Last Season's Version.
The Defy Lace has been specially designed for both beginners in climbing and intermediate climbers seeking a comfortable shoe they can rely on for various styles of climbing. Suitable for both bouldering wall sessions and long multi-pitch routes outdoors, the Defy Lace is crafted for climbers prioritizing comfort and moderate performance.
Evolv has put considerable effort into the construction of this shoe. Its single-layer leather and semi-perforated upper allow the shoe to mold and stretch to your foot shape, providing a customized fit while maintaining structural integrity over time. The 3/4 length speed lace closure ensures you can tighten the shoes to your desired fit, enhancing performance by delivering extra power to your toes when necessary. The 1.2mm full-length midsole, paired with a slightly asymmetric toe profile, offers a sturdy platform for good edging attributes and confidence on overhanging terrain.
Balancing performance and plush comfort, the Evolv Defy Lace is an excellent choice for those seeking an affordable mid-performance shoe.
