hey bro thanks so much for the vids and content you gift to us. I recently started to boulder and I choose one or even two higher climbing shoes because I feel a lot more comfortable. When do you think I should change it to my original size which are at the moment too tight for me? Is it really SO important to have such tight climbing shoes? I would love to here your honest opinion on that.

This comment is very late on this video but just curious about the lumps on your big toe, I also have these and thought they were just common for climbers after wearing the tight shoes a lot and always just neglected them when they were growing however recently one has begun to get very painful when climbing. Are these also toe corns and to be treated the same way or are they different noticed you didn’t touch them in your video. Any information about what these are and how to treat would be much appreciated :))

Thanks for the great tips. You can try the pumice stone in the shower too. Works on hand calluses too.

Maybe I am wrong, but I think it’s a bad idea to get rid of the calluses on the hands. Isn’t having calluses better for climbing?

@susanholl5994 4 жыл бұрын

@@GeekClimber You don't want to get rid of the calluses, you just want to keep them small so they don't rip off and make a blister-like wound. You can keep the pumice stone in your shower and give your hands and feet a quick scrub when your skin is wet and soft, maybe once a week, to keep them manageable.

@Budokid 4 жыл бұрын

the skin buildup on the outside of your big toe knuckle. has that always been there or was it caused by climbing shoes? because most down turned shoes I try fell great except for that one spot on the outside of the big toe knuckle the toe rubber puts a lot of pressure there (not really rubbing, but downward pressure). did this ever happen to you and does it ever go away?

Hey bro, I have a quick question. do you think climber need to do weight training for making high grade? I think most around me in my climb gym don't do that. only a professional climber does. some said muscle training can have a bad effect on climbing. how do you think? (I need to sign up for a new gym tho)

@GeekClimber 4 жыл бұрын

I don't think it's necessary. I know a ton of climbers who climb super high grades but they never weight train.

Cool vid as always. Never got corns, but plenty of gnarly blood blisters that oozed blood and yellow puss-gross. 🤮😂 I went with larger shoe size and I use “Zen toes” (neutral color rubber toe cap). When I first started climbing, the shoes were 2 sizes down to my regular street shoe-it was too painful. Now I go same size or in case of my current fav shoe, Madrock Drones HV- one size up. The Zen toes not only protect the knuckles, but the toe nails. The constant friction of toenails on the shoe, has thickened the nail that it takes animal nail clippers to cut. 🐕Now I climb for up to 8-10 hours in a day with no issues, blisters or foot issues. 🤘

@GeekClimber 4 жыл бұрын

Blood blisters sound worse than corns 😆. The Zen toes sound awesome. Let me google and see what they are.

@TorianCarrConn80 4 жыл бұрын

@@GeekClimber I recently heard of astronauts and that they have a common problem of losing their finger nails because they have a lot of presure on the top of their fingers while working in their space suits. I would guess the same can apply to toe nails. You you press your toes too long and too hard onto your shoes und can get problems with your nails?

@rostam24 4 жыл бұрын

Looks like you may have hammer toes. Did your toes always look like that? If not, then maybe the development of hammer toes is why you got foot corns. Would explain why your shoes were fine for years and then suddenly caused foot corns.

My gym doesn’t have a strict requirement of wearing socks for rental shoes, and they sterilize their rental shoes every day. With that being said, I agree it’s optimal to wear socks for rental shoes, I haven’t worn rental shoes for 10+ years, so I forgot about it.

to be honest the simplest solution is to not use so tight climbing shoes and use socks, unless you are climbing proffessionally and is your career, wearing shocks and using less tight shoes wont affect much your capacity of climbing(plus your shoes wont smell as bad). ive been using the same size i use for normal shoes and socks and so far in doing good at climbing and my feet almost never hurt and i can keep them on for the whole climbing session without having feet pain.

Just use nail cutters to cut arround the corn. Like you would cut away the edge of a vulcano. Once the outer wall is cut away.. Grab a little knife and pop it out. Stuff it full with iodine and let it heal for couple days. Dont fix the symptoms (pain) fix the problem (the corn).
