I know this video is from 6 years ago, but I do hope I might get an answer: I bought my first pair of aggressive shoes (online, since there is no store nearby), and followed all the checkpoints of feet type, size charts, etc. I ended up with a size 37EU (same as my streetwear size) and fit for roman feet. As soon as I got into the shoes, my toes were dying. I couldn't stand on it at all. I suppose this means theyre too tight right? Or does this mean, you gotta break m in. Like where is the limit of "tight shoes"? The weird thing is, everyone who bought the shoes said they downsized at least by 1. Like im so confused. Everything fit well in this shoe, except for the toes. How do people downsize if mine are already scrumbled up as much as they can be at my same streetwear size? Anyway, long question short- how do you know if the shoe is too tight or if it's a break in matter?

Thank you for creating this and sharing your thoughts. As a physician who works closely with children, it has changed my perspective on having kids and I now believe in the system of antinatalism. There is no good reason, morally or ethically, to have a child in our current overpopulated, malicious world. It only creates more overall suffering. For those who really love children, they would choose to adopt one or more of the millions of homeless and foster children out there. Wanting your “own” child is an extremely selfish, but normally taught idea. I realize this is a very hard truth for most people and they will simply dismiss this idea altogether. Thank you for being conscientious enough to consider this path of life.

Depending on the brand and material I usually size down 1-.5 size from my street shoe size. 36EU is my sweet spot, tight but not painful. Currently breaking in my Ocun Nitros and it’s the same, uncomfortable but not painful. I was told that the best way to find your shoe size in climbing. It should feel weirdly tight but not so painful you can’t stand or climb. ❤ Cool video! Thanks for sharing

I’m size 9 and I have to wear anything from size 10-11.5 depending on make and model. I can’t go lower bc I have a skin graft on my heel. Also my feet are very wide for a size 9 so going a smaller size is just not possible. My current scarpa veloce are 2.5 sizes bigger than my normal shoe and it fits like a glove

Thanks for your video!! I just bought some Katakis in size 36 (street size is 37) and they are so painful to put on, mostly because of the shape holding mechanism which presses on your achilles' heel (gave me an instant foot cramp first time I put it on). But i've read everywhere that they stretch a lot since they're unlined leather, and they're already a bit wide (I have very narrow feet) so I don't want to size up. I was hesitant to wear them in the shower but I'll try the plastic bag trick and the hairdryer trick too, just wondering if that's not going to somehow melt/damage the glue?

It all depends on the brand/model, but I think you might have bought an aggressive shoe, or one that just doesn't fit your foot. My street shoes are 42, but so far, all 3 of my climbing shoes were size 41. Red Chili Spirit VCR, La Sportiva Miura VS, La Sportiva Solutions. The Red Chili were my first shoes that I wanted to be comfortable, so when I bought them, I could already walk around in them in the store, with mild discomfort. And when I went climbing in them, pretty much after the first session, I could wear them throughout the whole session, without needing to take them off. Both La Sportivas are downturned, so they are quite painful, still in the process of breaking them in. As a first pair of shoes, I would recommend going to a big store with a bunch of models, try all of them on and find one that you can walk in without any pain. Then pull on the heel, see if it pops off. If it doesn't, get those. Don't get painful shoes, because you simply won't enjoy climbing. Leave the painful shoes for the 2nd/3rd pair.

good tip: one foot is bigger than other so big toe on one foot will bend in the shoe, and in the other it'll be flatter - that's when you know you've got a good size. If both big toes are bent, more likely than not the shoes are too small, and conversely if both big toes are flat, more likely than not, the shoes are too big and when you break them in they'll be moving around a lot inside! (my friend who started climbing recently made this mistake and his toes kept popping off everything he stood on due to the gap in front of his toes after breaking in climbing shoes he brought in too big a size)

Good video. When you say shoes stretch it should be said that the sole don't get longer but rather the upper stretches which can make the shoe more bareable. It will not feel the same as a bigger shoe.

could be you have wide feet and that those model of shoes are just not suitable for your feet. Everyone has different shaped feet and what works for one person doesn't work for another. I'm a five ten guy. Nothing else I have tried fit my feet as well as five ten shoes, but for my friend, he finds five ten too narrow and always gets scarpa or one of the la sportivas (can't remember which)

It´s not about how small. That´s the most widespread misunderstanding about climbing shoes. Its about which form and size to support your feet and toe joints in order to NOT fuck them up for the rest of your life. Huge difference. Learn about foot form and which shoes support them in a sufficient way. So far the company that has the best expertise in this regard is the German company LOWA. Unpleasant people but they make great shoes.

@@fuerLutzi Danke. Wie gesagt die Fußform ist entscheidend. Ich würde empfehlen mich maximal in Schritten von 3 Paaren zum "Enthusiastenschuh" vorzuarbeiten. Das erste Paar sollte einfach komfortable sein und eine verstärkte Sohle haben. So schonst du deine Sehnen und die Knöchel. Dann kannst Du das Korsett etwas enger schnallen und einen Schuh wählen der enger ist und eine Sohle hat die nur noch halb starr ist. Beim dritten Paar nimmst du einen unverstärkten Schuh, mit downturn. Diesen Anfangs im wechsel mit dem zweiten Paar Schuhe benutzen. Hierbei ist entscheidend, das die Belastung beim Antreten immer gleichmäßig auf alle Knöchel verteilt wird (nicht nur auf den großen Onkel) und der Schuh den Fuß fest umschließt. Und bitte gerne an der Schmerzgrenze kaufen, aber so das man noch klettern kann. Der Schuh wird sich recht schnell dehnen und dann wie angegossen passen. Bitte Fußform beachten, das ist das Wichtigste. Was Schmerzen angeht: Schmerzen die durch Reibung zwischen Schuh und Haut entstehen sind unwichtig, da sich hier eine Hornhaut entwickelt, Druckschmerz auf Gelenke und Knöchel zeugen von falscher Schuhform.

@@fuerLutzi Seit ich mit Klettern aufgehört habe, hat LOWA leider den Red Eagle eingestellt. Aber ich empfehle dir, bei Google Bildersuche nach Fußformen zu gucken und dich selbst schlau zu machen, da die meisten Verkäufer keine Ahnung davon haben und auch die Schuhhersteller, meist wenig darauf eingehen. Das ist aber ultimativ wichtig um Folgeschäden zu vermeiden. Wenn du dann weißt was für einen Fuß du hast (Ägyptisch, Grieschich etc.) geh unbedingt zu einer Kletterhalle, die auch Schuhe verkauft. Die ganzen Outdoorbekleider verkaufen zwar auch welche. Die wissen aber über Rucksäcke und Thermojacken bescheid und nicht über die Eigenheiten von Kletterschuhen. Dann lässt du dir ein Paar Schuhe zeigen und stellst sie nebeneinander, guckst von oben drauf und dann bist du schon viel schlauer. Für dich als ANfänger , könnte der Boreal Jocker super sein. Probier den mal aus. Noch was: immer 2 Schuhgrößen kleiner kaufen als deine Straßenschuhgröße.
