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!

I suggest you get the same size..they fit the same. The pontas is just much more stiff so it feels smaller. I like the Pontas a lot, the heel is just a little baggy on my foot, it's weird.

Pretty close fit between the two. GOtta love stepping up from the Defys to the pontas. I have the lace ups but i am considering getting a pair of the velcros

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.

I have found that all of my evolv shoes run pretty close to size with each other
