Defy Climbing Shoes - Evolv

The Defy by Evolv stands out as one of the most advanced "entry level" options on the market. Their moderate camber and greater asymmetry than traditional beginner shoes ensure more precise contact between the climber and the hold. The Velcro version of these shoes is more flexible than the lace-up version, for increased sensitivity. With a PSR (Performance Smearing Rating) of 4, they are versatile, suitable for both smearing and edging, offering a perfect balance for climbers looking to progress quickly.
