What the others have said.
PLUS
1. Look for a firm midsole, not soft like a "Five Ten Moccasym". Your feet won't be strong enough to support you with a soft midsole. A firmer midsole will make it easier for you to learn to edge and smear, and will be more comfortable when jamming.
2. Don't be afraid to leave them on while you look at something else in the Store/Gym. It should not be a matter of enduring the pain. Many top climbers have said that "you climb better when your not thinking about the pain in your feet".
3. Get the right shape shoe for your foot. That is: if your big toe is longest, then an "asymmetrical" shoe will fit better (they also tend to be more powerful in the toe-box)
, but if your second toe is longer then go for a "symetrical" shoe (quite a constant rounded profile when you look down on the shoe's toe-box). |
