Evolv Defy

Evolv Sports makes a great rock climbing shoe called the Evolv Defy Climbing Shoe. This shoe is a very soft and plush shoe that is designed to be very comfortable so that you can wear the shoe through long extended sessions of climbing. The shoe is comparable to a slipper, and has velcro closure which is a good time and energy saver as you do not have to spend time lacing up your shoes. The shoe lasts quite a bit longer than other shoes because of the fibers used.
