@pokeynoone I retract my previous statement, you do get a size down. I had just started climbing when I said that and I got a job at a rock climbing gym and we give rental shoes a size up but now that I’ve gotten my own shoes a few times I understand.
no its a size or two down from your snealer size
you guys are awesome in a novice climber so thanks for all the info
Who ever takes Rock climbing advice from Expert Village is a dumb fuck. these guys suck. if you really want to learn, get a professional. i mean its costly but then you will be better and know what your doing
Evolv pontas lace =]
a size smaller then your normal shoe
Boreal Mutants is my shoe
I made a short documentary on rock climbing if you guys want to check it out.
I won’t even touch this one…
Thats my shoe!!!
You’re supposed to get a size up from your normal sneaker size
Hey, I just bought a pair of those slip-on Moccasyms. 5/10s. They’re nice.
nope… don’t listen to this guy on shoes (or anything else)! they should fit tight but still no hot spots…. if they cut off circulation to your foot they are too tight try a different brand or shoe if that does not fit! ask that guy who blows through shoes climbing like 6 days a week at your gym! he should be able to help!
When I first started, I always got bigger than what the gym would suggest. It sounds arrogant, but the first time I went, I wore a size UP from what they actually suggested, and I still spent most of the time in considerable foot pain.
You don’t use a harness when you’re bouldering.
beginner tips.
shoes are the most important pice of climbing equipment… i always thought the harness(you know the thing that keeps you attatched to the rope so you dont fall to your death(when used properly))was the most important pice of equipment. i guess i was wrong
When fitting shoes the key is the eliminate dead space but dont fit so tight as to create hot spots.
Sticky rubber. That reminds me of the 5.10 shoes ad where Lauren Lee says something about the sicky rubber makes her super human…
Seeing as these are for people starting out this is VERY bad info. If you are just starting you should get shoes that are tight but not uncomfortable. Not even the pros who get paid to climb always wear the pain fitting shoes. If you get shoes that are uncomfortable then you wont want to wear them.
Thanks I was wondering if my slippers were too small. They fit thight but I guess I simply have to bear it.
