Solved My Problem

Evolv Pontas Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 5 August 28, 2008

My first shoe was the defy, it was a decent shoe fit wise but I wore through the toes in under 2 months. The pontas was suggested to me as a step up and so far they have been great. They seem much more durable then the Defy and the fit is much more precise. The shoe does fit slightly tighter then the Defy, but that was expected. They do break in a little bit, at first they were almost painful but once they loosened up they became the absolute perfect fit. Love them, highly recommended. Oh and they smell just as bad as the Defy's did.

Evolv Defy Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 2 July 29, 2008

Update*- Looks like my prediction was correct, the sole didn't even last 20 indoor days and I have returned them for a pair of Pontas instead. Really disappointed in the quality. The fit is still great though, and yeah they do smell pretty bad as mentioned by others.

Great Shoe, a little lacking on durability

Evolv Defy Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 4 June 25, 2008

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.

Great kit to get started

Black Diamond Momentum AL Harness Package

Rating for this product: 5 June 25, 2008

No complaints, this is definitely the best way to get started. Chalk and bag are great, harness is fairly comfortable, atc is functional, It is a great purchase for new climbers.
