RockCreek Description: The Defy Climbing shoe by Evolv is the best selling men's model that just got an upgrade. The Defy VTR appeals to new and advanced climbers alike as a comfortable, great-fitting shoe that performs exceptionally well. With the VTR technology (Variable Thickness Rand), you get a toe rand that has strategically varying thicknesses. The HW (High Wear) Zone will be engineered to be thicker and more durable than the other areas of the rand which will not only enhance the toe box structure but prevent toe-bulge as well.
