It really depends on how you want them to fit. At a straight across 13 your Defys are probably pretty comfy. Depending on your skill level you may want a tighter fit. The Team is a more aggressively designed shoe to start with so it is going to be tighter in the toe box then your Defys as it is. I would highly recommend finding these in a local store (if you live in salt lake, BC will let you try them on at the warehouse.) and trying them on. No two climbing shoes will fit the same. You really need to try them on! Something to keep in mind, which you should know from your Defys, the Team is a synthetic shoe. It will not stretch. What you buy is what you get. On a side note, if performance and fit are not really important to you. You could probably get away with a 13 again, the more asymmetrical shape will give you a tighter feel and it will probably be exactly what you are looking for, something with a monster edge for the jibs and good smearing rubber.
