Evolv Rebel Approach Shoe - Men's
Compared to Evolv's other approach shoes, the Men's Rebel Approach Shoe is more durable than the Cruzer and more casual than the Zender. It's ideal for climbers who want to frequent sport crags, climbing gyms, and hangouts in the same shoe. Both the army and night styles are made with leather uppers, and the vegan jet style forgoes leather for synthetic; regardless of the option, the Rebel's upper is ruggedly water-resistant to keep clean on a rainy, muddy day.

Mammut made the Hueco's sole out of Michelin rubber, the very same rubber cars use to maintain traction on rainy roads.
