Great Shoe!

by KarlosJ83, Gear Expert from UT, United States Written on September 10, 2011
Bought these as my first pair of Climbing shoes. Work extremely well in gym. I wear a size 10 and bought size 10. Heel very secure. Shoes fit well over-all. Break-in tough! Knuckle on big toe toughest spot to break-in. Climbed in 4 times for 3 hr period. Had to take off every couple of climbs or effected my climbing. I'm sure will be great shoe when broken in. Great price! Do not buy a ha

Great All Day Shoe

by Bob Farley, from AL, United States Written on December 16, 2017
This is a fine beginner and moderate all around shoe. It performs well on small chips, it’s toe is stiff enough to pull with on those steep or overhanging routes. Once broken in it is soft enough to smear on rock faces and shabby angled rock. While tight, it is comfortable enough to be ideal for all day multi pitch routes where taking off ones shoes is difficult. A great all around gym shoe as well.
Pros:
  • Great all around shoe
Cons:
  • Not a super technical shoe
Best Used for:
  • Everyday and gym climbing

Not for wide feet or uneven toe length

by William R., Written on February 20, 2016
I have wider feet than the average person and uneven toe length. The toe length was a bigger problem as my middle toe is longer than my big toe. It resulted in my middle toe being curled upwards when I put them on. Not comfortable at all. Otherwise, the shoes are fine. Just be aware of your feet and how they fit into a shoe. Also, I ordered a 9.5, which is a half size larger than what I wear for regular shoes. The shoes were still too uncomfortable and small. Probably not going to get a defy after I exchange them.

Evolv Defy

Good beginner shoe. Tighter fit than I expected, but I understand that that's okay when it comes to a climbing show. Great value.

Great Beginner/Intermediate Shoe

by RT, Written on May 5, 2014
This was a great first climbing shoe. I have been climbing about two months and love them. I improved from a 5.9 to a 5.10b climber over that time and find these shoes effective for everything I am currently able to climb.
