The Defy is one of the best selling climbing shoes in the world, and for a pretty darn good reason. Anatomical fit that is great for beginners and advanced climbers coupled with great looks make it a no-brainer for a first time or repeat buyer. This is a great entry-level shoe while also providing a comfy shoe for that climber that needs a whole bunch of different arrows in his quiver.

The Synthratek VX upper ensures lasting comfort, while the split tongue and dual hook and loop closure system provides easy accessibility and a secure fit. Add to that a wider and higher volume fit than most other shoes and you've got a pair of sticky shoes that you won't be ripping off everytime your feet touch terra firma.
