Evolv Defy Climbing Shoe
The Evolv Defy Climbing Shoes combine the sensitivity of a slipper with the precise fit and convenience of hook-and-loop closures. These Evolv shoes go on in seconds and provide top friction with TRAX XT-5 soles. A lined synthetic upper keeps the Defy Climbing Shoes from stretching and allows a precise fit right out of the box. Evolv designed these performance shoes for a snug-but-comfortable fit instead of the ridiculous tightness that some people think is necessary. Now you can have precision footwork without all the pain.
Bottom Line: Bring a new level of comfort to your high-performance rock shoes by switching to the Evolv Defy Climbing Shoes.

Fit is great, has the feel of a slipper. Sole seems like it won't last as long as other shoes, but for this price it is hard to complain.

1. If you stink...the shoes will stink. Wash your feet and take them off after you climb.
2. They DO stretch, but only a tiny bit. My street shoe is an 11 and i wear 10's in these and they're perfect.
3. I've put over 60 hours on these shoes so far and they are still in awesome condition.
4. They're not THE MOST technical shoe...but they climbed a 5.13b in the gym about a week ago. Awesome shoe...would recommend to anyone.

I wouldn't recommend these shoes for very edgy and weight bearing kind of climbing. I got about 10 trips out of these and they have already torn on the Toe and the inside edges of my big toes. It's a good shoe, just not for the smaller edges you will find on some Face,Bouldering, and Slab climbing.

This was my first pair of climbing shoes. I am very happy with them. They have great traction on the wall and rarely slip. They fit well - they are the same size as my Nike cross trainers. I love the easy on, easy off Velcro! I would definitely recommend these shoes.

Love the shoe. It smears great and edges well. The only complaint that I have on them is that the sole and toe box are tearing apart from each other. Gonna get em resoled and keep climbing in them. I wear a 13 in Vans and boots, I got an 11 in these. They were tight as hell to start with, but stretched just a little and they fit like a glove. When I take them off they've formed a nice suction on my toe. Overall, I'm happy with them, just a little disappointed with the durability. Maybe it was bad footwork on a beginners fault, but none the less I'd recommend them.

These shoes are a true fit. buy them to your actual shoe size. Yes they will stink after about 40 days of climbing. But all shoes do. If people are complaining about the stink then maybe its their feet? Wash your feet people!!! Easy on and off shoe. No like real easy. The nylon lining inside helps the shoe glide off and on! This shoe is perfect for the climber that doesn't have the skills yet for a 5.12 or up.

Absolutely no complaints. It's relatively inexpensive for the performance you get out of it. I'm a beginner and I saw immediate results.

These shoes fit really well in the toe box. I have a small heel and always have a problem with the heel cups, and I have a high arch. The heel cup was a tad too deep for me, causing an open space between my heel and my arch. I then tried the Electras, the women's version, and they fit great for my small heel. These have good support and are really comfortable on!

Now I like these shoes because they are Vegan friendly but thats really not the reason I bought them. They are pretty damn comfortable but I'd definitely take them off in between climbs. These shoes really haven't seen any real rock so I'm not 100% sure how they will do on it but I do know that sometimes they tend to slip while climbing in the gym. Thats a bummer, lots of bloody knees and unexpected falls. Either way they are a good shoe -you will just have to find something that works.

i've tried other slippers in this price range such as mad rock's mugen and flash, but these are by far the most comfortable. finally, climb all day without pain.
