Factors to consider when buying climbing shoes

Choose size

One of the factors to which we must pay greater attention is the choice of size. You must fit the climbing shoe tight to your feet to assure a good subjection and to give precision to the edging. We must accept that the climbing shoes are not comfortable. However, if you fit the climbing shoe too tight it will hurt and prevent us from enjoying 100% of the climb. In terms of sizes, each brand has its own dimensions, so the sizing can change in one or more points according to the manufacturer.

Arching

The curvature of the tip or the type of arching of the foot of the cat plays an important role in climbing. When the foot of the cat has a tip that ends down, the climber can hold more accurately to small strips. It is said that the more arched the cat's foot, the more aggressive it is. The extreme tonnage, therefore, is intended for advanced climbers.

The asymmetry

Depending on the curvature of the sole and the shape of the rand, we say that a climbing shoe has more or less asymmetry (or that they are more or less aggressive). Usually, asymmetrical climbing shoes are more uncomfortable but they have better edging and benefits, exerting all the force in the big toe. However, if you are starting or looking for comfort, we recommend climbing shoes with less asymmetry.

The sole

About soles, there are different types of rubbers and thickness. A climbing shoe with a stiffer or thicker sole will be ideal for leaning on crimps and small holes, while the softer or thinner ones offer greater sensitivity and adhesion to the rock.

Material

Usually the climbing shoe of leather yield more than the synthetic ones. This is a factor to take into account when choosing the leather climbing shoes size, since we must choose some tighter ones, thinking that later they will yeld more.
