EZ's Wine and Shoe Review

Oh yeah, a couple glasses of wine and it's time for "EZ's Wine and Shoe Review".

My lovely wife picked up a bottle of Yellowtail Cab Sav from Costco for $5.00. Before I start the shoe review, I have to uncork and let the 2008 Cab Sav breath. It's fruity aroma has my taste buds salivating, so I will pour a glass and begin the review.

Evolv has upgraded the ever classic Talon for this Spring 2010. The old Talon was by far one of the best shoes Evolv has ever designed. The new Talon has kept most of the previous qualities and upgraded a few more. The upper synthetic is now perforated for better breathabiliity, Evolv has decided to incorporate their antimicrobial liner within the new Talon which makes the shoe even more comfortable out of the box than it was previously, the slingshot heal rand is a bit more aggressive than the previous model, and the Evolv logo is now molded into the slingshot rubber, cool. The heal has also been modified by incorporating a "Knuckle" type of patern for better heal hooking. The toe rand has been brought up even further on top of the toe box and slimmed down with thinner perforated rubber for better sensitivity. The one difference that most folks will notice first off, would have to be the bright Evolv green rubber in the arch of the shoe. Evolv has decided to change up the look of the shoe with neon green, non-high friction rubber in an area that just simply does not need to be high friction rubber. I think it is a super nice look that brings the new Talon to the forefront of the entire line. The performance of the new Talon surpasses the old model in sensitivity, looks and durability. The upper, as before, is soft right out of the box, but retains it's down turned profile even when "broken in". I do believe that Evolv has once again nailed it, as it does with every new or redesigned model it brings forth.

Well, my wine glass is empty and this shoe review has come to a close.

The Yellowtail is a wonderful, yet inexpensive red wine that doesnt break the bank. It is an Austrailian wine that delivers quality. Its undertones of Blackberry and Chocolate caress the palet and encourages adventure.

Untill next time, drink wine and all will be fine:)

I will have to leave this shoe review with happy thoughts and sweaty palms knowing that I will for sure be able to climb grades harder in the new and improved TALONS, sober of course:)
