Evolv Defy Climbing Shoe
$89, evolvsports.com
Squeeze your feet into these tight-fitting climbing shoes and lace ’em up before putting hands on stone. A sticky-rubber sole gives traction on vertical rock and lets climbers stand on micro-protuberances flecking a blank wall. The shoes have a perforated synthetic upper for breathability and a leather foot bed for comfort and rock-feel as you’re edging up high.
