The Men's Defy by Evolv is one of our most popular shoes and became an instant hit as soon as we released it in early 2005. It combines the benefit of a comfortable multi-purpose shoe and the convenience of a hook-and-loop fastener performance shoe. With the feel of a sensitive slipper, the DEFY will smear on any slick sloper or stick on overhanging faces while being comfortable enough to wear on long multi-pitch routes or gym marathon-training sessions. Climbers of all abilities and styles will truly appreciate these shoes after just one day...

"Good shoe for the price." 		          06/17/09
Good all around shoe and the price is nice. I got these shoes a half size up from my street shoe and they were still a little tight. They worked great in the gym and outdoors.

"Best budget-minded shoe, but wear out quickly" 		          05/29/09
These are a perfect balance between price and performance. They are relatively aggressive compared to other shoes in the price-range. They edge as well as some more expensive models. Two points of concern though: 1) They do stink after a few climbs and 2) They wear-out REALLY quickly. I'm on my second pair and both pairs have holes in the toes. I know of friends who have had similar problems. If it weren't for this fact, these would be the perfect budget-minded shoe.

"Great all around shoe for beginers on a budget" 		          05/18/09
I bought these 6 months ago and have used them 3 times a week since. They are a great shoe for climbing within your comfort level. The material stretches about a half size pretty quickly and stays around there for the life of the shoe. I really like the ruber for the price and woould definatly buy them again as an all day shoe. Remember to air them out or put powder in them when not in use because this material will smell somethin fierce after a while if you don't stay on top of them.

"Perfect first time shoes" 		          05/08/09
This was the first pair of shoes I bought. I tried them out at a local shop in sizes 11.5 and 12.5, since they didn't have 12's in: I ordered it from here. Now I wish that I would've gone for the 11.5, since the 12's (for me) give a little to much space. So, I think they run a little far from each other form each .5 size... As said before; the Odor becomes horrible after a while. I've been using mine for about 8 weeks now, and even after letting them breathe for a week - they smell. But they work good for me, with good grip, and nice cut on the toes for solid stance. Good allround, first time shoe! And I like the price

"Great Shoe, but a few things to keep in mind..." 		          05/07/09
A day after my first climb,I bought a pair of Defy's with the intention of dedicating the summer to learning how to climb. They spent at least 2.5hrs, 4x/wk, on my feet either in the gym or at the crag. I def recommend these shoes, but buyers should be aware of a few things: 1) They do stretch. I'm a 10.5/11 in street shoes and got 'em in 10.5. I suffered at first, but by summer's end they'd bagged out. 2) The rubber runs out quickly. People talk smack about Trax rubber, but it's plenty sticky. It's just that, by comparison, they just doesn't last that long. 3) Lastly, I know it's weird, but they really do reek! So, make sure you throw 'em in the freezer occasionally to kill the bacteria.

"size them right and they are beautiful" 		          04/22/09
If you get these shoes tight, they act just like the pontas and allow for precise footwork. I found them to be comfortable and stretch a bit.

"Great begginer shoe, sticks very well, but is not very agressive..." 		          04/21/09
This was my first shoe, I really enjoyed how the shoe climbed and stuck, especially on smears. The issues I ran into were, the smell (they STINK after a couple of climbs) and the flat shape of the sole. I'm upgrading to something a little more aggressive but would definitely reccomend these to a beginner.

"Great All Around Climbing Shoe" 		          04/14/09
If you are looking for the top of the line competition shoe, this is not the shoe for you. But if your are looking for a shoe that you can go from the gym to the rock and back again with no problem and is above average in all types of climbing this is the shoe for you. The shoe is quality made and comfortable for a climbing shoe. A great all around shoe.

"These grip the wall great." 		          03/19/09
This is my first pair of climbing shoes and they do the job just perfectly. They are great to learn and give you a great advantage. I have climb mainly in gyms and they are just great especially with the heal hook they allow you really to lock in and say put. Overall, I just love my new climbing shoes and how grippy they are.

"freakin sweet" 		          11/06/08
very nice. comfy out of the box. they don't breathe very well, but they aren't exactly for big wall so that's definitely not a show stopper.

"Phenomenal" 		          10/29/08
I have owned a few pair of shoes, but these take the cake. Never too hot, easy on and off and get great grip either indoors or outdoors. Great all around shoe for bouldering and long climbs. (only beef is that my pinky toe sometimes gets a bad blister)
