Comments about Evolve Sports & Designs Defy Rock Shoe:

This shoe is not only the most comfortable shoe I have ever tried on, it provides more grip then any other shoe I have ever used. The difference in grip between this shoe and some others could be compared to climbing in boots versus a cheap pair of climbing shoes. I highly recommend this shoe. The only down side is the shoe only lasted me about three months of climbing two to three days a week outside on basalt.

Comments about Evolve Sports & Designs Defy Rock Shoe:

This is a great shoe. I had them before and have gone through several other shoes since and I feel most comfortable in this one. Climbing shoes, however, are a very personal business. These are not significantly turned at the toe, which suits me. I consider these my good shoes, when I need an edge on slab or need a shoes that digs and creates a more dynamic movement, but for me, these are also super comfortable. Easy on off and nice fit in the heal. Down side is, from my last pair, they will end up smelling pretty funky--maybe these won't and that is improved, but I prefer that to using leather. This is a great shoe--and cool looking too.

Comments about Evolve Sports & Designs Defy Rock Shoe:

bought as an everyday, long-route shoe. quite comfy but had to upsize 1 full size. performs very well - sole sticky and good control; smears great. edged well at first but wore off after about 4 months of regular use. not a top notch high grade / boulder shoe. buy it for the right reasons and you won't be disappointed.
