Evolv is a US-based performance climbing and outdoor footwear company dedicated to creating high friction technical rock shoes as well as performance casual footwear. Born in 2003, out of a dream to create the best rock climbing shoes in the US, the first Kaos and Bandit models were handcrafted and built in a 500 square foot garage by the two owners. A decade later, Evolv is now one of the top rock climbing shoe companies in the world and is trusted by many professional athletes, and weekend warriors alike, to reach their full potential.
Evolv proudly sponsors world-class elite athletes: Chris Sharma, Ashima Shiraishi, Kai Lightner, Peter Croft, Lisa Rands, Alex Johnson, Meagan Martin, Paul Robinson, Steph Davis, Lonnie Kauk, Craig Demartino, Ronnie Dickson, as well as numerous National and Grassroots athletes, many of whom contribute to product design and development at our US headquarters. By owning and operating a US manufacturing facility and R&D facility, Evolv designs innovative products and manufactures the highest quality rock climbing shoes under strict quality control.

Unlike adhesive sports tapes, our medical grade, self-adherent , water resistant and breathable magic hand tape sticks to itself rather than the skin with gentle pressure application. Perspiration and water will not loosen the cohesive bond and the porosity permits air circulation. You can snip the tape away easily and cleanly without leaving any sticky residue and uncomfortable pulling of skin or hair.
