I'm currently wearing Evolv Kaos II velcro.
It's my new and 1st shoe.
But from some threads I'd read, the velcro seemed couldnt last for long..
Is it a good shoe as a whole?

The Kaos II is just about the last shoe I would recommend for a beginner, because of its softness.

So wear them until they need replacing; seems obvious.

Not sure about the Evolv Kaos II... but I climb in Evolv Defy shoes and the velcro hasn't been an issue yet. I've never had it come lose.
My shoes are about a year old and though not the most sturdy shoe I've owned, they're holding up OK.

Actually I'd been climbing for half a year now wearing rental shoes.
Those shoes really gave my some hard time so i considered of getting one of my own.

they were the 2nd pair of climbing shoes i owned. wore through the rubber pretty quick and had them resoled. would have done a second resole but wore hole through the top of toes. i never had a problem with the velcro even in the occasional crack. went to miura vs after.
