The Defy Lace LV climbing shoe features a leather upper that molds to the foot for a custom fit. Its semi-perforated design enhances breathability while maintaining structure. The ¾-length speed laces allow quick adjustments. A slightly asymmetric toe balances comfort and moderate precision. The 1.2mm full-length midsole provides support. It has a 4.2mm TRAX® SAS rubber outsole that grips rock and gym holds, with a VTR rand for durability in high-wear toe areas.
