EVOLV Defy Rock Climbing Shoe for Entry-Level Bouldering and Indoor Climbing
The Evolv Defy positioned as an entry-level bouldering shoe, giving new boulderers a flat, forgiving option for indoor walls.
Price range: See on Amazon
What we liked
- + Flat, comfortable fit is easy on the feet during repeated falls and topouts
- + Affordable choice for new boulderers building technique before upgrading
- + Durable enough to handle the scuffing common on gym bouldering walls
Trade-offs
- - Flat profile makes steep toe hooks and heel hooks harder than aggressive shoes
- - Not a performance shoe, so progressing boulderers will outgrow it quickly
