches. I love the velcro and being able to take them off when I'm done with a climb. I don't wear these on longer multi-pitch outings though. The only downside is they are stinkier than a lot of other shoes.

Comments about evolv Elektra VTR Rock Shoes - Women's:
I'm new to rock climbing, so I had help with the sizing when buying this shoe. I usually wear a 10 womens, but bought 8.5 womens climbing shoes. So far, they have stretched a little, but not as much as a leather shoe.

Comments about evolv Elektra VTR Rock Shoes - Women's:
I got these shoes because of the velcro option of getting them fast off and on. However, this didn't give me as much options in adjustment and my feet didn't feel as secure. The velcro didn't win me over because I'd rather have the fit.

Comments about evolv Elektra VTR Rock Shoes - Women's:
these shoes are an okay shoe for someone who doesnt often climb....because they wear out really quick, ive had mine for approximatly 6 months and i am buying new shoes already. The shoes stretched a significant amount even though many climbers said that they shouldn't, but they have (many people with the same shoe have the same complaint)...the shoes make your feet smell terrible! and the sole becomes smooth and slippery rather quickly...they are a decent shoe but not for how much I climb
