The Evolv Defy is the iconic entry-to-intermediate shoe and it's back for 2025 with a bold new look and a performance refresh.
Evolv Size Suggestion:
Max Performance: use your street shoe size for an ultra-snug fit.
Performance Fit: add a ½ size to your street shoe for a snug fit that is still comfortable to wear for a full session.
Comfort Fit: add 1 to 1.5 sizes to your street shoe.
The 2025 Defy returns with everything climbers have come to expect from an entry level shoe from Evolv - comfort, durability, and technical features that elevate the Defy far beyond its 'entry level' shoe status. Slightly more cambered and asymmetrical than traditional entry level shoes, the Defy instills precise, confident movement from your very first climb. Now with a slightly thinner 3.5mm outsole, the new Defy feels sensitive and in touch with every foothold from the get go.
Built with a comfortable synthetic upper, single strap closure, and Evolv’s trusted Trax® SAS rubber, the Defy balances performance and comfort whether you're projecting indoors, edging outside, or just starting your climbing journey. From your first send to your hundredth - the Defy stays true to its name with a comfortable, versatile fit perfect for anyone from a first time climber to a seasoned pro.
Features:
Very Comfortable - slipper-like feel and design with perforated upper for increased breathability
Midsole: 1.6mm full length plastic midsole
Asymmetric Toe Profile - great performance even for new climbers
Upper: Synthetic (Synthratek VK) and semi-perforated uper - increased breathability
3.5mm TRAX® SAS high friction rubber sole
Anti-microbial treated mesh (Agion)
Split tongue opening
