Start strong. Stay sticky.
The Evolv Defy is the most advanced entry-level climbing shoe on the market. Designed with slight camber and an asymmetric fit, the Defy creates a more precise connection between foot and hold than flat, symmetric beginner shoes, helping new climbers develop better technique from the start. The perforated microsuede upper keeps things breathable without sacrificing structure. TRAX SAS outsole rubber delivers the stickiest grip in the Evolv lineup for reliable performance across rock and plastic holds. A single hook-and-loop strap makes for fast transitions, and soft heel construction keeps the shoe comfortable across longer sessions.
