Defy Lace

The Evolv Defy Lace is the lace-up version of the updated 2025 Defy, offering slightly more lateral stiffness than the velcro model. More cambered and asymmetrical than typical entry-level shoes, it delivers precise footwork from the start. The thinner 3.5mm outsole improves sensitivity and rock feel. A solid option for beginners through intermediate climbers who prefer the precision of lace closure.
