  • great informative vids thanks

  • If its REAL leather you should buy half a size to a full size smaller because REAL leather stretches. If its the fake stuff, buy a half an inch to regular size shoe. But like he said, keep it snugg and your foot will get use to it. Turn five fingers into one large unit.

  • what you mean by uncomfortable is it should be tight until ur feet feel the pain?

  • PAIN IS INSANE!!

    My climbing shoes are not uncomfortable & I manage to climb perfectly fine!! Yes they need to be snug! But I believe your shoes should HUG your feet rather than PINCH them! But it is personal preferance I guess??

    But telling people that climbing shoes should be uncofortable is a bit of myth!!

  • man no one wants to see your ugly ass wife, stick with climbing man...

  • Actually the important thing about climbing shoes is the tip: A flat tip is for more comfortable but less precise better for long and/or easy routes and an agressive tip is highly uncomfortable but very precise best for bouldering and/or hard routes. I actualy own two paires of climbing shoes: A very good agressiv evolve and a cheap comfortable one for whan I'm climbing longer routes.

  • @Iceprince4500 they go from around £60 to £130 at the most...

  • i picks girls like i pick shoes.

    i like a velcro, which allows for easy and out and not like a slipper, which is uncomfortably tight.

  • @costelloI Its a bit creepy.
