Ok, I was going to the Evolv website to browse shoes and noticed the home page has a big ad for customizing shoe colors. I love this idea, but for the life of me I can't find where to do this on the website! I tried finding a link in the add but there isn't one. Anyone know about this?

havent heard about it....but i'm sure that its somewhat new- give them a minute on the website and i'm sure it'll work itself out.
we'll also cover this at the July OR Show- so, worst case, i'll have more info for you then.

The site did say "coming April 6th", but looks like today they removed that. Hopefully soon!

Any new info about this?
Would love to get a pair of Talons in some rad colors, but I can't wait too much longer.

Colors look limited. Definitely adds some serious cost.
But still pretty frickin awesome and very innovative.

Why would anyone give a shit about what they look like when they climb? Especially the color of their shoes? This is for trendy gym climbers that are more interested in how "cool" they look and not how well or often they climb. Save some money by buying normal shoes and spend it on gas or grub when you go climb outside.

Maybe you folks missed the point, take another look... change colours, sure whatever, but you can actually change the design of the shoe by changing rands and stiffness, which is actually quiet cool if you ever thought "if I designed climbing shoes..."

Because I would love some colors to match my university colors. It's not about what I look like when I climb. I could care less about what someone thinks of my looks. Just something I'm interested in.

Just like I said, I'd like some shoes to match my school team colors. And if I am buying a new pair and plan on spending around that much I won't mind throwing out a few extra bucks to get colors I like instead of that ugly Pontas yellow.

They also copied the little holes that la sportiva does on the side to allow a better fit. Good idea, i think.
