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 with them. The DEFY is a must-have for every climber who wants a comfortable shoe that fits and performs superbly out of the box.

    Features:
  • Profile: Asymmetrical toe profile (KA-1 last)
  • Sole: 4.2 mm TRAX® XT-5 high friction rubber
  • Rand: 2.2mm TRAX® duro-rand
  • Upper: Non-stretch Synthratek synthetic upper

"Great shoe especially for th price" 		          10/15/09
Ive had these shoes now for a while and have done everything from indoor full climbing to a bit of outdoor bouldering and back in these and I am very pleased I will be getting the same shoe once these wear out if that ever happens ( they are showing no signs of wear and tear yet keeping my fingers crossed)

"Good shoe at an awesome price!!" 		          09/30/09
I use these many times a week, for about three weeks now and they are still rockin. Although like many other people have stated they do retain a kind of strong smell of rubber for quite a while, but thats not a big problem for me, i dont smell my shoes that often. All in all they are a good shoe. They are not that aggresive but they are good for either a beginer or someone tight on money.

"Good Beginner Shoe" 		          09/09/09
I bought this shoe hoping it would last longer than my first pair the 5.10 Anasazis which I blew through the toes in under 6 months. After a few weeks of climbing I'm pretty sure they'll last a while. The Trax rubber seems very durable but the only problem with that is it is nowhere as sticky as the Stealth rubber on the 5.10s. It should be good for a beginner who is likely to have bad footwork and leave a lot of rubber on the wall like I did. Size it a 1/2 to a full size down.

"This is the perfect beginners shoe. Plus the lightening bolts on the loops are cool." 		          08/11/09
This was my first pair of climbing shoes, and I was a bit skeptical. However, after one day of climbing, I knew they were near perfect. The straps and double loops on the back make them a piece of cake to take off, and the padded tongue adds some nice comfort. My only issue is the material on top of the toe. It seems pretty weak and like it could rip easily. Other than that, it's a great bouldering/sport climbing shoe for the price.

"Best shoe you can buy for beginners." 		          07/27/09
I have been climbing with this shoe for a little over a month and its amazing. Its a great beginners shoe and is very cheap. It's a great all around shoe for sport climbing and bouldering, however, the only problem is the grip on the shoe starts to go away after a month. The straps are real nice though, as they allow you to take off the shoe easily, which is a big plus because your feet can start to hurt after an hour of climbing. Overall, its a great shoe for beginners.

"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.
