The Evolv Bandit has rapidly become one of our best selling shoes in the all-rounder catagory. Particularly popular with in-store customers due to its precise yet comfortable feel out of the box, the Bandit is perfectly suited to the typical UK rock climber. A reasonably stiff sole means the Bandit is well adapted to edging and all day use - therefore ideal for mountain trad, limestone and indoor walls. Depending on fit the Bandit will appeal to a broad spread of climbers - worn tight they have been used on top end climbs, whilst with a more relaxed fit they will appeal to intermediate, and even entry level climbers.

The Bandit has a similar feel to the popular Five Ten Anasazi Verde, albeit without the aggressive tightly slung heel of the Anasazi models. For many climbers who do not wear their boots super-tight this results in the Bandit being a better fit than the Anasazi, with less dead space in the heel.

Overall the Bandit is a great shoe that would be perfect for those looking for a step up in performance from the Evolv Defy, or a cheaper alternative to the performance offerings from Five Ten and La Sportiva.
