What Climbing Shoes for Bouldering, Indoor, Crag, or Multi-Pitch Climbing?
The top brands we work with develop models specifically designed for every climbing discipline. It's not only the shape of the shoes that differs but also the types of rubber, as grip varies on indoor walls compared to outdoor rock surfaces. However, when making your choice, you shouldn't solely focus on the type of climbing but also consider the following elements:
How Often do you Climb?
Whether you climb occasionally or very regularly, keep in mind that slip-on climbing shoes wear out quickly and are not suitable for outdoor use.
The Type of Terrain
If you aim to progress in climbing overhangs, you will need more cambered shoes. On the other hand, if you are into multi-pitch climbing, stiffer shoes are preferable.
Technicality
When it comes to the technicality of a climbing shoe, several factors should be considered, such as heel tension, asymmetry, camber, and the materials used for the upper. These elements define the characteristics of the shoe. However, the final choice should be personal. Regardless of the specifics highlighted by the manufacturer, it is crucial to assess for yourself if the shoe meets your needs and suits your climbing style.
Closure System, the Advantage of Velcro
Although sometimes considered a detail, the closure system is crucial once in action. Climbing shoes with Velcro closures, unlike lace-up ones, offer precise, quick, and efficient adjustment. They save time and prevent interruptions during your climb to re-tie your laces. Whether with single, double, or S-shaped Velcro, these options enhance performance during your training sessions.
How to Choose Your Climbing Shoes?
Level: Beginner or Advanced?
Your level influences the choice of your shoes. A beginner climber should opt for comfortable shoes with less restrictive shapes, like the Black Diamond Momentum. With its symmetrical and flat shape, it is the perfect shoe for those starting in this sport. Usable on crags, indoor walls, or boulders, for climbing or belaying, it follows you everywhere.
If you are an advanced climber, you can choose a pair of straight shoes suitable for less intense training sessions. To push your limits, you can select a model with a strong camber, offering all the efficiency and performance needed.
How Should Your Foot Fit in Climbing Shoes?
Dispel the preconceived notions that suggest choosing climbing shoes 2 to 3 sizes smaller than your usual size. While size is an important factor for climbing progress, it is not necessary to follow this rule to the letter. Additionally, each brand sizes differently. The important thing is to feel comfortable in your shoes, without them being too loose. The foot should be well supported, at the edge of discomfort but not painfully so.
Make sure to choose rock shoes in which your feet that do not move, neither forward, backward, nor sideways. They should ideally fit the shape of your foot, providing good support to push effectively when necessary. Whether you have narrow feet, wide feet, or a particular morphology, it is crucial to find a shoe that feels comfortable. Trust your own feeling. Even though for some models, especially made of soft leather, it is common to choose a slightly smaller size, for other types of shoes, your usual size will fit perfectly.
What Size to Choose for Climbing Shoes?
It is always preferable to try different models in-store. Naturally, since our store is on the outskirts of Clermont-Ferrand, France and you may not be in the nearby area, we invite you to contact one of our experts by email, phone, or chat for all the information you need. As mentioned above, brands size differently. However, trends do emerge among them, so feel free to reach out to us.
