Does any one out there use the Evolv's Kaos? If so let me know what you guys think of them. I’m looking into buy a stiffer shoe then what I have now and the Kaos seem to offer that.. Hey Andrew you have the Kaos don’t ya, like them?

I have them and love 'em, they still feel pretty sensitive to me yet keep a nice edge for a long time. i would definitely buy another pair.

I climb in Evolv's Bandit. I know that it's not the same shoe, but as far as Evolv's shoes go, I really like it. They fit well and have really sticky rubber (kind of soft though). it's a great trad shoe, nice stemming and the low profile does pretty well in thin finger cracks.

I think I am going to try the Kaos next, as I've been needing a good sport shoe.

No, I don't have them but Africa does. I also know a few people with them and they really like them. If they fit get them.

Evolv came down to Vertical eXcape this past summer and put on a shoe demo. You should have been there! Anyhow, I don't really care much for the toe on their shoes... but I would compare it with the price on other brands and you can pretty much forget about any faults the shoe may have. Members of VX have been wearing the shoes consistantly since this summer and we have not recieved one complaint about them.

Here is a gear review on the Kaos:

my friend aron won a pair in the roctoberfest dyno comp. i think he likes'em.

uh, you ARE aaron. Oh wait, your other personality is called Aron too? It at least could have been a bit more creative and used a different name.

Mj

nope, my friend aron from michigan. about 6'6'' and can dyno like v9.
this aaron is like 5'11'' and can only dyno like v4.
he's in cali right now. met him in ynp this summer.

That's kind of crazy. I work with the Aron. For the record, he does dynamic climbing.

you know where exactly he's at right now???
i'm supposed to hook up with him in the valley this summer.
