I've used this boot on vertical ice and during long days on my feet, mountaineering up steep terrain. It performs awesome for both aspects of the sport. Also, in 10 below temps, my feet were still warm. Initially, the weight of the boot took some getting used to but it wasn't too hard to adjust. Compared to other ice/mountaineering boots I have been stuck in all day, these are very comfortable. Highly recommended.

An all around good shoe for bouldering, sport and comfy enough to wear on all day, multi-pitch trad lines. The upper is made of leather and is very comfortable. Rubber is perfect. Heel cup. . .perfect. . . Toe box. . .nice! Not an overly aggressive shoe but you can still edge nicely with it on fine little footholds. Similar in style to the mad rock Mugen with the exception of the unnecessary grooves on the mugen.

Good rubber, good edging and comfort. I purchased this size 1/2 size larger than normal. At first, the heel cup seemed a little large. By sinching the velcro straps, my foot fits nicely. I don't necessarily need an agressive shoe for trad but this shoe is so comfortable and the rubber feels so good that I'm using it for trad and sport. This is my 1st Evolv shoe and I must say that I'm very impressed. Thanks Brian!

The besat screw on the market is FINALLY here. I've compared them to the ever popular Grivel 360 and the 360 falls short in comparison. This screw bites fast even in hard ice. The threads are sharper than ever. I've gotten them wet, placed them in my pack and forgot about them for a few days and there was no rust. The price is VERY afordable. I can't say enough about this product.

I'm not used to using a leashed tool but I do feel that this is a good tool. It's pretty light. I'l like to see a little more of a bend in the shaft. I'm also going to have to make a slight adjustment to the pic. It's angled too far down. Once I master using leashed tools, I think I'll really enjoy the T-1, especially for longer/multi-pitch routes where I would not want to go leashless. OP just keeps making improvements to their gear.
