Has anyone had both the Evolv Defy, and the Evolv Pontas? If so, were you the same size in both shoes?My Defys are ready for a resole but I need a new pair of shoes ASAP for a climbing trip in two weeks. I won't have time to return for a new pair if I get the wrong size. Thanks!

same size, assuming you got the correct size in the other one. The toe on the pontas has more rubber, so the defy will feel a little bigger simply because there is a little more relief. there. Otherwise they are the same last and only have a different liner, the pontas coton liner will not stretch at all, the defy with give a little...more a comfort thing. I personally like the pontas alot more...I don't know why you would want your shoes to stretch.

I have owned both, the Pontas definitely fit tighter, I would go up a 0.5 size to keep the same fit.
