Evolv Defy Climbing Shoe
The Defy is Evolv’s best-selling climbing shoe. Evolv say the Defy is designed to work on everything. It’s an all-round climbing shoe with a flat, asymmetrical profile for a balance of comfort and precision on vertical climbs and a soft midsole for sensitivity on more technical manoeuvres. This time round, the Evolv has been updated with an enhanced fit over the previous model, a VTR rand for better comfort and durability, and a synthetic upper treated with an antimicrobial finish that keeps shoes smelling and feeling fresher for longer.
Evolv say that the Defy’s popularity comes down to its versatility; from sport, to boulder, to multipitch, and gym climbing, the Defy performs on anything and everything, and at great value, ideal for the do-it-all climber.

TRAX® Rubber
Used by Chris Sharma himself, TRAX® climbing shoe rubber manufacturer say they focus two things: traction (friction and grip) and hardness/durability. As the world’s best climber says, “Trax Rubber has the perfect blend of stickiness and durability for climbing of all types. Whether I am on a granite slab or an overhanging sport route, I have total confidence in every foot placement.” TRAX® has also introduced a number of eco-initiatives over the years, which you can learn more about from their website.

I am very satisfied with the shoe.I am a beginner an I think this is the best shoe for a start in climbing.It fits perfect!I bought the same size as my street shoes and I am happy for this.After ten times on the rocks they become a little more comfortable!They have thick sole too.Definetely will buy them again!
